From the world of opera and the concert platform, Owen Brannigan , OBE
The distinguished basso recalls a lifetime of musical adventure-from his first recording as an unknown in Faust with Joan Hammond and Heddle Nash to the roles he has created in Benjamin Britten 's operas. The programme is interspersed with the good-humoured folk songs and ballads for which he is famous.
Violet and Gladys Bennett , who have been going to first nights for over 50 years, are still theatre-struck. Decked in splendid self-made finery, they are a distinct asset to London night-life. During the day they still work for a theatrical costumier.
In conversation with another enthusiast, ALAN MELVILLE , they remember their life backstage at the Windmill and parties they've been to; and they'll be playing original cast recordings of their favourite musicals dating back to 1918.
