P. J. Proby
​Patron

"I feel it awarding to be a patron to the Voice College, simply because it's such a wonderful idea
and I cannot think of one reason why I never thought of such an obvious plan myself!
It fulfils an age-old need that has been sadly overlooked for way too long. I may well need this
​idea myself one day, so what better time to start than now! Thank you all and Count me in!"

Yours sincerely,
P.J. Proby
”

P.J. Proby, then and now...

Picture
P.J. arrived in U.K. living rooms on 6 May 1964, when Paul McCartney introduced PJ. Proby to the world via satellite television in Jack Good’s special Around The Beatles.
​
PJ. made a giant impression and in no time his first UK single “Hold Me” climbed the charts to number 3. This hit was followed shortly by the next hits: “Together” and the unforgettable ballads “Somewhere” and “Maria”.
​
Although PJ’s hits were impressive, he was best known for his powerful live performances. PJ’s first show in the Albert Hall as a support act for Adam Faith, blew away the audience. The stage was rushed by screaming teenage girls. PJ. had to flee bleeding into a corrugated iron toilet, while fans ripped his ponytail and his hair out. After that night PJ. would be the main act while performing and touring. His tours took him all over the world: to Australia and New Zealand, Europe and South Africa.

No ordinary pop star, P.J. has long been considered to have one of the greatest voices the world has ever heard. His maverick style both on and off stage have earned him the reputation of "legend", and although that word is often used, in this case it is 100% justified!  For the full-length, extensive bio, please see:

P.J.'s website

He's also on Facebook

...and Twitter!
 There’s no stopping Rock Legend P.J. Proby as he will be taking to the road again in late 2018!  Check out his website for the dates.

​The P.J. Proby Achievement Award

Picture
From September 2016, as a direct result of P.J. Proby's kind patronage, we will be giving The P. J. Proby Achievement Award to the college's most outstanding student each year. 

The prize - a beautiful crystal paperweight - will go to The Voice College student who has not only passed their chosen course to the highest possible standards, but who has also displayed ability, dedication and aptitude above and beyond the norm.

In addition to the award itself, which we hope will be useful in the recipient's teaching studio for years to come, the recipient will also be entitled to a free place on a Voice College workshop of his or her choice in the year following receipt of the award.

At The Voice College we are absolutely thrilled to have P.J. as one of our Patrons. Principal Ria Keen has had the privilege of touring with P.J. many a time, and as someone who was brought up on his fearless and maverick vocals, she is a long-time fan. As a team, we're always very grateful to our Patrons for their support, as it allows us to enhance the learning of vocalists and teachers worldwide. Thank you P.J! You rock!
