This is going to be a really fun afternoon !!John Reilly and Lewis Nitikman will be playing a few tunes, but the main event is to celebrate the launch of the long awaited autobiography, 'Crackerjack to Vegas' by the legend that is BERNIE CLIFTON !! Plus a bit of Yorkshire Tapas to kick it all off !!
What took him so long? Growing up in wartime St.Helens (where a bomb missed his head by a few yards), Bernie began his career as a teenage singer with a local dance band. This was the first step on the long and winding road that took him to a Royal Variety Show where he reduced our late Queen to tears of laughter and then, after many years of touring, to a standing ovation in Las Vegas.
Bernie takes us along on his hilarious journey, explaining how he failed as a plumber but made it to Beijing as a trombonist. We read about his exploits piloting his ‘Flying Ostrich’ microlight (without a licence) and keeping fit with the odd London marathon… on the back of an ostrich! “Bernie is so funny he should come with a health warning” Su Pollard
“Buckle-up readers; you’re in for a treat!” Jimmy Cricket
“He is, in one word, a ‘genius’” Joe Pasquale
