A very warm welcome to you, to this special edition of Collections and Collectors.
Now this is a program which interests everyone, because everyone's got a hoarding instinct, so they're interested in everything.
And today, we've got two special people with us.
We've got Barry Hawkins, who's been selling things locally here as an auctioneer for many years,
and his family goes back to 1850, I think, in the auctioneering business.
And on my right, we've got Margaret, who runs the Castle Antiques shop, and she's got a great experience in things.
Now, as a very special visitor today, we've got Freddy Garaty, of Freddy and the Dreamers.
Now, when I was coming in just now, I heard screams in the courtyard, and there was Freddy with his fans,
getting very excited, and with a young woman giving him a kiss.
A great welcome to you, Freddy, and tell us what you collect.
I collect sheet music, or I should say, to put it correctly, I collect
My wife collects sheet music, old memorabilia, silver discs, everything that has anything to do with Freddy and the Dreamers.
Write-ups, the whole lot, the whole caboodle.
Gosh, that's interesting.
It must be a fascinating thing, because of course, in your day, [Bb] you were back [Eb]
[N] with
Tell me something about your memories.
Well, not only the Beatles, I met other people, like
You've heard of the Everly Brothers?
Oh, yes, indeed.
One smoked Everly, and one drank Everly.
I know.
That's nice.
Another thing that's always fascinated me, Dreamers.
Why Freddy and the Dreamers?
Well, believe it or not, I was a brush salesman, and I was selling brushes in the area where I lived.
And the band were rehearsing in this council flat, and it became quite well known within the area.
We were looking for a name for the group, as I was selling brushes to the ladies just across the road.
She says, have you found a name for the group yet?
So I says, no, not yet.
She says, oh, you're a right lot of Dreamers.
That's good.
We thought that was rather good, actually, Dreamers, and of course, it became Freddy and the Dreamers.
Oh, I see.
That's great.
Now, before we came in, I asked Freddy what would he like me to ask.
And he said one of the things he said to me was, ask me about sex.
So, Freddy, about sex.
Or seven.
Or seven.
Very good.
Well done.
I asked for that.
Now, Margaret has got one or two things she wants to ask you, because she's looked you up on the internet, I think.
Well, we've just been having a little talk about it, haven't we?
Yes.
Really?
Well, actually, that was my fault.
Oh, now you tell me.
Yeah, what happened, when I was 26, I said I was 21, right?
Because all the bands were around the 20 [G]-21 mark.
So I thought, well, I don't want to be an old man with her, and I looked 21 at the most.
You still do look 21, Freddy.
Of course I do.
Of course.
I've got some glasses.
[N] And I thought, well, OK, I'm 21, so you've got 21 there now.
Well, you've got the right age now.
26.
What is his date of birth, Margaret?
Do you really want to know?
Yes, we want to know.
14th of November, 1936.
That's my age.
And he was born in Manchester.
He's still a youngster.
Really.
That's right.
We all know his name.
And you were born Freddy?
Yes, actually, my real name's Rocky Flame.
Rocky Flame?
That's my name.
And, of course, the interesting bit that I heard Margaret telling us was that you were famous for dropping your trousers.
Well, that's why I was asking about it.
I was famous for dropping my trousers and doing a song called Short Shorts.
It was the most requested song in the act.
Now, whether it was my legs, I don't know.
Or whether it was the feather duster, I don't know.
I used to drop my trousers, dance around, and I'd jump into the audience with a feather duster, chasing the girls around.
And then I got a hit record, and all of a sudden, I jumped in the audience, and instead of the girls running away, they ran on top of me.
And the next minute, all you could see was me.
I've had a high voice ever since.
But, of course, everyone remembers you with your great leap in the air.
That's right.
And how did you manage that?
Because you almost looked as though you were suspended in the air.
How did you do that?
I don't know.
It just came naturally.
You've just got that spring in you.
Well, I was always good for a jump.
But I don't know whether you've got anything you'd like to ask Freddie Barry.
No, just memories.
That's all I have of you, Freddie.
You know, listening to the records and that sort of thing.
It's lovely to see you in such jovial mood.
Thank you.
I wish I was as sprightly as you.
Well, I'm not sprightly anymore.
Because we're not too far a distance in age.
And I'm pleased to say that Freddie's last appearance,
his last professional appearance, was in Downham Market here.
And he came here to open his room at the Collector's World
and he did a performance in the evening in Downham Market.
So it's great news to have him back and to see him looking so well.
Thank you very much for coming along, Freddie.
And we wish you many more happy years of memories and collecting.
And we hope you'll come and show us your sheet music another time.
Thank you, Eric.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Thanks, Pat.
