JESS & FRIENDS
Always a busy person Jess Conrad shares some recent pictures with other notable names taken at recent engagements.
Tommy Steele obviously more than happy to see his old pal Jess at the opening of his hit Christmas show Scrooge at The London Palladium. They have been firm friends since both pioneering British Rock & Roll as teen idols in the late fifties.
Rula Lenska, the flame haired actress and star of numerous television and screen roles who was once married to television star Dennis Waterman was escorted by Jess Conrad to the autumn event at Buckingham Palace in aid of the Not Forgotten charity which provides help and support to the veterans of the Second World War. The glamorous pair were there by Royal invitation.
Jess was delighted to be invited to Marty Wilde`s Rock And Roll Party tour, a real extravaganza which Marty himself starred in and directed and which included Eden Kane (Well I Ask Ya, Boys Cry, Forget Me Not) now a resident of Beverly Hills where he lives with his lovely wife Charlene who by the way just happens to be the sister of actress Stephanie Powers, and Joe Meek protege Mike Berry (Tribute To Buddy Holly, The Sunshine Of Your Smile) ."One of the best shows of its kind I`ve ever seen" says Jess.
X-Factor`s Ella Henderson pictured here with her sister Rose and sixties icon Jess Conrad who was asked to ecort them to the opening of the jukebox musical Dreamboats And Petticoats which is enjoying a return to London`s West End at the Wyndhams Theatre. Why would a young pop singer be accompanied by a star of an entirely different generation you may well ask? It appears the Miss Henderson is a keen enthusiast of the music and style of that great decade. And who knows more about those wonderful times than Jess?
