Last footage of Freddie Garrity of Freddie and the Dreamers 

It`s people like Freddie that made the 60`s so special!

The world needs Freddie and the Dreamers right about now.

Freddie was a very much loved singer. Sadly, he was experiencing serious health problems at the time of this video interview. A great entertainer. RIP

Sad to see Freddie looking so ill,he never took himself seriously,and I think he would be happy if his epitaph was "He made us all laugh".Freddie and his Dreamers can proudly take their place in being part of what made the 60's so special.

Freddie Garrity was a top performer and had a terrific singing voice. When I was very young I remember him in a television show called Little Big Time.

A lovely guy and a legend, so missed.

Freddie seemed like such a sweet person. Rest in peace Freddie. 🙏

Freddie contributed a lot to the music industry; what a great sense of humour. RIP Freddie

One of the great groups of the 60’s,never to be forgotten.

Lovely man. He still had warmth and wit at the end. Bless him

Freddy what a lovely man you were.

Freddie Garrity....what a great memory of the British Invasion years. A really fun band with a charismatic leader.

On the one hand it is sad to see his illness. But on the other hand I always had a soft spot for his upbeat songs.

I can remember being at school and going to tameside theatre seeing Freddy and the dreamers in the 70s and all the front row where throwing toffees on stage but what a great performance he did he's very sadly missed and very underrated

Got to give Freddie credit you can tell how ill he was in this interview he had a drip feed in him and his hand shook all the time, but like a true performer , he still had a smile and joke , for everyone,

Something that made the 60's so special died when we lost Freddie.

I wish he were still here, so I could tell him how much I loved him.

We miss you Freddie

I'm from 1973, and my first cassette tape was a tape of the merseybeat bands, with Freddy and The Dreamers among them. Still like all of them.

He was always comical. Great band. I used to watch Little Big Time as a child. Very nice person.

I'll never forget the day I met him. A wonderful man.

Losing many of the Greats of the 60s RIP all.

We remember you, Freddie, with affection. RIP

I was around 5 years old when we all went as a family to see freddie in concert. It was all arranged by his dad who collected us in a coach when he worked with my mum at a company called Walkden & Makin. Great fond memories of this family.

Was in high school during the British Invasion-it was a magical time for music-great sounds and great bands-Freddie and the group was comical and didn't get their justdeserts-glad to see him here looking aged like a fine Gentleman as I-RIP-Paul was here-04-20-16.

Saw Freddie and the lads back in the 60's. One off act. Great entertainment. Great Spirit. RIP.

I am a hard rock drummer from Dallas Texas but even I can appreciate the fact that Freddy had a killer voice

I met Freddie a few times in the 70’s when I worked at the roundabout hotel in Fareham.

What a marvellous clip! He looks in fine form here, who would have thought he'd be gone in 2 more years. Live life while you can folks.

More talent and showmanship in his little finger than all of today's plastic manufactured mediocre lightweight acts put together! RIP Mr Garrity!.. the real deal!

That was a nice informal interview. Highly entertaining! Miss you Freddy.

My ma loved him, Freddie made people happy, God Bless him.

I was a fan since their first song here in america last song was about a mouse living in a windmill...do the Freddie...sad to hear of his passing only a year ago it seems my whole life is going away more n more. great memories and wish kids today had such magical feelings hearing this music as it was a good tme gauranteed for all...

I like Freddy. His happy music sometimes brings tears to my eyes.

Enjoyed, much too brief an interview with Freddie. Not the most memorable or biggest group or star, Freddie & The Dreamers were around and I’m confident that an interview of 45 minutes to an hour would had been interesting with his most pleasing story telling abilities. A most charming lad, indeed. The planet Earth is a less fun place without Freddie as an occupant. Once last thing I want to tell Freddie for the very last time, “I’M TELLING YOU NOW,” Freddie, to Rest In Peace, because YOU DID A GREAT JOB WHILST YOU WERE AMONG US! (pun fully intended)

I remember watching Freddie and the dreamers as a child

They were mostly a novelty in the US, more popular in England. He did have a great voice.

Freddie was a true character of the 60's scene, RIP chum...

My Gran used to babysit him when he was little

Supported Freddie and his dreamers on the Cilla Black tour in Australia in 64, we never thought the lights would go out.

RIP Freddie, as a child i remember seeing you on our little B&W TV and i loved the way you moved on stage doing the 'freddie'!...You always made me laugh - God bless you - :)

God bless you , Freddie!

Thank you so much for this viddy, I loved Freddy and his kids show was so camp and outrageous and so bad, that they were f*cking great. I always play a freddy song whenever I go to a 60s jam and the look of " oh yeah" on the other players faces is always a treasure. Cheers Freddy

Freddie even sounded good speaking, you can tell he was a good singer with that voice.

Freddie and the dreamers appeared in my local club in the sixties,The Baglan social club,in port Talbot. The building is now a community church today . Rip Freddie,and thanks for the memories and music.

This is absolutely delightful! Thank you for posting this.

What a lovely guy Freddie was. RIP

I was lucky enough to be a studio audience member for two editions of his 1973 Southern Television programme "Little Big Time ". Happy days

Met Freddie not long before he passed away, in the Midland pub in Manchester, run by the drummer bernie Dwyer! God bless Freddie mate!

The best clip of freddie and the dreamers is on youtube i think. Its the one from blue peter where hes singing you were made for me (i think) with the presenters - and petra - looking on. Funny, touching, and lovely.

Saw the guys on TPTV tonight on Sunday Night At The London Palladium. Great entertainment. R.I.P. Freddie.x.

