October 1993 - Old Tyme Music Hall Pictures This original show was intended to be a one off. However, it was very well received by the village, the cast thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it made some money for the church. The theme for the first half of the show was 'the church and the village leading up to a wedding' and the second half was a general 'music hall'. |
|
July 1996 - Old Tyme Music Hall Pictures Brought back by the popularity of the previous show. This one had a 'fairground' theme in the first half and a 'seaside' theme in the second half. |
|
March 1999 - "The Bells of St Mary's" - Old Tyme Music Hall This show was put on to raise money specifically towards getting the church bells ringing for the millennium. It was general music hall but with the "bells" theme running through. |
|
October 2000 - "Memories Are Made of This" - Revue A very special show to celebrate the millennium. This covered each decade from 1900 to 2000. |
|
October 2001 - Old Tyme Music Hall - Pangbourne Royal British Legion We were approached by the British Legion to do a show for them following their annual dinner. They had been let down by the group who usually did entertainment for them. It was the 80th anniversary year for the Legion. The theme was the First and Second World War Years. We produced a special programme which was auctioned during the evening for British Legion funds. |
|
November 2001 - Old Tyme Music Hall - Purley Horticultural Society We were asked at very short notice if we could help them out as they had been let down at the last moment. We largely did the same show as for the British Legion but with the addition of some numbers with a horticultural theme. |
