The audience showed its appreciation of Friday night's show by giving Shakin Stevens (aka Rebel Dean) a standing ovation.
Hit after hit from the 80's as well as Shaky's life story was very much appreciated by an audience of around 230. It would have been difficult not to like Rebel's warm personality & energy throughout the show. "What a showman!" accompanied a photo sent to me this morning by someone who decided to come at the last moment & said they'd have been very sorry to have missed it. In the second half, Rebel, shook hands with many of the audience & distributed scarves with a touching moment of giving the last scarf to a lady who danced at the front for much of the show.
Towards the end, people .....(yes, some men too!) found it difficult to remain seated as they joined in with singing, hand clapping & dancing resulting in a Big Party Atmosphere. There was fulsome feedback from the retiring audience.
Thanks to Rotarians who helped with the lead up to Friday & to those who came with partners & friends. Your help & attendance DID make a difference, raising over £750 for charity. Thanks go to EPS, Wayne Morse and Magnum Sound, Phil Hughes for providing an excellent sound & lighting system at a very reasonable rate for Rotary. Lastly, it would not have been possible to organise, or stage, the event without Chris & Karina Ebsworth providing Folly Farm (& staff on the night) free of charge to Rotary.
