I've been singing since I was about 6 years old.I gradually learned what music was all about,I grew up with the knowledge and started to listen to Elvis Presley,Gene Vincent,Buddy Holly,Eddie Cochran,Chuck Berry,BBKing,Muddy Waters and many more.My first stage appearance was in 1977,I was 17 at the time,my career started there and I've never looked back.My wife Yvonne and I first met in Birmingham in 1977 just before Elvis passed away.After moving to Yorkshire in 1980 I got a band together and Yvonne and I decided on the name of the band and we called ourselves Tony Quinn and The Panthers.We had a very good following, but unfortunately the band split up on New Years Eve in 1985 and I've been a solo artist in my own right ever since.In February 1985 Yvonne and I decided to come back to Birmingham,I am still doing my own thing and I'm still waiting for a lucky break LoL.
