Escape from it all this Friday – into the technicolour world of the legendary MGM musicals. The young British conductor John Wilson loves this music, so much so that MGM itself has hired him to restore some of these fabulous movies to their former glory. Tonight he shares his passion, with a night of sheer tuneful indulgance from the golden age of the Hollywood musical. Star vocalists Kim Criswell and Gary Williams join Wilson and the band for a show that features such hits as Singin’ In The Rain, Ten Cents A Dance, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Get Happy, Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man, You Were Meant For Me, The Heather On The Hill – and, of course, That’s Entertainment. Go on, spoil yourself!
