November 2007 production, "Outside Edge", by Richard Harris
The
November 2007 production was a roaring success with the biggest audience
attendances we can remember. The Derby Evening Telegraph also gave us an
excellent review. Well done to all concerned onstage, backstage, front of
house and of course the family and friends of QUADS who supported us by
turning out to fill the hall to capacity.
QUADS/TEQ Christmas Cabaret Night
Saturday 15th December 2007, Quarndon Village Hall, 7.30pm
This is a
joint event, run by QUADS and Team Events - Quarndon (TEQ) and will be a
"Good Old Days" music hall style show similar to the very popular event two
years ago. QUADS members and friends from Quarndon and beyond will be
performing turns, some musical, some comical with a pinch of drama thrown in
for good measure.
As far as
drink and food are concerned – bring your own of the former, and we’ll have
an “American Supper” for the latter – basically a bring and share buffet.
Look forward to seeing you there – book early to avoid disappointment!
Tickets are just £5 (tel David Dilks 01332 559642)
including a free raffle with prizes provided
by Team Events - Quarndon.
The Opera Dudes – “A Life of Organised Croon”
Friday 18th January 2008, Quarndon Village Hall, 8pm
This
sparky duo are from very different backgrounds: a posh former Cambridge
scholar who has teamed up with an ex-builder, both turned operatic tenors.
Tim Lole and Neil Allen combine their
musical and vocal pedigrees with great humour and
charm. As well as their terrific singing, the show
includes their life stories, funny tales, a few surprise
impersonations, a concert piano solo and a silly piano duet in the style of
Morecambe and Wise!
There's a great variety of music from Puccini to Elvis Presley and Dean
Martin via Rachmaninov and Donald Duck! A wonderful evening of "classical
cabaret" which will have you in stitches!
