Fred Wedlock

Fred Wedlock (May 23, 1942) is a Bristol born folk singer best known for his UK hit single The Oldest Swinger In Town.

He has however played the folk circuit for many years, both prior to and in the wake of his single chart success. He has also presented many programmes on West Country TV.

His albums include The Folker (1971) (notable for the title track parody of The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel), Frolicks (1973) Out of Wedlock (1978), The Oldest Swinger in Town (1981) and Fred Wedlock Live (1982).

Fred's daughter Hannah Wedlock[?] is now a member of the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra[?], another Bristol-based outfit, who Fred made his support band at an early stage of their career.

The stand at Bristol City F.C.'s Ashton Gate ground[?] is not however named after him, but after a former player, Billy Wedlock.
