Tony Christie was at the Blackpool Opera House, Winter Gardens on Tuesday 8th March 2005. Any return to Blackpool will be announced here..
In 1990 Tony Christie came together with producer Jack White who had been responsible for the huge success of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, and Engelbert Humperdink. The result was a hit single " Kiss in the night " and an Album which went Platinum in a matter of weeks.
Successful tours and TV appearances continued throughout the 90s and in 1999 he was once again in the top ten of the British charts with the song " Walk Like a Panther " written for him by Pulp front man Jarvis Cocker. (Tony was back on Top Of The Pops after 25 years).
It was the use of "Is this the way to Amarillo" in Peter Kay's "Phoenix Nights", which brought Tony to a new audience of young fans and bringing him "Cult status". Tony has been asked to record the theme tune to Peter's new spin off series "Max & Paddy", due to be aired in November.
A huge 30-date tour of the UK started on the 2nd March 2005, following the release of a TV advertised " Best Of " album. This will include 6 brand new never released songs as well as 18 of Tony's hits and favourite album recordings.
