Entertainer

'You must have heard this many times before but gosh you're good. M.. and I were captivated and so wished we didn't have to leave before your encore'. (D.B.)


'Thank you for entertaining us so handsomely during the Civic Dinner last Friday, it was just the right touch and much appreciated.' (Mr. B. E.)

 

I entertain after dinner or for the whole evening.

 

My show 'Music Halls to Musicals' is a celebration of comedy & popular music, evoking memories of Flanders & Swann, Noel Coward and the heady days of steam radio and black and white television; a roller coaster ride of fun, intrigue and unashamed nostalgia.

 

Delving behind the façade of the industry surrounding it, the show tells some of the stories behind the stars, the songs and the shows. It traces live entertainment from music halls through variety to more recent musicals. Early adventures in sound recording lead to films, classic shows on radio & television, including their signature tunes & TV commercials.

 

Features include melodies that are not quite as original as they may seem & unforgettable classic comedy and popular songs, including original material.

 

If you would like to hear excerpts from the show, please let me know and I will be pleased to send you a copy of the CD.

 

I perform nationwide. Previous appearances have been particularly well received at select dinner parties and larger special events such as Rotary Clubs, Round Table, PROBUS, Golf and Bowls Clubs and hotels hosting leisure breaks.

 

'Your presentation was first class - very entertaining, extremely good fun and certainly thought provoking.' (Mrs. J. Bo.)


'We have received many comments of delight and appreciation, and, of course, requests for a return visit.' (Mrs. F. L.)
