SKIPTON choir Rock Up And Sing is hosting a fundraising night featuring comedian Freddie 'Parrot Face' Davies.

The much-comic, aka Samuel Tweet, will perform at the Black Horse pub in Skipton on November 12.

The choir promises an evening of laughter, nostalgia and showbusiness anecdotes.

In 1964, a single appearance on TV talent show Opportunity Knocks made Freddie famous overnight.

Spectacular success followed, with fans including Judy Garland, The Beatles and Cary Grant.

In the 1980s Freddie became a producer and a serious actor, appearing with the Royal Shakespeare Company and in cult film Funny Bones.

Freddie has finally written his autobiography, Funny Bones, revealing the tragedy behind his early days in Salford and a family secret that rocked his world.

The event is ticket-only. Tickets cost £25 and each one allows entry for two people, along with pie and pea supper and a signed copy of Freddie's autobiography.
