Terri Fox @ Wilbraham Arms, Nantwich

Terri Fox has been delighting audiences worldwide since 1980 with his ultra glamorous female Impersonation act.
His unique talents cross all music genre and tastes, from musical theater ,summer season and cabaret – there isn’t an audience (age or type) that Terri hasn’t performed for and thrilled. Mentored by such unforgettable icons as the late, and great, Danny La Rue and the late FooFoo Lamar, Terri is “entertainment quality” at its finest and is one of the leading female impersonators in the world today.

Terri has performed at prestigious venues throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with appearances at London’s Savoy Hotel, The Dorchester, The Landmark and Claridges. Overseas work has included appearances in America, Canada, Spain, and France. As a spin off from Terri‘s West End Show, he was asked to perform at the Cannes Film Festival as a celebrity guest. This led him to America where he performed at the Ramada Inn resorts at Fort Lauderdale and in Los Vegas. Back in Europe, he opened a new show at Banalmadana in Marbella and Purto Banus, Costa Del Sol, Spain. Calling it “Terri Fox‘s Palace Cabaret Club”, his show was sold out every single night.

In 1991 Terri wowed audiences with his London West End debut, “The Terri Fox Experience”, which was originally booked for only six months. Due to demand, the show ran for almost 13 months and broke box office records for any show of its kind. Terri has also appeared on numerous TV chat shows, light entertainment productions as well as hundreds of radio shows and press interviews. He also appeared in TV’s “Coronation Street” and had a part in the film “An Inspector Calls” along side actor James Fox.

Terri is definitely so much more than just a “comic in a frock”. He sings, dances, acts, impersonates and also does hilarious stand up comedy. He displays a talent that blasts the notion of “Dressing up in Drag”. Terri‘s shows are elegant, tasteful, professional and extremely funny. He is known by his many thousands of fans all over the world as an ICON

One reviewer said… “The gowns are breathtaking, the wigs are totally stunning , the voice is versatility itself. Terri illuminates women rather than merely impersonating them, walking a fine line between character and caricature, and has never being anything less than hugely funny. He has a sharp wit, is full of human perception and high energy and actually says what most people only dare think!!!”

Guttersnipe @ The Rising Sun Vaults, Crewe

The Roy Orbison Story @ The Lyceum Theatre, Crewe

He’s the man with the sunglasses and the black suit who delivered some of the world’s darkest and most emotional ballads, yet Texas-born Roy Orbison remains one of the most distinctive looking and sounding performers in modern music. The one and only Barry Steele takes on the role in The Roy Orbison Story. He comes with great credentials and a genuine admiration for the Big “O”. Now he is set to put the rock back into ‘Roy Orbison’ as he takes to the stage to commemorate this legend in The Roy Orbison Story.

Expect what is being billed as an upbeat and contemporary slant on Orbison’s legacy, as Barry Steele and Friends take audiences on a musical journey from the early Sun years right through to the late 1980s, when Orbison was experiencing a huge resurgence in popularity and worked with Bono, Bruce Springsteen and others including super group the Traveling Wilburys alongside former Beatle George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.

So get ready for a night of solid gold 60s hits and 80s contemporary genius as the Roy Orbison Story celebrates the musical legacy of The Big O. The production also features not only original material written by but never sung by Roy Orbison, it also showcases chart busting hits originally made famous by the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Jeff Lynne , ELO, George Harrison, Del Shannon, Chris Isaak, The Spencer Davis Group and The Traveling Wilburys; Barry Steele has been stunning audiences with his uncanny ability to recreate the vocal talents of the legendary Roy Orbison, winning rave reviews across the globe.

"What can be said about this young, versatile, entertainer? (quite a bit, actually!)

He started his vocal career and entertaining at a very early age. however, it was not until he teamed up with another young man and created the duo ' Full Stop' that things took off.

That was some years ago and since then Wayne has worked with some of the biggest names in showbiz (Jimmy Cricket to name just one). He has appeared on the showcase show call with ' The Stage' newspaper, who stated that 'Full Stop' are like the up and coming 'Ant and Dec'.

Wayne and ' Full Stop ' are still going strong and continue to make people laugh wherever they go. In 2005 Wayne decided to pursue a solo career as well as the duo and has proved himself to be worthy as a solo artiste.
