Fyffe was born on 23 January 1942 in Stafford, Staffordshire.
Many of his immediate family had been active in musical theatre, but he initially trained as a hairdresser, and ran his own salon in Stafford before making a career on the stage. He was a regular star of local amateur productions, but a desire to turn professional took him to London. Played on stage as a sophisticated young lady with singing talent, the "Perri" character was sufficiently eye-catching to earn him some television slots, and Fyffe was asked to appear in character in a number of television series of the late 1960s, notably Z-Cars and the last programme of Doctor in the House Series 1 in 1969, when he appeared as a cabaret singer.
Fyffe died on 11 May 2002 in Wellington, Somerset from spinal cancer.
