Anyone remember David Essex?

Post by sandy »

He is on his final tour {cry} He came back to Bristol on monday and gave an excellent entertaining night of all his songs over the years. I know he isn't to everyones taste, he was a pin up on my wall in the 70s and has retained his voice and that twinkle in his eye. Was thinking what a vast difference between him and my other idol of the time David Cassidy who has thrown his life away on dr-ugs,booze and gone bankrupt! David E has always appeared as a gentlemen in the many years we have seen him, his parting words were a big thankyou to us as without us her would not have had the opportunities he has had over the years, he also said luck had a lot to do with it.

Oh yes I was a fan back then. He did that tv series as a character on a houseboat & still had the cheeky charm then. I had no idea he was still performing. Now I shall have "hold me close dont let me go...oh no" buzzing round my head all day!

he made a mean Eddie Moon ...

I do remember him from the 70s - my best friend had huge posters of him and Donny Osmond on her bedroom wall (wow, takes me back LOL) I confess I wasn't a fan (of any group of individual) but when David Essex appeared in Eastenders the first time, I instantly recognised him from his eyes.

Ooohhh yes, loved David Essex. My school friend and I went to Torquay on our first holiday on our own after leaving school (1981 or 82) and he was playing in a theatre there which we managed to get tickets for. )like(
