THE INCREDIBLE VOICE OF JOE LONGTHORNE WAS ADORED IN BLACKPOOL THEATRES FOR A GENERATION
Joe Longthorne (1957-2019) gets the top spot because he is the only artist to have a Blackpool theatre named after him
It's the theatre on the resort's North Pier and it was actually the venue of his first Blackpool summer season show, in 1987.
Joe, who came from Hull and settled in Blackpool, was unique in his ability to present a vocal act in the voices of stars as varied as Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey and Neil Diamond, to name but three.
For more than 30 years he played seasons and concerts at Blackpool's three main theatres - the Opera House, the Grand and the North Pier.
In 2007 he received the Variety Club's Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2012 the MBE in the Birthday Honours List.
Joe died in 2019 after a long battle with cancer.
