Old Time Music Hall 2000 1Musical Director: Debra Warner
Hosted by Mr Gary Bates

The programme will feature some modem material. but much will be traditional. A large part of the fun will be in the audience joining in the singing of well known songs and dressing up for the occasion. There will be a prize for the best costume. The MC promises he will introduce an evening of effervescent and excellent entertainment comprising music, monologues and melodrama, with much additional alliteration and verbosity. Or in short a jolly good night out.
