In late 1958 he joined Howey Casey and the Seniors as second singer (main singer was Derry Wilkie), when the group became the first 

from Liverpool to appear in Hamburg, Germany, booked for a season at the Kaiserkeller. They where let down finacially by the promoters resulting in the break up of the group. In 1962. Freddie joined the Midnighters replacing Gus Travis as lead singer, leading the group until 1964. During this period they released three records on the Decca label ‘Who Told You?’, ‘Baby Blue’ and Never Cry On Someone’s Shoulder’, all three failed to make the charts. Freddie left in 1965 and joined the Delmonts for a short period, appearing mainly in cabaret.
