Eddie Tenpole Tudor

about

Edward Tudor-Pole (born 6 December 1954) is an English musician, singer (as Eddie Tenpole), TV presenter, and actor. Tudor-Pole formed the band Tenpole Tudor in 1974, and eventually came to prominence after appearing in the film The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle as a possible replacement for Johnny Rotten in the Sex Pistols. He sang "Who Killed Bambi?", "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle" and a cover version of "Rock Around The Clock" in the film and on the soundtrack. Tenpole Tudor returned in 1980, signing to Stiff Records and releasing two successful albums, Eddie, Old Bob, Dick And Gary and Let the Four Winds Blow. They had three hit singles, one of them UK Top 10 hit "Swords Of A Thousand Men". His live acoustic shows tend to attract both aging punks and new fans attracted by his TV and film roles, and exhibit a mix of punk rock, country-western and pure rock 'n' roll. Each of his tunes pays tribute to a variety of stars. Standard punk anthems stand side by side with influences as diverse as Status Quo, Freddie Mercury, Tammy Wynette and Shakin' Stevens. Probably best known for being the presenter on The Crystal Maze, in which he replaced Richard O'Brien from 1993 until the show's demise in 1995, and appearances on Top of the Pops, Tudor-Pole has appeared in numerous films and plays. These include The Rocky Horror Show (written by his Crystal Maze predecessor), The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, Absolute Beginners, Drowning By Numbers, The Queen's Sister, White Hunter, Black
