First night we have Britain’s most famous Women’s Institute member, Patricia Stewart the original ‘CALENDAR GIRL’ now made into a hit movie starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters. On the second night we present ‘LIFE AS A TILLER’ by Jackie Simmonds.

On the final night we present ‘MY LIFE ON BOARD THE QE2’ the last of the great liners. Mike James was musical director from 1981 until the mid-90’s on this world-famous ship.
