STARS BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS!

BARRY CRYER / JESS CONRAD / JIMMY CRICKET

 

 

In September, City Varieties Music Hall begins its Autumn season of The Good Old Days and it’s shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated of recent times.

Over three weekends, each Friday & Saturday is headlined by a hugely popular entertainer and the bill is rounded out with the cream of variety talent from comedians, jugglers, singers, magicians and illusionists… accompanied by The Good Old Days “Orchestra” and presented by your worthyChairman, Mr Johnny Dennis.

These live stage shows have now been held for over 25 years… almost as long as the original record-breaking BBC light entertainment show which ran from 1953 to 1983 and is being re-screened on BBC4 most Fridays.
