Born in battersea in london, tony appeared in several musicals from an early age, after leaving school he joined a group called "stage 3", first as an assistant later appearing as one of the stars. The group appeared on stage in london in famous show venues in london including the royal vauxhall tavern.

He met his future partner of 30 plus years when john was a dj at one of the venues, the dog and fox in wimbledon.

Tony's first main character was gladys pugh from hi di hi, for which he received many awards. HzxcSis forte was interpreting old drag numbers in a new and exciting way. HzxcSe would never let anyone drink the champagne in eartha kitts champagne taste, but always drink it himself.he and john came to the island some 12 years ago and took over bar hollywood. Jim and kevin "buddies bar” welcomed them and created a show that put hollywood and buddies on the map. Jim "morag" and olive were sparring partners in the show together with buddy from hotel eugenia victoria plus occasional guests. One of the famous guests was massie trollette, "david raven" from brighton. After several years the shows were outlawed by the police as terrace entertainment was not allowed, so olive hung up her frocks except for other appearances at other venues around playa and occasional charity shows around london and the south of england. Olive was in rehearsal for a return at another venue when he died at the early age of 50. Although he performed many numbers champagne taste is the closest to the character of this very caring and well loved man.

We will miss him as will his partner john.
