Halfway To Paradise – the Billy Fury Story

All lip curling, smouldering sexiness, Billy Fury was the British Elvis and the most complete cool cat Rock ‘n’ Roller ever!
As Billy Fury’s band, we had dreamed of performing his hit songs and recapturing the memories of those times before his tragic death in 1983, whilst bringing the sound of a British musical icon to a new audience who perhaps cannot remember those heady days. Of course, no one could replace Billy, with his smouldering good looks and awesome stage presence, so it’s a dream that remained that for many years… just a dream.
Then, by chance, we saw a performance on television’s Stars In Their Eyes, by a young man called Colin Gold. We were immediately struck not only by Colin’s close physical resemblance to Billy, but also by his vocal quality. That combination prompted us to approach him with the seed of an idea. After several meetings and many rehearsals, that chance viewing of a TV appearance culminated in the finished production which is… Halfway to Paradise.
After 20 years… Fury’s Tornados perform again…
