Singer-songwriter, Mike Batt, and all-round entertainer, Bernie Clifton, top the bill this March in The Good Old Days at City Varieties Music Hall.
Best known as the founding member of The Wombles – Britain’s biggest selling singles group of 1975 – Batt is a singer-songwriter, arranger, record producer, director, conductor and author, working across a wide range of art-forms and genres.
As well as being a talented singer, Bernie Clifton is probably most famous for his outrageous props… The Nun, The Diving Suit, The Biscuit Tins, The Cat on his Back, and of course The Ostrich; his unique style has taken him around the world in a career spanning 60 years.
Countless TV appearances, summer seasons, pantos and several Royal Variety Performances have cemented his place as a true comedy ‘legend’.
