Billy Ocean chats to Phoenix FM

Headlining the Saturday Night at this years Brentwood Festival was the legend that is Billy Ocean.

Billy moved to Romford at the age of seven, and regularly sang in London pubs and Clubs in the early 70s, Billy took his stage name Ocean from the Ocean estate in Sepney in london’s East End where he was living at the time.

In 1976 he recorded his first Album ‘Billy Ocean’ with its first single release “Love really hurts without you” a song that charted No2 in the UK charts and a song that he belted out at the Brentwood Festival to the delight of the crowds.

Billy’s greatest success came in 1984 with the release of the album ‘Suddenly’ and its main single ‘Caribbean Queen’, and again in 1986 with the album ‘Love Zone’ with one of his biggest single releases ‘When the Going Gets Tought the Tough Get Going’.

Although we did not do a recorded interview I did get time to chat to Billy back stage and I asked him if he was excited to be at the Brentwood Festival

“I am glad you could all come to the party” he replied, on touring, and festivals he told me ” I am more passionate about music thane ever before, and blessed to be able to share my songs with the world and people of Brentwood”.

Billy’s ability to work the crowd was amazing and he put on one of the best sets of the festival weekend.
