Here's a magical musical memory. Fred's played the folk circuit for many years,
both prior to, and in the wake of, his single chart success. He hasalso presented
many programmes on UK West Country TV.
Fred Wedlocks's albums include The Folker (1971) (notable for the title track
parody of "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel), Frolicks (1973), Out of
Wedlock (1978), The Oldest Swinger in Town (1981) and Fred Wedlock Live
(1982).
Wedlock's daughter, Hannah Wedlock, is now a member of the Pigsty Hill
Light Orchestra, another Bristol-based outfit, whom Fred made his support
band at an early stage of their career.
A bit of football trivia......Fred Wedlock's grandfather Billy Wedlock captained
Bristol City F.C. and was a regular for England in the early 20th century.
The Wedlock stand at Ashton Gate is named in his honour.
He lived in Timsbury, Somerset.
