MAY I, through your columns, express extreme congratulations to all the artistes who appeared in the Keith Wells Variety Special at the Palace Theatre on Friday, June 7?

After an absence of 30 years from the Palace Theatre stage, Keith gave us an outstanding selection of songs, with superb backing from the professional musicians.

Also, a very special thanks to the supporting performers, namely Mandy Allen, Mel Harvey, The Fabulous Splitz Dancers and Jenny Wilkes from BBC WM, who compered the show.

Lastly, thanks again to Keith for letting me sing duets with him all those 30 years ago at the Palace Theatre.
