Let The Good Times Roll

This fund raising concert showed what this company can do. This was a bright and varied programme of songs from musicals and musical film with favourites from musicals the likes of Cabaret, Sound of Music, and Oliver! and from the repertoires of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin. Delightful harmonies from the company in the opening numbers, and later, and plenty of rhythm throughout were a mark of the evening. Two comperes ably introduced the sections, the soloists and the links between them. Ross Nicol effortlessly reprised his role from White Christmas with Count Your Blessings and later delighted with On The Street Where You Live and This is the Moment. Chris Taylor showed her versatility in a variety of songs from I Hate Men to comedy in I Shall Scream with David McCabe and Almost There. David also sang a telling Empty Chairs from Les Miserables. Younger members Holly Taylor impressed with a sweet true voice in a magical When She Loved Me, while Holly Steel led I Got Rhythm and sang an excellent dramatization of Taylor The Latte Boy. Other soloists Jan, Cherry, Gill and Morag all lent their talents to the evening. Comedic moments such as The Sisters and the Altos were well received.  The audience could sing along to all the songs and many did. All was in the capable hands of director and pianist, Andrew Nicol. A most enjoyable evening was had by all.
