Biography
Scott Fitzgerald sets fire to the Pop Charts on occasion. His single 'lf I Had Words", a song he sang with Dutch singer Yvonne Keeley and the St. Thomas More School Choir, went to No. 1 in Europe and No. 3 in the UK. During his career he's worked with Sergio Mendez, Kate Bush, Gerry Rafferty and Roger Daltrey. He now lives in Holland and is well establised in the European pop music scene, appearing regularly in clubs and on television in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
Daughter of showbiz-star Bruce Forsyth, Julie is fast forging her own path in the music scene with several gold and silver albums to her credit. She has worked with Frank Sinatra, Freddie Starr and Victor Borge. Two years ago she formed the duo Grant & Forsyth with her husband Dominic Grant. Until then both had been member of the highly successful group Guys 'n' Dolls (A Song For Europe 1979). Apart from songwriting, Julie has ambitions to be an actress. Grant & Forsyth will be backing Scott on stage tonight.
Ronnie Hazlehurst is one of Britain's best known musicians. He is a much respected composer and arranger of all kinds of music for records, radio, films, television and theatre. Musicians everywhere have a high regard for his talent and professionalism. [Notes from the Official 1988 Programme by RTÉ]
