' The Dixielanders'- comedians Billy Martin and Bobby Hooper - recently built themselves a new Music Hall near Newcastle upon Tyne. after almost 20 years playing the northern working men's club circuit. They play to full houses six nights a week although they are unknown south of Darlington. The programme looks into their place in the changing world of live entertainment, and asks whether we are witnessing a revival of the music hall. Producer IAN R. GARDHOUSE
