Gang Show

We're calling the 1969 Nelson "Gang-Show" champagne entertainment. The many hundreds who saw the show will know why. It bubbled, it fizzed and sparkled and it was alive with interest throughout. If this was a typical Scouts' "Gang Show" then we're looking forward to seeing the next. Well done, everyone—from the littlest Scout, to the off-key "four-little-fellows-what's-doin'-their-bit" and the orchestra "what also did their bit." First-class family entertainment!

De old black and white minstrel show.

Those who wanted to know the best way of failing a medical got all their tips from watching Arthur Whitehead baffle Drs John Hawkes, Jeff Hill and Russell Robinson.

And when the boys sang, they Sang!

Terry Brewerton in tears as he contemplates the boards he carries.

These four little fellows, etc., quite stole the show. They are Bill Day, Russell Carter, Alan Bennie and John van der Hoeven, and they really did their bit.

The success of the show was due in no small measure to Mr Jim Radcliffe and his orchestra.

Could we call David Dornan and Michael Grigg the forces of good and evil?

There was bally little ballyhoo about this bally belly ballet featuring producer Arch Barclay and company.
