GOLDEN
YEARS OF VARIETY
This show was a celebration
of RONNIE RONALDE'S 80th birthday, and toured
thirty venues around Britain in the spring of
2003. It was Ronnie's first British tour since
the 1970s and a rare treat for his British fans
as he now lives 'Down Under'.
Ronnie was one of the world's
biggest stars in the 1950s and having found fame
and fortune on the variety stage, it was only
fitting that the show should take the form of a
traditional variety bill. Comedy impressionist
Steve Barclay, multi-instrumentalist Andy
Eastwood, personality vocalist Siobhan Phillips,
star ventriloquist Ken Wood and singer/compere
Tony Leyton paid tribute to great stars of the
past before Ronnie topped off the show with a
selection of his legendary hits, such as In
A Monastery Garden, If
I Were A Blackbird and Bells
Across A Meadow.
