Recently they took off their black make-up, but kept most of their faces hidden behind masks. Now, In tonight's programme, George Mitchell's world-famous singers will be appearing bare-faced on your screen.
Music, Music, Music, as the title of the series suggests, is forty-five spectacular minutes packed with non-stop song and dance in the style they have made their own. The series will feature, as ever, John Boulter, Dai Francis, and Tony Mercer, who are all delighted to have the chance of appearing as nature made them.
'Life's much easier for us without the blacking-up,' said Tony Mercer. 'Although it's been a blessing in some ways. We've been able to go out for a quiet evening without anyone ever recognising us!'
'It used to take days to get it completely off,' added Dai Francis. But they aren't throwing those tins of dark make-up away. They will need them again next autumn when the new series of Minstrel shows begins.
Costumes will be as spectacular and lavish as ever, only this time girls won't be having it all their own way. 'We can't get away with putting the boys in blazers and flannels any more,' says George Inns, creator of Music, Music, Music and the Minstrel shows. 'They've got to have glamorous costumes, too.' Margaret Savage, Penny Jewkes, Delia Wicks, and the rest of the Television Toppers will all be there, of course, to add the feminine touch and they are joined by a newcomer, Pauline Whitaker, a very pretty brunette soprano.
