TONY
BARBER
The Salesman of
the Century...
Born in Oldham Lancs., England in 1940,Tony says he owes much of his
enthusiastic and driving personality to a loving Irish grandmother and a
whole street full of Aunties who kept the spirits high during the dark
years of World War 2.
The family came to Australia in 1947 and Anthony (as the rellies call him
)survived the Sisters of Mercy,the Christian Brothers and seven years
training to be a Royal Australian Naval Officer finally getting his foot
on the first rung of the ladder as a cadet announcer at 6GE Geraldton in
1961.
“The sisters of so-called mercy taught me to sing & dance, the brothers
taught me to bob & weave. The navy taught me to play rugby,” says
Tony explaining how he came to play rugger at Twickenham for the Navy.
By the end of 62’ he was Perth’s leading DJ as well as the star of the
Charles Hotel floor Show and two nights a week at the Lido Coral Room.
doing Johnny Mathis and Paul Anka impressions.Also starring in rep.
productions with the Scarborough players.
Through the mid sixties Tony pursued his dreams in Sydney via Hotel Talent
Quests, a regular gig as resident compere and vocalist at the legendary
Spellsons nitery in Pitt St. and a “day job” as an advertising executive.
He cast himself as the “Cambridge Whistler”, the central character in a TV
cigarette and came under national scrutiny.
The commercial caught the public imagination, and more importantly the eye
of Bruce Gyngell then directing the Network 7 “Revolution”. Gyngell
proposed Tony as Host for the Grundy daytime show “Temptation” and his
career really took off from there.
Prime time followed with “Great Temptation” , a Gold Logie,a series of
Gold Albums for R.C.A. and sell-out concerts all round the country.
Including the “Temptation” series “Family Feud” ,through to eleven years
with “Sale of the Century”, Tony estimates he’s hosted over 8,500
individual episodes of successful Grundy Games.
Tony’s own show 'Who am I', is a one man musical biography which he’s
played in over three hundred venues to over a quarter of a million
patrons. His recently published autobiography (Random House) of the same
name, made the best seller lists nationally in May 2000, and has been
critically acclaimed.
The demand for Tony’s services in the Corporate sector is constant and has
included long term associations with Westfield Corp. ,Hyundai, Diners
Club, Trafalgar Tours, and presently Renaissance Television and Primelife
Corporation.
He also works with Visy Industries, Australia's biggest manufacturer and
distributor of packaging and paper products, and for the Pratt family and
associated Charities and Companies as Entertainment co-ordinator and
Presenter.
