Lulu
Lulu first performed at the Club fiesta when she was 16.
Neil Sedaka
Probably my favourite song writer that performed at the Fiesta. Whist the stars would oftern come to our house late at night whist I was in bed. I do remember Neil Sedaka turning up at our front door on Oxbridge lane, Stockton one Saturday morning when I was about 10.
Frankie Vaughn
Frankie would oftern bring his family to Stockton. His children were a similar age to my brother and me. I got a supprise when I saw him as the lead character in a Marilyn Munroe film.
Morecame and Wise
Morecame and Wise really were best of friends and did share hotel rooms. Unlike Mike and Bernie who always stayed at separate hotels. Only meeting up on stage.
Tommy Cooper
The big man Tommy could dring a bottle of Gin before going on stage.
Mike and Bernie Winters
Mike and Bernie Winters performed on the opening night in 1964.
Bob Monkhouse
Bob was a very clever kind and thoughtful man. We oftern recieved his hand drawn cartoon postcards from his Holidays.
Chris Lipthorpe
Cliff Richard
Cliff Richard was a regularly feature in the 60′s and 70′s usually with The Shadows. However one day he took ill and could not perform, but to honour his fans he made an extra special date to come back without the Shadows. (Recalled by Connie Smith)
Tony Christie
Tony Christie made his one and only live album from the Sheffield Fiesta.
