A great entertainer, and I loved some of their songs, but

I don't know that many groups off the top of my head to decide if he was the greatest.

He certainly did some great choreography.

My parents told me a story that they actually met him once and that he was a really nice chap but also that he was as hyper animated offstage as on it

Freddie Garrity. For some reason, when I was much, much younger I used to get him confused with Freddie “Parrot Face” Davies.

Probably because they were both regulars on Junior Showtime etc.

What with all the zany jumping in the air antics, I wonder if he was an influence for Dave Lee Roth’s later, similarly crazy stage antics?

Freddie and the Dreamers were the first ever 'live concert' I went to.

My Mum took us as a birthday treat for my brother's 6th birthday. What a great memory it is.

I wouldn't say he was the greatest, but he certainly was fun.

That sounds like a wonderful memory to hold

I’ve mentioned Freddie of course but kudos also to his band mates to; although they didn’t try to mimic some of his more elaborate stage antics, they nonetheless kept up with the dance choreography whilst simultaneously playing their instruments AND providing backing harmonies
