Great review in the "Edinburgh Evening News" for BOBBY CRUSH in "LIBERACE, LIVE FROM HEAVEN" at the Edinburgh Festival.
"Bobby Crush is a dead ringer for Liberace. His accent and manner are so eerily spot on, one might be forgiven for believing in ghosts!"

4 star review in "The Times" for BOBBY CRUSH in "LIBERACE, LIVE FROM HEAVEN" at the Edinburgh Festival.
" ... floats on a pink fluffy cloud of outrageous camp that in the end is absolutely irresistable. That it triumphantly does so is a tribute to Crush, who has also been working hard on copying Liberace's speech patterns and stage manner, not to mention some nifty piano playing. By some strange showbiz alchemy, Crush seems to be able to channel the love. At the end, the audience has to vote on whether he stays or goes; there is no contest"

Thanks to everyone who has e-mailed congratulating Bobby on his recent appearance on the BBC's "Cash in the Celebrity Attic". He was thrilled to make £1855 for his chosen charity (Brinsworth House, the home for retired performers in West London) and even more pleased to learn that this figure was the highest raised by anyone this current series. We're hoping for a repeat of the programme soon and will let you know in due course.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM BOBBY
Hi there and welcome to my website!
In response to friends and fans from both the U.K. and abroad, this site has been created to keep you up to date with record releases and news of forthcoming events.
If you'd like to check on where I'll be appearing next, open the "DIARY" pages.

All of my albums and 45s are listed in "DISCOGRAPHY" and you can even hear clips from some of my recordings. On this page, you also have the chance to purchase some of my CDs online.
In addition, I've been wading through my personal photo albums and I've found pictures from when I was starting out, right up to the present day. These you'll find in "GALLERIES".
