When was chris mcclure born

He did but canceled and obv in light of everything he ll no be doing any gigs i was on the phone to him the other night hes keeping well.

God bless ya Chris. Used to go and see him in the late 60'summer in the Troc in Hamilton. Loved him and his music.

Glad to know he is still going strong. Brought Chris up to Stonehaven area 2 yrs ago My mum tells of the stories where Chris was appearing with fellow singers at say, Locarno, Palais etc etc. Posted by footalk at Email This BlogThis! Unknown 16 April at PolythenePam 1 October at Unknown 24 February at Unknown 30 July at Unknown 28 September at Unknown 7 October at Unknown 26 December at Unknown 24 August at I remember Hughie Green was quite brutal with some of the other acts.

I eventually came second in the show. If only Hughie had let me sing an up tempo song…. Old friends still call me Chris but I think the change worked. In I supported Billy Connolly on his British tour. I would then meet him at gigs he did with the Humblbums. We got on fine. Later we did the London Palladium together and it was one of my greatest moments. STV did a one-off special around me and then we did eight weeks in my own series. And I loved it! We did pop songs with orchestras and sketches like this Dracula one, pictured right No;6.

The show was a great profiler for me. The picture on the left No;7 is with some of the dancers from the Pavilion, including on the right, Rainey, the lady who was to become my second wife. Where else would I meet her? Up until the last three votes, I was leading and then the English votes came in and blew me away. Later on, when I was in the band, I would get a little bit of racist taunting from the jealous boyfriends who had watched their girlfriends stare at us all night from the side of the stage.

The work changed so I moved into the clubs to see what they had to offer. Then my uncle Bruce, the famous choreographer, talked me into appearing in panto. I loved it.

During the run of my first panto, Sinbad, I got a chance to appear with the Osmonds at the Albert Hall. Amazingly, they got an understudy to cover for me while I did the London gig. Incidentally, the Osmonds were very quiet, very professional, but I chatted to their parents quite a bit and they were really nice.

The last was Aladdin, playing the genie at the Pavilion. Its fitting because the very first panto I ever saw featured my uncle Bruce as the genie in Aladdin. I was quite fit and energetic, and a former school champion but I had to race against the Powderhall Champion Roy Herron.

On the day, I was given a yard start but I was so terrified I never even heard the crowd. Incredibly, I won the race by inches and I was astounded. Marriage to my first wife, Mary, produced three daughters and I have two kids, a boy and a girl with Rainey. It should be great fun. I love the place. In fact, like Tommy Morgan, my ashes will probably be scattered in the place.
