RIP Freddie Starr
Dangerous but insanely funny
We did tours of the Middle East,there were very strict codes
"Just two things Mr Starr,never swear and never refer to Prince Hussein directly"
Curtain up
Freddie:Aright,which one of you f***ers is Prince Hussein?
Curtain down!

He was in everything and fantastic in everything

On a personal note he encouraged me every step of the way

So sorry to hear about Paul O’Grady
He’s been there or thereabouts all through my career-sneaking into The Vauxhaull Tavern in the early 70s with the likes of Richard Warwick & more recently a ‘ quiet’ dinner in Gozo
