An Evening with Ivor Novello
Some of Brighton’s most popular singers and musicians are to perform their acclaimed show ‘An Evening with Ivor Novello’ to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the CCT (Churches Conservation Trust). The trust supports redundant churches such as the show's venue, St Andrew's.This entertaining show has been performed around the south of England but has never previously been staged in Brighton. The cast will include Jason Pimblett, Samantha Howard, Gerry McCrudden and Dame Margot Hamilton, DBE, The Dowager Countess of Richborough. They will be joined by a choral ensemble.
Dame Margot, who despite her advancing years, still has many happy and vivid memories of Ivor Novello said:
"I learned everything I know from dear dear Ivor. I rather fell in love with him but for many reasons our love was not to be. What can I say - a girlish infatuation. This show is a tribute to him from those who loved him well.’’
An Evening with Ivor Novello, St Andrew's Church, Waterloo St, Hove, Sun August 16 at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £8 and are available from the Dome Box Office on 01273 709 709, The Iron Duke, The Aquarium Theatre Bar and on the door.
