Brendan Healy was an entertainer from North East England. Beginning as a musician (on keyboards and occasional trombone), he worked in television, becoming an actor, theatre writer and producer, and, later, a comedian.[1]
He played keyboards on the children's television series Razzamatazz, and toured as a musician with several acts,[2] including John Miles and Goldie and folk rock group Lindisfarne in the 1990s.[3][4] He also wrote television signature music for Tyne Tees Television.[1]
As an actor, Healy has appeared in several television programmes, including the Catherine Cookson adaptation, The Black Velvet Gown, Badger, Boon, Spender, and Quayside. As a supporter of Sunderland, his character Andy antagonised Newcastle-supporter Oz in an episode of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.[5]
Healy then embarked upon a career as a stand-up comic.[3] He released a solo-DVD, Tall Stories, in 2005, recorded at The Customs House, South Shields.[6] As part of his Little Theatre Tour, he played several venues in the North East in 2012.[1]
He produces the annual pantomime at the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle, usually also writing and performing in the show.[1][7] He has written a musical with Brian Johnson, from rock band AC/DC, with a script by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, called Face of a Woman, based on Helen of Troy.[1]
Healy has performed at all of the Sunday for Sammy concerts, established to support new talent in North East England.[1][2]
Brendan passed away on the evening of Thursday 18th February 2016, following a long and brave battle with cancer.[8]
