Tony Berry sadly passed away on 13th June 2019 following a long illness.
Tony was a wonderfully talented, thoughtful and kind person who touched the lives and hearts of so many over a lifetime of dedication to show business.
Born in 1950, Tony always said that he couldn’t remember a day that he didn’t sing – usually to himself in the bathroom, walking to school or playing out. He loved the likes of Jim Reeves, Frank Sinatra and Al Jolson. Upon reaching his teens, he went to see The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem in Manchester which started his love affair with Folk Music and he continued to sing that type of music from then on.
Tony was a Founder Member of The Houghton Weavers and recorded over 30 albums with the band over a whopping 45 years!
Tony is very sadly missed but will remain in our hearts and thoughts always.
God Bless Tony, Rest in Peace.
