Listen "Chatting with Tony Christie"
Episode Synopsis
Singer Tony Christie has been around the block a bit - Amarillo and Las Vegas to name a few...
With the recent release of his autobiography 'The Song Interpreter', we thought it time we caught up with Tony to talk about his incredible career. Songs like 'Is This The Way To Amarillo', `I Did What I Did For Maria', Avenues & Alleyways' in the 1970s have all achieved critical acclaim and sound as fresh today as they were then. Tony's albums have achieved several Gold and Platinum discs and he was the only singer in 2005 to have a single release and album simultaneously at Number 1. We also chat about that telephone call from comedian Peter Kay which resulted in his big hit being used for the Comic Relief record and in him appearing in the video with Peter's jacket!
A podcast you won't want to miss.
SERIES: 2 EPISODE 32
