Grand Finale - Come to the Cabaret!!
Here we are again we reach the end of another Somerton Festival. We hope that you have had a wonderful time so far and that you will join us and enjoy a cabaret night to remember with three very enjoyable acts. During the evening we shall be announcing the winners of the various competitions and seeing who has won the prizes in the Festival Draw. It is also the time when the overworked committee can let their down, relax, and have the odd glass of shandy!!! to celebrate the end of all their hard work. The following are the three acts to enjoy in this Cabaret Night.
Simon Sands is our host for this cabaret evening - he is likeable cheeky comic with a laid-back style of humour. His work has covered cabaret, after dinner speaking, corporate events, cruises and numerous TV and film appearances. www.comedians.co.uk/sands.htm Sponsored by The Fox And Hounds.
El Loco When El Loco cajoles a patient from the waiting room into the "Dentist's Chair", the results are simply hilarious. A brand of comedy El Loco has made his own, the likes of which you will not have seen before combining the visual arts of comedy, mime and mad cap magic. www.elloco.co.uk Sponsored by A D Accountancy Group.
Bucks Fizz were one of the biggest bands of the early 1980's. Eurovision Song Contest winners with their sparkling performance of 'Making Your Mind Up' earned them an instant place in musical folklore, and an international number one hit. Bucks Fizz's string of hit singles and albums earned them many Gold and Silver discs, with songs such as 'If You Can't Stand The Heat', and the chart toppers 'Land Of Make Believe' and 'My Camera Never Lies'. They were winners of several public popularity and Music Industry Awards. There have been changes in the line-up of the band over the years but it is still with original member & lead singer Bobby G. Once again as the boys rip off the girls' skirts in 'Making Your Mind Up', audiences old and new will continue to appreciate the charm and vitality first displayed by Bucks Fizz over two decades ago... www.bucksfizzofficial.co.uk Sponsored by Somerton Windows Ltd
