IT was lovely to see the recent letters in Hear All Sides regarding the fantastic show Strictly Musicals by Darlington Operatic Society.

I agree with everything Maureen Golightly said (HAS, Jan 27).

I have seen many shows in my 82 years and Strictly Musicals takes some beating. Director Joanne Hand, the whole cast, musical director Michael Trotter, the fabulous orchestra, and everyone behind the scenes worked so hard to produce a first class show.

Can I also say that being made to feel so welcome by the Mayor and Mayoress of Darlington made it one of the most memorable evenings I can remember for a long time.
