The Legend Show

Ellie opened the evening with her
tribute to the great Brenda Lee. It's a real treat having songs like
Dynamite and Speak To Me Pretty performed by Ellie wearing a satin 50's
swing skirt and white satin top. Lovely. She got the house swinging. Next
she sang Sweet Nothin's and Here Comes That Feeling, followed by All Alone
Am I and As Usual. Ellie couldn't finish the set without doing Let's Jump
the Broomstick and really did us proud, We had some great jivers in the
audience and they thrilled us with their moves right from the off. |

Mandy and Pete brought us a little
more up to date with their Carpenters Interpretations show. A Tribute to
Karen and Richard Carpenter. Two up tempo songs started the set. Please,
Mr Postman, followed by Sweet Sweet Smile. OK, now it's time to smooch a
little. Pete went on Keyboards and Mandy sang a medley of beautiful
ballads, Won't Last a Day, For All We Know, It's Gonna Take Some
Time and This Masquerade. Then time for everyone to sing along with Top of
the World, Jambalaya and Yesterday Once More. Mandy and Pete finished the
set with the song Sing, and everyone joined in with the la la la's. Which
look us into the break nicely. |

the Saints were not due to play until
the end of the evening but by popular demand they opened the second half
of the show. The Rock n Rollers came out and filled the dance floor and we
all let our hair down. The Saints were clearly well at home in the
Braza Club, everyone was ready to party the moment they set foot on the
stage. The Saints started with Stood Up ( they certainly made me dizzy
with their up and downs!!!) then Marie Marie and Way Down Yonder. and
ending the set with Just Like Eddie. Absolutely brilliant. |

Ellie came back for a second set, this
time as Connie Francis. She wore a lovely white Rock and roll 50's dress
with petticoats, really pretty. Starting with Everybody's Somebody's
Fool, we were then treated to Among My Souvenirs and Plenty Good Lovin'.
then hits Where the Boys Are and the fabulous Stupid Cupid. The songs just
kept coming, Carolina Moon and Who's Sorry Now and finally Ricky's
favourite song Lipstick on your Collar. |
| Pete was next to perform with the
wonderful rendition of Cliff Richard songs. Dressed in leather trousers
and a sparkly waistcoat He kept the show lively with Move It, Please Don't
Tease and Gee Whiz It's You. The Dancers on the floor continued to give it
everything they'd got. A little more up to date with Carrie and then
back to the sixties with Summer Holiday, I Love You and Livin' Doll, a
special thank you to those that joined in with Livin' Doll. Then came I
Could Easily Fall and Devil Woman, For the romantics Pete sang Miss You
Nights. He finished the set by teaching us to Hand Jive and finally The
Young Ones. Great as Always. |

| Next we were treated by Paul Neon and
the Saints with their Billy Fury tribute. Paul came on stage with a skin
tight silver suit on, very Billy Fury. A fabulous set followed. Cross My
Heart and Like I've Never Been Gone started the set, the I'd Never
Find Another You and Someday. Make Believe and Type A Letter followed,
then Baby Come On, finally Paul finished with - you've guessed it -
Halfway To Paradise. Well, he could miss it out could he. Absolutely
fabulous |
