‘Great chance to support live entertainment’
Jimmy Cricket is set to team up again with friend and multi-talented entertainer Andy Eastwood, who can do a “great George Formby tribute act”.
The famous comedian will appear alongside Andy at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, on Sunday 19 April.
The show is being presented by the local Bexhill Festival of Music Society, which is led by Tony Mansi.
Jimmy has worked with Andy on numerous occasions in the past and continues to be in awe of his musical talents.
“Not only can Andy do a great George Formby tribute, but he is no mean musician with the ability to play several instruments at an incredibly high standard, including the violin and ukulele – plus many more,” said Jimmy.
“Tony has put together a great early evening’s entertainment programme, with the show due to start off at the very family friendly time of 5pm.
“This will be a great post-Easter opportunity to support live entertainment if you live on the south coast around the East Sussex shoreline.”
Wigan-born George Formby was an actor, singer-songwriter and comedian, who became known to a worldwide audience through his films of the 1930s and 1940s.
On stage, screen and record he sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele, and became the UK’s highest-paid entertainer.
