One of Britain's most prolific roots singer/songwriters, affectionately known as 'Froggie'. His concerts are sold out across the country and abroad, his followers arrive at the shows clutching their frogs with green scarves waving, certainly a sight to behold. Froggie writes and sings his own songs mesmerising his audience, making them laugh with one of his many stories or cry with emotion with a song that touches the heart like no other. An evening with Raymond Froggatt is pure magic, an evening not to be missed!
