BRIAN (ARTIEST BIOGRAPHY)
BRIAN was bom on the
29th October 1943 ‘in Salisbury (Wiltshire) England.
He emigrated to-Australia
with his family at the age of four.
In Australia, BRIAN was
living in Sydney and Brisbane, as well as many other different towns.
At school BRIAN was not
exactly an «A» class pupil, he preferred singing to studying!
So, at the age of fourteen, he went looking for his first job which
turned out to be a junior storeman, and after that changed
frequently.
His jobs ranged from storeman to telegram boy, postman, milk-deliver,
rigger, truck driver, ditch digger, etc. etc.
BRIAN says «i was fired
so many times because i used to do more singing than what i did work!».
His singing career
started when he entered a song contest, held by a T.V. company. He
was the lucky winner, and from that day on, he was a regular
attraction at all the teenage clubs, radio and T.V.
While BRIAN was on
tour, he sang at the coast al holiday resort «Surfers Paradise»,
until an English group invited him to come to the Continent.
BRIAN’s dream, his
illusions of youth, became reality, a trip to Europe, first stop
Brussels. A step closer to his home England.
BRIAN toured throughout
Belgium, France and Germany, for his manager and producer, Albert
van Hoogten, who decided to record «Poinciana», Brian’s first hit!
lmmediately, everybody
realized the real qualities of BRIAN, and as we expected, «Poinciana»
would be only the beginning of his career, but he should do much
better.
His recording of «Give and take» confirms the confidence we put in
him.
Have we no good reason
to be somewhat proud to state the facility with which the always
modest and smiling BRIAN climbs the rungs leading to the
consecration.
Should we not applaud
his dynamism, his enthusiasm and his professional conscience.
