Lord Young party

Wonderful to be part of Lord Young's birthday weekend!
As stalwarts of Chichester Festival Theatre, Lord and Lady Young also had Chichester celebrations too...

Many big noises from business, theatre and politics were there too - delighted to say that Michael Portillo was looking amused and happy during our singing!

After lunch was done & our solo set was over - a specially-created entertainment created by Simon Brett (words) & Christopher Summerfield (music) was given by us along with West End stars (and recently Chichester stars) Annette McLaughlin (shortly to join cast of Matilda) & Steve Elias.  The Noble Lord was terrifically delighted with having all these songs pastiched in his honour - including Maggie May (natch!), Don't go down to the Apple Store & Hey Dude - and clearly was happy to be the butt of some jokes... Wonderful to work with all these splendid people...

A lovely sunshine-filled (yes, that's right, sunshine-filled!) afternoon in the countryside...
Hooray!
