Freddy grew up in Cornwall during the 60s
and was heavily influenced by the music of the time. "My dream was always
to become
an entertainer," remembers Freddy. "I grew up at the time when everybody
wanted to be in a beat group."
The young Freddy may have been enthusiastic but his
careers officer
wasn't!
"I told him I wanted to be a drummer in a band. But he told me to stop
wasting my time and to get a proper job."
It was around 17 years later that Freddy finally realised his dream. A DJ
let his cousin down for a party and Freddy stood
in at last minute.
"The moment I got up there I just loved it," remembers Freddy.
"It took me all those years from leaving school to get into
entertainment," he smiles. "Most people are getting ready to retire
from the game at the age I started!"