Absolutely brilliant, Freddie was a Star "Freddie with the dreamers,etc they never needed any backing music, auto tune or anything,,, just like a lot of legends of yesteryear ,just instruments and microphone, audience,, absolutely brilliant, he was even a children's TV entertainer,, God bless' rest in peace

Truly great character- sing on Freddie! 💜

I really like this guy - he gave another slant on the 60's music that was his own. I didn't know he passed till i saw this clip[. Great days, -Great people and he was one of them. great quality voice too

I'm so sorry, I never even knew Freddie Garrity had died, and it came as quite a shock tonight. I'd almost forgotten how wonderful his jolly songs were, that's why I was looking for his songs to cheer me up tonighty. A truly great entertainer indeed. RIP Freddie...

Freddie was a great entertainer. I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid in the mid 60s.

One of the best and sadly missed, thanks Freddie for putting a smile on our faces RIP

He was a silly funny guy. That's a compliment.

RIP Freddie sadly missed

Went to see Freddy and the Dreamers in the 60s they were playing over Droylsden Co-op happy days

Freddie Garrity a brilliant.performer

There's a story that Freddie and the Dreamers were on a bill with the Beatles, and heard them rehearsing their set which included some covers. Freddie came on first and sang the covers, getting Lennon and McCartney to vow they'd write all their own songs from now on. If true, we owe Freddie a lot....RIP.

Good ole Freddie. I played at a gig with Freddie back in 1988 that was a night to remember.best wishes Freddie, RIP.

God bless him a million times!

I remember meeting Freddie on many occasions.. cos I used to pester Peter Vaughan (one of the Dreamers) as I lived on the same street as PVaughan - just a greaat guy and and as you saw in the clip.. fabulous sense of humour. Peter Behan of 29 Waincliffe Ave. CCH Manchester.

As a boy, I grew up in the 50s/60s (16 in 1963) and Freddie and the Dreamers were top stars. Their songs such as 'I'm telling you now' and 'You were made for me' are truly evocative of that great era just as much as the Beatles are. Sadly, from 1965 onwards I believe the whole scene went slightly downhill for everyone. God bless Freddie. Time took its toll on you like it does on us all but we will remember you always as that effervescent top talent of the 60s.

Great memories of a fantastic entertainer in every sense of the word.

Very sweet. I bet Freddie was a lot of fun to have a couple beers with.

Thank you for this wonderful post!!

Love you, Freddy Garrity! Thank you for the songs you sang! I still sing them to myself!

RIP Freddie Garrity from Freddie & The Dreamers. I’m telling you now!!

Thank you for posting, I saw Freddie and the New Dreamers at the Garden's Night Club in Yeovil in the 1980's. I hope you manage to interview Derek Quinn and some of the other remaining members? RIP Freddie.. you're never forgotten. Julian Bishop

Freddy had a great life I bet he would never have changed it for anything.

…..Freddy also had a lovely singing voice.

Nice to see Freddy in older age

Freddy the little Giant ... he may have been about 5 ft tall but he lived life as an 8 foot Giant ... He had singing talent and could make you laugh ❤️ the guy !!

Enjoyed it thanxs for the upload

Great interview

RIP Freddie...

I remember playing I'm telling you now in the band I was in what a great song. Freddie you gave great joy to music thank you, I never got Talk to you, but I know you were a great man keep singing in heaven RIP

Loved that man as I was growing up, rip freddie 😢

Great stuff...thanks for posting...

What a sweet darling guy Freddie was. I noticed the tremors in his right hand and the oxygen tubing in his other hand.It's possible Fred had emphysema. J.L., R.N.

My band performed I'm telling you now by Freddie and the dreamers for years and ive always been a fan of the group Freddie was such a cool guy

Freddy you were brilliant R.I.P. 🌹

He came to a party at my school in Wilmslow. Freddie and the Dreamers perfomed at a school near where I live now in Somerset.

Interestingly I last saw Freddie around 1985 at Butlins Bognor Regis. I struck me that he hadn't aged a day since I saw him as a kid in the early sixties. Old age gets us all in the end. RIP Freddie, you were a real nice bloke.

The '60s were great especially if you liked music. Such a broad playlist on AM radio. Freddie & the Dreamers were in the middle of the British Invasion. Hit records, T.V. And all of those people are leaving us. Part of life but still...

How nice 🙂 He was special and I love how he broke through the woman's composure and she laughed out loud haha... it almost took her back lol I laughed at the end... and we'll look forward to your sheet music!! My what music??? Haha Oh Sheet! Yes thank you 😁 🎶 You were made for me..... 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶

I loved Freddie and the Dreamers...they were part of the English invasion...thank God there was an english invasion..great songs!!!

Freddie had an adoring public & his songs were romantic, well constructed, & melodic.

Wow. I am an Everly Brothers fan and didn't expect Freddie to mention them as one of his first memories. "One smoked Everly and one drunk Everly." What a terrible way to be summed up and remembered.

Lovely memories. R.I.P., dear Freddie.

Was lucky to catch a show at the Mean Fiddler around 1991. The place was packed.

I come from near Freddie and he was playing live at Manchester bell vue it was a gig I still remember and I was only 4 Yrs old and I genuinely remember it to this day and I’m now 59.....RIP

I remember Freddie with great fondness. On a school trip many moons ago we went to see a panto 'Cinderella' . And he was co-starring with the lovely Dana (All kinds of everything) . I was so enchanted with them both. I wrote to Dana telling her how much I enjoyed the panto. And she wrote back ! A signed photo& details of her fan club. Very kind and sweet lady. God bless to both and rest in peace Freddie.

used to serve me and my mum in Timpson's shoe shop, Withington Manchester, UK. Don't remember it though.

Thank you

he looks so ill right here, his hand is trembling, you want those that give you so much to live forever

Excellent !
