BiographyBorn in Crumpsall, Manchester, the eldest son of Frederick Garrity and Elsie Clynes, Freddie worked as a milkman while playing in local skiffle groups: the Red Sox, the John Norman Four and, finally, the Kingfishers, who became Freddie and the Dreamers in 1959.[2] In the early years of the band, Garrity's official birth-date was given as 14 November 1940 to make him appear younger and, therefore, more appealing to the youth market who bought the majority of records sold in the UK.[3][4] Garrity's trademark was his comic dancing (see the Freddie) and his habit of leaping up and down during performances. This, combined with his almost skeletal appearance and horn-rimmed glasses, made him an eccentric figure in the UK pop scene of the early 1960s. {{Quote box |width=25em |quoted=true |bgcolor=#FFFFF0 |salign=center |quote=The Dreamers and I have always been daft.

Collectively, we're no glamour boys.|source=Freddie Garrity{{sfnp|Tobler|1992|p=125}}}}Freddie and the Dreamers disbanded in the late 1960s and, between 1968 and 1973, Garrity and his former bandmate Peter Birrell appeared in the ITV children’s television show Little Big Time.[5] Garrity made a solo appearance on the first episode of the Granada Television production The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club singing "Try a Little Kindness" and "Good Morning Starshine", broadcast on 13 April 1974;[6] in the Dear John sitcom, he appeared as himself for one episode in both the British original in 1987[7] and the American version in 1989 (episode: The Return of Ricky S01, E11 (first broadcast: 19 January 1989));[8] in 1990 he appeared in the final episode of Rowland Rivron's comedy show Set of Six;[9] and, in 1993, he appeared in an episode of Heartbeat as a DJ, who played a Freddie and the Dreamers record, "I'm Telling You Now".[10]After his television career ended, Garrity formed a new version of Freddie and the Dreamers and toured regularly for the next two decades, but no further records or chart success came their way. He continued to perform until 2001, when he was diagnosed with emphysema after collapsing during a flight, thus forcing him into retirement.[3][11] DeathWith his health in decline, Garrity settled in a bungalow aptly called "Dreamers End" in Moreton Avenue, in Newcastle-under-Lyme He was married three times and had one child from his first marriage, Jackie, and three from his second marriage, Nicola, Danielle and Matthew. He died at Bangor in North Wales, at the age of 69, after being taken ill while on holiday.[3][11] Garrity was cremated at the Carmountside Crematorium in Abbey Hulton, Stoke-on-Trent, where his ashes are interred.
