A swinging fundraiser

 

HOME

On Sunday 10th February there was a superb evening of musical entertainment at the Quays Theatre, Lowry Centre in Manchester. Bobby Kemp put on a show that had the audience swinging along with the Tony Greenwood Big Band sound. The fundraising event was organised to support saving the beautiful Grade 2 listed Theatre Royal in Hyde.

Sailors Beware Tent members were in the audience. Grand Sheik Graeme Green went onstage with his Sheikess Lesley, to present a cheque for £250, just before a magical rendition of Honolulu Baby that Bobby had commissioned especially for the show. It was superb to hear the big band accompaniment with Bobby playing a ukulele and sporting a bowler loaned by Grand Loco Geoffrey Green for the night. It was certainly the highlight of the evening for the Sons.
