IT is a celebration of sexy 1960s divas, sad 1960s squares and excellent songs from the swinging era.

This is the ultimate excuse to join in all the old favourites and relive the top tunes from many classic acts, including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Cilla, Lulu and Tom Jones.

There are almost 40 hits played, with some powerful performances by the versatile cast.

The talented Alison Carter performs an excellent version of You're My World, while Kirsty Roberts throws herself into her role with enthusiasm and bags of personality. Her renditions of the classics Shout and Think are particularly powerful.

The male members of the cast prove they are both vocally and musically talented.

Roy Jackson woos the ladies with his Elvis and Tom Jones hits, while Macca lookalike Darren Loveday and David Gray hit the guitars and Martyn Hope swaps instruments like there's no tomorrow.

The production looks semi-professional, with little set to speak of, although the costumes are typical of the era.

There's a very sketchy plot,which revolves mainly around ageing DJ Uncle Eric and Auntie Madge (played by the Lulu-esque Laurel Ford) and their dopey nephew (David Massey). He's the typical 60s square, who can't pull the girls but wins over the audience with his comedy dancing.

Most of the audience were singing and clapping and many got up to dance the night away.
