About Me
Hi I’m Johnny Victory a singer, dancer, actor, entertainer specialising in period music and entertainment from the early 1900s to the 1960s. I provide high energy shows to entertain your audience. I come with full PA and stage dressings for some events. I am an Equity registered performer and come with full Liability insurance and provide the full and courteous service you would expect from a professional.
BioGraphy
I have been performing since a child, when I staged pantomimes under the stairs. Like many performers I have appeared in school and Local theatre productions, ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas to Classic and modern musical theatre.
I studied Classical Singing in Nottingham and undertook Theatre Studies. I also took tuition in Tap-Dancing from a friend who was a dancer in the West-end shows.
I also have been involved in a number of major feature films, my favourite being ‘The Duchess’ with Keira Knightley. The 18th century costumes we had to wear were amazing and the Stately Home locations were spellbinding.
Vintage Passion
I have always had a passion for period music and the purchase of my first wind up gramophone at 18 further inspired my love of it. Something you might not know: I restore antique furniture and can renovate gramophones, phonographs and vintage radios. Another string to my bow…..
See the Genres page to see the types of music I perform…..
Vintage Fashion
I have a full wardrobe of original period costumes, in fact I have 3! Wherever possible I try to wear them to give authenticity to what I do. Due to their age its not always possible to use them for every event, but if you want a specific look, just let me know.
Charges/Fees
As I am centrally based to the Country, in Derbyshire, I am in reasonable distance to travel to many events. Contact me directly to give you a quote for your event. Quotes are based on distance, duration and size of event. Ask me, I’m always happy to negotiate. If you book me for a number of events I will give discounts too.
Events
Whatever your event, music is always the perfect focus to make it go with a swing. Please don’t think your occasion is too small or too large, I have performed for all sorts of events, such as: Care Homes, Private parties, Birthdays, anniversary parties, re-enactment weekends, museum events, squadron dinners, W.I meetings, School workshops, corporate events, films, weddings, music videos etc.
School Session
I can provide a 1940s workshop for Ks1 and KS2 groups. Consisting of a dance/song and air raid element, I invoke the feelings and experiences of the time to engage children with this important period in history.
Film TV Model
I am available for Film Extra, TV walk-on and model photoshoots.
