Pavonotti aka Jeff Woods entertained Spalding U3A members at their November meeting.
He entitled his talk ‘It’s All My Mother’s Fault’ and spoke about her love of singing to the radio that was on all day.
Jeff loved to sing and following university had some voice training after seeing an advert for singing lessons in the Manchester Evening News.
After starting out as a baritone he switched to singing tenor.
One thing led to another, and his agent booked him to sing ‘as Pavarotti’ for parties, business functions and the like which was very successful.
With darkened hair and eyebrows, he was a convincing lookalike and thus Jeff Woods became ‘Pavonotti’.
A U3A spokesman said: “Members greatly enjoyed an except from Figaro and the meeting ended of course with Nessun Dorma from the opera Turandot.
“It was a highly entertaining afternoon – thank you Pavonotti.”
Spalding and District U3A is open to anyone no longer in full time employment and meets on the first Thursday of the month in Surfleet Village Hall from 1.30pm.
Visitors are welcome to attend.
