THANKS FOR THE MEMORY - A 100 Years of Music Hall with Duggie Chapman
Website Duggie Chapman
Details Actor, Comedian, Presenter and Producer is currently on tour with his one man show, Thanks For The Memory. Duggie started in films as a boy actor or 13 years of age, and appeared in the award winning film FUNNYBONES alongside Jerry Lewis, and Lee Evans. He recently co starred with Roy Hudd in the BBC film FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, which has also had great reviews in the USA.
Duggie invites you to sit back and enjoy the great days of yesteryear with his presentation, as he guides us through the mystical era of the Music Hall.
 
The Music Hall journey begins with some rare film clips from the foremost artistes of the day, the legendary Little Tich, with his Big Boots Dance, Charles Coborn of Two lovely Black Eyes fame, and Gus Elen “Half a pint of ale". It runs through to the heyday of   performances from Gracie Fields, George Formby, Bud Flanagan, Max Miller and Issy Bonn.
 
His programme gathers together incredible archive material, much of it never before seen, and narrated by Duggie who this year celebrates Fifty years in show business., and recently honoured in the Queens Birthday Honours with an MBE for his services to Light Entertainment and charities.
With some funny and some fantastic speciality acts, artistes who were never stars but were an essential part of Music Hall and Variety programmes.
 
The show is a wonderful trip down Memory Lane. Duggie’s love for music hall is evident in his excellent narration which he gives before each clip. These were the  times, the likes of which we will never see again, and performances by artists that would grace any stage in any age. For all those who wish to be cheered up in these sombre days, and that means most of us. Don’t miss this Two hours of sheer nostalgia.
 
You can book Duggie for arts centres, theatres and private functions.

Details

Launched in October 2008, the RETROSPECTIVE label is a partnership between Nimbus Records and veteran nostalgia specialist Ray Crick, who has the job of selecting the repertoire, compiling the programmes, sourcing the highest quality  transfers, and supplying biographies and informative notes for the booklets. “I am delighted to be involved with RETROSPECTIVE because it enables me to create CD programmes that bring alive the finest recordings by those wonderful  vintage entertainers of yesteryear, both popular and jazz, for people to enjoy today.”

New releases are added every month, delivering the very best in musical nostalgia from music hall to rock ‘n’ roll – and everything in between! We hope you will relish these classic recordings from the past. Packaged with an iconic  series design, and with booklets containing all the detailed information needed to enhance your pleasure, RETROSPECTIVE is a highly collectable range.

In 1989 Nimbus turned the opera world upside down when it launched the historic reissue series Prima Voce. Taking mint condition 78s they presented recordings made by the great singers between 1902 and 1958.

Adrian Farmer, Music Director for Nimbus, commented, "We decided right at the beginning to dedicate Prima Voce to Opera singers, which meant that a great many of the more popular performers were passed by. We now feel that the time is right to revisit the period and showcase some of the popular artists who made the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s the golden age of music."

The label launched in October with 25 releases including 2 CD sets by George Formby, Fred Astaire, Humphrey Lyttelton, Nat King Cole, Paul Robeson and Tony Martin, and single discs by Alma Cogan, André Previn, Eartha Kitt, Louis  Armstrong, Perez Prado and Sammy Davis Jr. The label will release ten discs per month covering both Nostalgia and Vintage Jazz.

The new label will be managed by veteran nostalgia specialist Ray Crick, who is tasked with sourcing the highest quality transfers, plus detailed biographies and informative notes for the booklets. "I am delighted to be involved with  RETROSPECTIVE because it gives me the chance to create CD programmes that will bring alive the finest recordings by those wonderful vintage entertainers of yesteryear, both popular and jazz, for people to enjoy here and now. The first 25  sets out our stall, with music stretching from the music hall to jug bands to rock ‘n’ roll! We anticipate that the entire project will total more than 400 releases, each with a smart series design, making for a highly collectable range."

RETROSPECTIVE is a joint venture between Wyastone Estate Limited and Retrospective Recordings Limited. All sets will be manufactured in the UK and the USA using the Nimbus disc and print 'on demand' production services and distributed  world-wide by Wyastone Estate Limited. The in-house production facility ensures that titles are never overstocked or out of stock and that we can respond immediately to market demand.
