That's right Malc, under his real name, and as a wedding singer - but I don't recall him actually singing.
If I remember correctly, his appearance in The Sopranos assisted Ady Croasdell in finally tracking him down and luring him to Cleethorpes (I think)
.
A fascinating , but lengthy, interview which reveals all of this is on Refosoul (The Dean Parrish Story). I love the bit where he reminisces of his first stage appearance at
a Northern gig........"Oh my God, they're all white!..........and they must have been thinking - Oh my God he's white!"
