Malcolm Roberts (singer)
Malcolm James Roberts (31 March 1944 – 7 February 2003) was an English actor, traditional pop singer and songwriter. With a career that spanned over four decades, he was best known for representing Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 and attempting to represent the United Kingdom in A Song for Europe in 1991.
Roberts enjoyed three hit singles on the UK singles chart from 1967 to 1969.
Malcolm James Roberts was born in Blackley, Manchester, England on 31 March 1944, as the younger child to James "Jim" Roberts and his wife, Doris (née Ogden). He had an elder sister, Jean "Jeannie" McLeod (née Roberts).
Roberts attended Crosslee Primary School and Moss House Secondary School. He passed the entrance exam and was enrolled at the Manchester School of Music and Drama in 1957, at the age of 13, where he studied opera and acting. He played the trumpet in the National Youth Orchestra. He became a member of the Blackley Brass Band. He first showed an interest in singing in primary school, when he would compete with another boy in assembly every morning to see who could sing the hymns the loudest.
Roberts worked a variety of jobs, including as a bouncer at some Soho clubs, selling ice creams, in a leather goods shop, and as the manager at a nightclub called The Zebra. While working as a bouncer in London, he was attacked and ended up at Charing Cross Hospital. He said: "I was beaten up, but I got four guys first."[citation needed]
Roberts started in the entertainment industry as an actor at the age of 13, in Showboat. He had a small role in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street. His work as Tony in the Ashton-Under-Line Operatic Society's production of West Side Story led to the role of Eric Dooley in the Lionel Bart musical Maggie May at the Adelphi Theatre in 1964, gaining his first public recognition.
Roberts played Boy in Play of the Week: The Rivals, which was broadcast on 17 May 1970.
Roberts later appeared in pantomime. He starred opposite Ronnie Corbett and Clodagh Rodgers in the 1971 production of Cinderella at the London Palladium. In 1982, he performed in Robinson Crusoe, this time in Eastbourne, and in 1984, he performed in Goldilocks and the Three Bears in Bournemouth. He also starred in a musical at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, based on the life of Joan of Arc, which run for several weeks.
