About Me

The Fabulous Fezheads are the Country's Premier Sand Dance Vaudevillian Illusionists, carrying on in the tradition of Old ‘Blind Ned’ Cleggett, and his Famous Stage Act of the 1930’s, The Amazing ‘Flying’ Cleggetts.Starring his Great Grandson Pete the ‘Flying’ Cleggett, the Fabulous Fezheads were actually founded in 1991 as the result of a chance encounter between Adonis Kebab, El Turnipo, Phil the Hun and Pete the ‘Flying’ Cleggett while performing at the Brighton Arts Festival.Listening to tales and stories of Pete’s amazing family's Music Hall Act, with the Sand Dance and Ned’s Spectacular Stunts they were inspired to form a new act to include the Sand Dance and adopt The Fezheads name
