- THIS IS A LITTLE TRIBUTE TO FREDDIE GARRITY 14TH NOVEMBER 2016
Freddie would have been 80 this year and I know he would still be larking about and having fun as he always did. Everybody still misses him and its been 10 years since he passed on. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE !!

I loved Freddie and his dreamers when I was a kid. They were such good fun and made some great records. A major part of 60s pop music. 😊
Brilliant singer and band who I still listen to on vinyl to this day.
Wow. !!! What a great tribute to Freddie Garrett. Rest In Peace. Hopefully, Freddie is doing The Freddie in Heaven.
We will never get those glorious uncomplicated days of the 60s back what a wonderful time to be a child magical I know I was there wish we had those times back again.i loved Freddie garrety
Very sweet sentiment. I was in the 4th grade. It was special indeed.
Unfortunately not everyone's lives were glorious. Maybe if you were a small child living in a protected environment, but there was much social unrest and a war in Vietnam. I'm turning 70 and don't remember the 1960's as being so wonderful for many people. My thoughts.
You are so right
Part of what made the 60s so special died with Freddie
He was a character, the sixties at its best
Funny,funny guy and a very talented singer you don't see the likes of Freddie and the Dreamers anymore❤
I would say a very unique voice indeed.
He had the BEST VOICE of the 60' s ......RIP
I never knew Freddie was as good as this ,,,,and I grew up in the 50s and 60s ,,,,,brilliant
I met Freddy at the Place nightclub in stoke on trent where I worked as a doorman in the late eighties, he was a gentleman. I spent some time with him taking photos, and he was absolutely fantastic. R I P Freddy
I count myself so lucky to have seen you perform at Blazers in Windsor, probably in the 1980’s, thank you , I’ll not forget you.
The 60s were special
My first ever gig! I'd pestered my folks to take me to see Freddie and eventually they acquiesced to my childish ranting. I was 5 years old.
So, we went to see FATD and what a great show it was!!
I even had my photo taken with Freddie after the show.
Fast forward to 1970 and Freddie reinvented himself slightly as host of Little Big Time and the central character in the 'rock opera' Oliver In The Overworld.
Anyone wanting a different side of Freddie should check out the song The Little Girl Who Refused To Cry. It's a belter!
The last time I saw Freddie was in the early 1980's, Guildford if memory serves, he was still energetic, ever the showman, the years fell away from both of us that night and I was a 5 year old at his first dream gig again. Sadly I was too shy to approach Freddie to request another photo.
Very underrated vocalist
Freddie Garrett and Gerry Marsden were the BEST singers in the 60s
NOT to be disrespectful Fran. But my cousins surname is GARRITY. I thank you tho for your nice comment. I've lived in the U.S. since 1968. I wasn't able to see Fred for a few years before he passed. There will NEVER be another Fred. Continue to rest in peace, Cuz.xxxxxx
Miss him
I remember watching the telly with my Granddad, watching Freddy, I must have been 5. I remember my Granddad saying "Al Jolson".
In the early 60's I remember watching Freddie turning out for a celebrity football match at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool. He was very skilful and previously had trials with several 1st division football clubs, before committing himself to the music industry.
lovely Freddie god bless you
Great entertainer
This was wonderfu l- thanks so much for making this!
I remember seeing a girl that I went to Jr. high school with, doing the "Freddie" dance at a Dairy Queen from car radio playing "I'm Telling You Now". Nice memory, and I think that was the whole point of Freddie and the Dreamers. My deepest condolences to his family, and friends.
Great story, many thanks for sharing this info with us.
Thank you for your kind words. He was a great person. Continue to rest in peace Cuz. Love you.
Fabulous Freddy great to see this Nico
I remember seeing him in pantomime at Doncaster's Gaumont - a very lively performer!
A very affectionate tribute. Cockles warmed - thanks Freddie.
I played a gig with Freddie as a support band in the 1970s so chuffed i met him
he opened up Tescos, and cut the ribbon in Darnell Sheffield, then went to the barbers across the road, he was his mate.
Thank you; I never knew that Freddie played the guitar.
He wrote (a very few) songs too.
Happy Birthday Freddie !!
Great 👍 his last dreamers were the best
Nice tribute...always loved Freddie...Now I can see in those two photos of his mom and dad...he got his height (lol) from his "momma !! First time I've seen them...
A great band put smile on faces good fun my mom loved this band I can see why r I put God bless you Bobby green
the bass player Roy Crewdson married my cousin Barbara
Pete Birrell played the bass, Roy was the rhythm guitarist -- but anyway, nice one!
Friends, what's the name of the song at the beginning? (baby you belong to me and baby you will always be the kind of girl to make my dreams come true)?
Does anyone know where the picture of Freddie lining up with the 2 football teams was taken?
He is related to me I'm Harvey garrity
Then we are related somewhere along the line Harvzzy
My dad was from Manchester I live in California.
@@maureenmcglynn3777 nice I never met him but he was part of my family and it would be cool if we were lol
Can someone tell what the first song is please please please
'Baby You Belong to me'.....
@@ianrook6082 thank you so much
The photograph where he married my nanna 💕
Not Chrissy, she wasn't real. Just fame hungry
How old was he when he died?
69 in 2006
Freddie would have been 86 if alive in 2022
Gerry, we’ll miss you! “How Do You Do It?” was one of the great songs of the British Invasion. Marvellous performance, but the audience looks a bit out-of-it!
I dont think youre quite with it mate
