Not
Forgotten Anne Shelton Tribute Show 31st July 2009
What a wonderful evening it was. I would like to thank all the
entertainers that put so much time and effort into the show that made it such a
big success, and also a big thank you to everyone that came to support us, and
to help make my dream to stage such a show in my late Aunt Anne’s memory
come true.
The orchestra of The New Squadronaires were fantastic, and I know that with
their music brought back many happy memories for many of the audience. Our
musical director Paul Davis worked so very hard to put the songs together for
the singers, and without him the show would not have been such a great success.
I would also like to thank Anne’s friend and opera singer Teresa Cahill, Clare
Cunliffe, Andrew Fleming, Mark Porter, Swingtime Sweethearts (Anne Riley and
Le’arna Ashleigh) Jacquie Toye, and Sheila Tracy for their valid contribution
to the show, and also to thank Liz Poulter and the Royal British Legion Standard
Bearers for being in attendance and giving such an uplifting patriotic ending to
the show.
The show was in aid of the charity ‘The Not Forgotten Association’ (www.nfassociation.org)
and I am so pleased that we raised just under £3000 for the charity.
Many thanks to you all for
your support
