Are there any Tony Christie fans who are interested in talking about that great singer?

I would like to add there is an interview on

http://www.bbc.co.uk/print/southyorkshire/toby/tony_christie/index.shtml

that announces a new album.:lol:

yea ill talk about christie

Hi George,
Which are your favourite songs? How often have you seen him live? Do you have his music made in Germany?

i like all his songs,ive still got his lps he made and also ive met him many times through my mate then g/f and now wife she baby sat for him and his wife and later on i bumped into him in spain when i was visting my son who lives over there,his german music is good but some are not well classic christie but thats what they like,also my friends who live in germany say hes massive over there,the last time i saw him live performing was in the costa del sol near marbella and well hes still got it for me,in uk i saw him live at blackpool at the queens hotel,that was just before he left for europe due to no work in uk,a very nice guy very polite and still packing them in.

Hi George

I didn't know that he also performed in Spain. We never really get to know about it. I sent you a private massage on the forum. Please check it.

There is a relatively new website on Tony Christie

http://de.geocities.com/cmigalk/

and made by his record firm but in German

http://www.da-music.de/kuenstler/kuenst.php3?sid=3fc2f49223aae56af639a8988628dec3&sender=D&ab=D&call=B&kuenstnr=79

I heard he was about to release a new album.

Do you know when? In the interview I heard he didn't really answer the question of :When??

No sorry just know its soon.
I was suprised actually as i thought he had retired from show business altogether.
Just for interests sake were did Tony Christie live in Sheffield.

I think he said Hilsborough in the interview (above) and he had a pub there that died after 11 months.
It's interetsing that a lot of fans thought so. He has been so active in Germany all the time and a lot of fans only ''found'' him again with the internet boom. He has made so many Cds over the years.:lol:

:!: Who has got the following singles for sale or swapping

Life's too good to waste/Just the two of us: Trackers/Tony Christie
and
My prayer/ I need you

Tony Christie: great singer, havent heard him for ages.

Haven't you heard his song: Walk like a panther -some years ago?

......His daughter was born the same day as me, roughly the same time :-)His wife was in the next bed to my mum :-) Don't know owt about hime though!

My dad was good friends with TC back when I was a boy (he lived near Endcliffe Park by the way) and they were partners in the Hillsborough pub / nightclub (Christies) before it died.

I remember him being a nice guy, but don't think anyone in the family has had any contact for years.

Used to see Tony often when I lived in the Nethergreen area, he drove a big Rolls-Royce reg no. TON 10 I think it was. reckon his house was near the back of Endcliffe Park. Not my cuppa tea but a great voice anyway. Bill

In one of his newsletters we could read that he was fined the sum of 10 pounds because there was not enough space between TON and 10.;)

In the late 70's he used to frequent the Nottingham House in Broomhill (the landlord, Mick Doughty, lost a packet investing in Christies nightclub) - the only Jukebox in Sheffield with his songs on according to the locals..................how did it go..................................."Show me the way to hammer brillo".......

I remember he used to bring in a tin of buns on a Sunday for some of his friends. Mick ended up at a pub in Handsworth, don't know if he's still there.

Mick (aka my dad) is still has the pub in Handsworth.

Does anyone know which is the record firm he is working together with and who is the producer of the new CD?

Pass on our regards from the carol singers of old Broomhill circa late 70s early 80s.

Me feeling it. Shabba!

If there are any Tony Fans left, help voting here. Maybe Walk like a Panther or Amarillo have a good chance for the Guiness book.

Check the following site:http://www.webit21.com/top10/index.htm

:thumbsup:
I saw tony recently in Gemany, great event. His voice is still great.

:confused:

Any news on Tony's new Cd?? Who knows about it?

There are two interesting sites announcing Tony's comeback to the UK

Written by Jarvis Cocker and the All Seeing I.
Produced and performed by the All Seeing I.

Should have done better in the charts.

he's in bridlington 19th oct,saw it advertised today while i was there today

Nice to see Tony Christie back in the limelight,this lad should be up with the Tom Jones's of the music world,a great voice and a class act .

I agree with you, just a pity he isn't coming to Sheffield on his forthcoming tour of the UK. I would have thought someone would have remembered to include it knowing of his roots in this area. Maybe someone will read this and include it. By the way I do believe he is singing on Calendar on Monday night and also on Look North Wednesday, I think.

He hasn't been out of the limelight that long. I remember about 4 years ago he was on top of the pops singing "walk like a panther" with The All Seeing I.

Hi
we have now two Tony sites, don't we want to put them togther ?

MOD: Merged, thanks. :thumbsup:

Thanks, I think this is better.

Has anybody already been to a concert? If so, how was it and are there websites with photos and reviews?

I think it was Toni Christie who was playing in a bar in Magalluf 2nd week in september when I was there on holiday.

Does he do Spain ? I cant remember I was ****** that night but he had 4 guys up on the stage in cluding me singing bits of a song ...
