Berni Flint

Berni Flint (born 26 May 1952, Southport, Lancashire, England) is a singer and songwriter who holds the record for the longest continuous run of wins on the ITV talent show "Opportunity Knocks". Viewers voted him the show's best act for 13 successive weeks in early 1977.

After being propelled to fame by the show, Flint enjoyed a degree of success for a number of years. In terms of record sales, the highpoint of his career was reached when his single "I Don't Want To Put A Hold On You" rose over six weeks to number three in the UK Singles Chart in the week ending 23 April 1977. Further success came in the form of another Top 40 hit, "Southern Comfort", and one gold and two silver selling albums. His single "Only Me" continues to receive current radio airplay.

Although no longer a commercial recording artist, Flint continues to perform regularly and is active on the 'after-dinner circuit'.
