Famous Salopians - Part One

Isobel ‘Izzy’ Cooper

Much Wenlock-born opera soprano singer Isobel ‘Izzy’ Cooper has enjoyed a series of hit releases since her debut CD Libera Me in 1998.

Reaching the top spot in Classic FM’s classical music chart with two of her CD’s, Izzy also shot to number one in the UK dance chart in 2004 when her voice was featured on the hit Now We Are Free, a remix of the theme song from the film Gladiator.

    Max Brown was also in ‘Mistresses’ on BBC1 most recently and has a film with David Suchet in post production.

    Pete Postlethwaite is well placed as 1st in the Shropshire celeb list.
    This is a man that at the start of his hugely demanding solo stageplay Scaramouche Jones amazingly found time to assist in a project to discourage people from buying stolen property because most that do directly fund drug abuse.
    He flatly refused to take a penny piece for his time and his parting words to me as he left from a days filming for the project were ‘lets just hope in our hearts that we can bring an end to this awful problem. If a bargain is too good to be true then that’s probably exactly what it is.’ A great man, a great dad & a great big heart.

    Star - just because she is showing much of her chest from above does not make her hot. You must be about 13.

    Im actualy alot older than 13, just because i comment on the attractiveness of a woman, doesnt make mean its becasue of the fact shes showing cleavage …. infact its something i hadnt noticed … her eyes are gorgeous, your the one that drew attention to her clevage ….

    Ian Hunter, aside from Mott the Hoople fame sang a sad song about unrequited love entitled “Irene Wilde” in which he recalls the old (and much missed) Barker Street bus station.

    Not a lot of people know what!
