MUSIC legend Tony Christie, whose illustrious career has spanned over 60 years and is still going strong, is coming to Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire on Thursday, June 25 with his ‘Great Farewell’ show.

Born 1943, Yorkshire, Christie (aka Anthony Fitzgerald) started his musical life in 1960 at the age of 17. This was in a duo called the 'Grant Brothers'. He fronted bands until signing with MCA as a solo artist in 1969. Then came his hits such as ‘Amarillo’ and ‘I did what I did for Maria’ and so many more.

The 1970s were massive for Tony with him selling over 10 million records, and in the ’80s he was awarded the award 'Die Golden Europa' by German radio for superb showmanship.

More hits followed, in the ’90s, such as ‘ Sweet September’ and the Jarvis Cocker song ‘Walk like a Panther’. Then came the phone call that brought Tony to be one of the biggest artists still going today. Peter Kay brought Tony to a whole new generation of youth with the song ‘(Is this the way to) Amarillo’ and ‘Avenues and Allyways’ from Phoenix Nights.

Tony even got into the football spirit with ‘(Is this the way to) The World Cup’! He has been declared the “king of British music”, his music spanning many genres.
