The good old days

9:00am Saturday 3rd May 2008


IF variety is the spice of life then visitors to an Old Tyme Music Hall, which is being held to boost the funds of a Bromsgrove church, are set for an entertaining evening.

With a choir, soloists, band and a whole lot more acts lined up, the event, at Catshill Methodist Church in Golden Cross Lane, promises to be a night to remember.

It is being organised by Gladys Hatton, with Miriam Bedford as musical director.

Gladys said: "Forget the TV, come along and enjoy a super night of live entertainment. Tickets are £5 on the door to include light refreshments. We hope to see you there, period dress is optional."

The curtain rises on Saturday, May 10, at 7pm.
