Alfie Boe (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Alfred Giovanni Roncalli Boe, known professionally initially as Alf or Alfred Boe and now as Alfie Boe, (born September 29, 1973 in Blackpool, Lancashire) brought up in nearby Fleetwood, is an English tenor. Boe, the youngest in a family of 9 children, attended St Wulstan's and St Edmund's School and Cardinal Allen Roman Catholic High School in Fleetwood. His earliest musical memories were of listening to his father's Richard Tauber records and at the age of 11 he discovered Puccini's La boh me for the first time. Alfie's first public performance, aged 14, was at Fleetwood's Marine Hall in a "Songs from the Shows" presentation organised by inspirational local singing teacher Lottie Dawson. He states that although he only sang a couple of lines he was extremely nervous.
