Touch of Male Flavour Adds Spice to Fruitcake

DELICIOUS Newcastle showband FRUITCAKE has undergone a sex change, with the addition of male singer DARREN FEWINS to the until-recently all-female frontline.

The three-times MO AWARD-nominated vocalist has replaced KIM ZECHEL, stepping into the limelight alongside AMY VEE and MEL MCGREGOR. As well as his formidable singing ability, Fewins brings dancing, gymnastics and circus skills to the fray, promising a dynamic new stage presence.

On Sunday night Fruitcake will lead New Year's revellers into the year 2001 at the Hotel CBD, playing 'all the hottest hits from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and now'.

Fruitcake features guitarist and vocalist PHIL BELLAMY, bass player CHRIS LEE and drummer BRAD ELLIOT. TE
