Description
Raymond Froggatt was born in Birminghamon 13th November 1941. Due to TB in his teenage years Raymond was forced to change his lifestyle. Froggie, as he is known by his army of fans, started his working days as a pipe lagger, night time would be spent singing in the pubs and secretly writing poetry in his spare time, a great talent that maybe would have stayed hidden if not for the illness. Once he started to recover Froggie decided to advertise for musicians. Four very talented musicians called The Monopoly were to become Froggie’s new band. Before long he became signed to the top record companies of the time. His writing talents also led to his signing to major publishing houses a great honour as his songs were being recorded by artists all over the country and abroad, including CLIFF RICHARD and the DAVE CLARK FIVE. His songs are still recorded by major artists. In 1992 Raymond released his autobiography telling stories of his earlier years in the music business. His concerts are a great success, the Froggie followers arrive at the shows clutching their frogs with green scarves waving, certainly a sight to behold. Froggie summed up his own career when he said to John Ogden: ‘What I would like to be remembered for is what I do best: that I could entertain and that it was fun – for people to look back and say – we had a great night with Froggie. We promise you a good night. An evening with Raymond Froggatt is pure magic, and an evening not to be missed.
