It is Barbara who has organised Sunday’s concert, which when the curtain goes up at 7.30 pm will also feature renowned folk duo Trouble at’ Mill and the much sought after Paul Scholey, who performs as Elvis. Barbara and entertainer Carl Gordon will co-compere.

Tickets for the show are £10 each, inclusive of parking, which normally costs £3. They are available from the Playhouse Theatre’s website via its events page and also, by calling Barbara on 07402 600222.

Barbara said: “It’s a great bill featuring very popular acts. I hope former patients, work colleagues and anyone who enjoys a good laugh and great music will support it as all the proceeds are for Rosemere Cancer Foundation.”
