Saturday night’s show will be a treat for fans as she will be singing Burlington Bertie from Bow in her top hat and tails and encouraging her audience to join in with classics such as Down at the Old Bull and Bush, and Don’t Dilly Dally on the Way.

This year Fiona will be performing upstairs in the exotic location of Ollie Vees’ Tiki Lounge, which offers a licensed cocktail bar and will also be servicing teas and coffees during the evening.

Doors open at 8pm and Fiona will be presenting a programme in two 45-minute sets which promises to involve the audience and invoke memories of the popular TV show with lots of audience participation.

Tickets are priced at £10 each and are available by ringing Ollie Vees on 01525 851726. During the interval Fiona will be presenting one of her Music Hall CDs as a prize for the best Victorian/Edwardian costume, although dressing up is optional.
