Tony Jeffrey

Originally from Ireland, Tony Jeffrey arrived in New South Wales at the age of seven. He began singing in eisteddfods in Bathurst at nine, and at 16 made his first professional appearance in the Sydney clubs. In 1970 he represented Australia at the Eurovision Song Festival and joined the well-known entertainers 'WICKETY WAK' as lead singer in 1975.

Tony’s great voice provided many of the most ‘serious’ moments in the group’s performance, one of the most requested songs being 'Memories'.

When Wickety Wak retired in 1990 Tony hit the ground running. His love of the entertainment industry led to his purchase and management of Taylors Hotel in Mackay. Then in 1997 Tony moved to the Sunshine Coast where he managed the Water Front Hotel in Maroochydore.

For the past 12 months Tony has been dipping his toes back into the performance pool with the fantastic band, 'The GOOD ROCKIN' DADDYS'.
