Contributed by Richard (Curtis)
BRIGHT AND BREEZY
Bright and breezy was performed at the Church House Wimborne on Wednesday 28th November.
Pam Flory opened the programme at the piano with a medley entitled “Nautical Moments” This was followed by Richard Curtis with “A few more lines” . Peter Taylor, the promising Youth Group visual comedian, proceeded to give a mime of “terrible toothache”
A guest turn by the Rudkin Jones School of Dancing which followed was a delightful performance, which showed the high standard of the school.
Star turn of the evening was Prof. Norman Trinkle who gave dialect impersonations of the natives of various Shires.
The Crazy Gang then showed us their idea of military discipline with another episode of the glorious brigade of Nit’s Terriers.
The second half of the show commenced with another scintillating display
by the Rudkin Jones School of Dancing.
Wacky Wizards with the Crazy gang brought the house down and the front
row took a personal interest in the result. (Wonder what that was? – Willy)
Alfred Portsmouth followed with his time-honoured Song Time and gave
good renderings of popular songs to the appreciative audience.
Pam Flory played By Request on her accordion and I was very interested
in the base (sic) notation played by this talented exponent of this difficult
instrument.
The Finale was an opera that has a certain place in Youth Group tradition.
Entitled “Trial by Judge” it was written, lyrics by Wimborne
Youth Group, music by the Old Masters. This merited the repetition of
the item which appeared in previous shows.
The Crazy gang who interrupted the compere, Richard Curtis, consisted
of Gerald Chappel, Alfred J. Portsmouth, Roy Dacombe, Peter Taylor, Peter
Coole and Nit.
Stage manager was B.P.Willis.
Producer, who takes the
credit for a very pleasant evening was Nit.
