    I think Tony Mortimer in his East 17 days was a tremendous talent, and some of East 17's records were pure 'pop music' at its very best !!

    Tony Mortimer was my biggest love and dream from my 11-17 years old🧚‍♀️. So I still respect him veryyyy much! East 17 is my favorite group ever and i know all song of this group by heart.

    I'm from Germany and I'm still a fan of East 17. It's a shame that the formation with Brian Harvey and Tony Mortimer no longer exists. I still have the albums Walthamstow, Steam, Up all Night &Around the World(The Journey so far) and still enjoy listening to them.

    Tony is looking much better here than on that documentary a few years back. It's sad that the other 3 basically ended up skint while he's living in a mansion on the basis that he wrote the songs but they all worked together. At least he could have sorted them out with a few quid...especially Brian who we know has had some problems.

      @Kadaf1 6 лет назад +9

      Tony deserves more money but it doesn’t seem fair Bryan is living in poverty . Tony wrote the songs but was foolish to think he could just kick talent like Bryan out of East 17 and then continue to be successful. Fans don’t like change especially when losing the main singer , Bryan was just as important to the groups success.

    Yeah tony may have wrote songs. But Brian sang them. No matter what, if i was i Tony. I woulda sorted them out ,due to the fact that it should be the right thing to do. I really hope brian gets what he deserves.which is to be heard loud and clear .and compensated.Tereasa May should atleast meet with him. I guess its us the public who have to help brian. Cause it dont seem to be a concern frm his Ex band m8s. I mean if any of us sold 22 million,Records .we would want some recognition.maybe Tony was the old managers favourite boy then ? .either way. He should do the right thing.

    I don't know how Tony Mortimer sleeps at night, the other three guys have no money to show for their time as East 17, yes Tony wrote the songs but the band of those four guys was the vehicle for them to be recorded and performed, Stay Another Day would be nothing without Brian singing it.

    East 17 were the boy band it was 'alright' to like in '93. Then a year or two later it was paisley shirts and Beatle haircuts. Still, I have a great amount of respect for Tony, who was genuinely a gifted songwriter. He's respected in the UK music industry, but never got his due in the media for being a real artist. If Noel Gallagher had written and sang Stay Another Day instead of the cheesy boyband, no one would shut up about what genius it was.

    Brian could learn something here - notice Tony never ever wanting to slag Brian off even when prompted to. He assigned blame to himself, with a smile.
    At this point it had been 16 solid years of Brian ragging on Tonys music in the media and then saying Tony was a bastard since 2006
