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
