Swing Moods 6/2/2012
The theatre had a very different `Monday night ambience` when `swing moods` came to town.
Just as we were all thinking how anything could ever even match the last presentation (Michael Portillo) this, musical outfit lifted our spirits(on a cold, miserable winter’s night) no end-I even noticed a bit of good humoured barracking from the audience as the very proficient male singer cheekily suggested to us that his musical director was a bit of a pl..ker!!
He invited us to sing along and clap-it really was quite refreshing, however, I must say, that I would not want this format on a regular basis.
With a tight big band sound, lots of musical `standards` from the male and female singers, this was yet another success story from our beloved `Arts and Lits` team` I listened somewhat disbelievingly as Sonia announced beforehand that the end of yet another season was nearly upon us-proving that when you really enjoy something, it ends far too soon!
