WELL-KNOWN baritone John Noblet, who this year celebrates half a century performing on stage, is the star at South Cliff Methodist Church's concert next Monday, 7.45pm.
John, 74, is a regular at the church – this is his 10th appearance. He says: "I quite enjoy the South Cliff concerts – there is always an appreciative audience."
For 20 years, he was a senior lecturer in music at what is now Hull University's Scarborough campus.
He gave his first public performance shortly after completing his studies at the Royal Manchester College of Music in 1958.
As a semi-professional, John became a familiar face on BBC TV in black-and-white days as a soloist and member of a backing group on a popular weekly programme, Dave Morris Club Night.
He also did a series of broadcasts for BBC Radio Nottingham in the 1960s.
John is still in demand for solos in musical works, cantatas and on the concert platform, singing songs from around the world, often in the original language.
On Monday he will be accompanied by Hugh Penny on piano and organ.
