MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO FREDDIE STARR
Pupils from St Winifred’s School paid a musical tribute to comedian Freddie Starr last Saturday with a special performance at St Mark’s Church Hall.
25 pupils from the school gained a standing ovation for their part in the homegrown production Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster. The musical forms one part of an ongoing project devoted to celebrating the giants of British comedy.
The pupils acted, sang and danced in the show about the life and work of the veteran Liverpudlian entertainer.
Rebecca Brampton-Ffitch, the school's creative director and author of the play, said: "I was very pleased indeed. The children really did breathe life into their subject.
"One might even say they had Starr quality!”
When asked which part of the performance he'd liked best, 8-year-old St Winifred’s pupil Sebastian Mowatt replied: “The bit where he dressed up as Hitler.”
