I remember those shows, sitting with my parents when I lived at home. |

Well, Stan Stennett (Prince Stanley of Rhiwbeina) and Brucie would be up to being hosts of Sunday Night at the Hammersmith Apollo and the Multiracial Minstrel Show. Still both going strong in their mid-80's and still consummate professionals :-D :-D |

Every pier show had black & white minstrels in those days, and it just seemed to follow an old tradition. Ivor Emmanuel, Stan Stennett - were they all Welsh? Those were the days when we used to watch Mr Punch, an old man with a big nose bashing his wife to bits. ;-) |

I think I remember watching one of my favourites (Adam Faith) with my grandma. Not only did she not approve of light entertainment on the Lord's Day, she was horrified (on any day of the week) that he should wear a leather jacket. |

I remember watching when I was a child in the '60s ( allowed to stay up while my hair dried and dragging out every moment of the weekend before school :-) ). |
