Bournemouth Winter Gardens Theatre – George Formby – 1957
An original variety show programme from the Winter Gardens Theatre, Bournemouth, dated 12 August 1957, starring George Formby. The bill also includes Josephine Anne, Mike and Bernie Winters, Ted Rogers and Benson Dulay.
Formby, with his ukulele and cheeky songs, had been Britain’s top box office film star of the late 1930s and remained a huge live draw.
With future television favourites on the same bill, this is a lovely piece of seaside theatre memorabilia.
