Old time Hyde Heath


Step back in time to the good old days when men wore drape jackets, drainpipe trousers and sported long whiskers (we don’t mean Teddy Boys), and ladies dressed in gowns and fanned themselves continuously – even when it wasn’t hot. When theatre announcers introduced shows with tongue-twisting sentences like “… the sublime, the stupendous, the subtle, the sartorial, the scintillating, the sinuous, the slightly sinful, the superfluous, the sonorous, the shimmering, striking talents of …” etc.etc.
The age of the Music Hall will be brought back to life at Hyde Heath Village Hall on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 November when Hyde Heath Music Hall Society together with the Rotary Clubs of Great Missenden and Amersham, presents ‘The Good Old Days’. Though not quite the Leeds City Varieties, from where the TV programme ‘The Good Old Days’ ran for 30 years, nevertheless Hyde Heath Village Hall will do its best to recreate the atmosphere of a Victorian-Edwardian music hall.
Shows start at 7.30 for 8pm, tickets at £15 include fish & chips supper and can be obtained from Alan Jones, Tel: 01494 863887 E-mail: alaj77@hotmail.com.
