An Evening with Ivor Novello - A Brighton Premiere Photos: David Beard

In a unique musical and theatrical event a number of Brighton’s popular singers, musicians and performers brought to the stage their acclaimed show ‘An Evening with Ivor Novello’. The show took place in the award winning St Andrew’s, Waterloo Street on Sunday 16 August at 7.30 pm.
This fun show has been performed around the South of England but has never previously been staged in Brighton. The talented cast included Jason Pimblett, Samantha Howard, Gerry McCrudden and Dame Margot Hamilton,DBE, The Dowager Countess of Richborough. They were joined by a very fine chorus 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.’’
