Birmingham singer Raymond Froggatt will be in concert at Lancaster City Council venue The Platform, Morecambe on Friday, June 20 as part of his Birmingham Rain Tour 2008.
Froggie, as Raymond is known by his army of fans, became a professional singer due to contracting TB in his teenage years which forced him to change his life style. He had been a pipe lagger and spent night times singing in pubs and secretly writing poetry in his spare time, a great talent which would have remained hidden if not for his illness. When he started to recover, he put together a band and before long was signed to Polydor, one of the top record companies of the time.
Froggie`s songs were also recorded by major artists from the UK and abroad, including Cliff Richard and The Dave Clark Five. Still today his songs are recorded by major artists and in 1992, he released his autobiography telling stories of his earlier years in the music business.
His concerts regularly sell out at venues across the country and Froggie followers arrive at the shows clutching their frogs with green scarves waving, certainly a sight to behold. Froggie writes and sings his own songs mesmerizing his audience, making them laugh with one of his stories or cry with emotion with a song which touches the heart like no other.
Froggie has recently released a new album titled 'Birmingham Rain' and is on tour to promote it. An evening with Raymond Froggatt is pure magic and not to be missed.
The show will start at 7.30pm and tickets cost £13 adults, £12 concessions from the Box Office on 01524 406108.
