Thank you to all those who travelled to this beautiful church just off the A52 in Mackworth for giving us such a lovely welcome.
Despite (apparently) being a touch flat on occasion (our excuse is that we couldn't hear the keyboard) we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was lovely that the delightful church steward commented on the fact that our fun and pleasure in what we do came across.
As always it was great to see the laughter ripple across the assembled audience when Pete whipped his truncheon out to top Mike and we trust that Liz's decision not to swear for a change didn't detract from the enjoyment of her song (I can do jolly well without you indeed!).
Mark and I smiled throughout 'Me and my Shadow' (love the song and the performance) and we all had a great night out.
So thank you to everyone in the company who came along, and thank you again to those who came out on a cold night to listen.

A burger with no bun
Last night saw the BMT committee down at the Fisherman's Rest in Belper for their monthly meeting. Such is the hard work undertaken by our two youngest members, that they were forced into ordering some food to sustain them through the discussions to be held. And they both decided to order the Burger and Chips option (I think it was more to do with anticipated cost effectiveness than being brought up on McDonalds!).
As a late arrival at the meeting, I was greeted by the two of them with places cleared in eager anticipation as, stomachs grumbling, they waited for their food to arrive.
All of us noticed the look of shock on their faces when the plates were delivered and the burgers were naked - cheese melted over the top but not a bread crumb to be seen! Taken aback but undeterred, the starving pair managed to quell their disappointment and finish the food on their plates (albeit with a slight pause when the inside of the burger looked just a trifle pink still) and a ramekin of tomato sauce was similarly licked clean. But both remained saddened that they didn't get the bun with their burgers.
So to anyone else who plans on offering burgers and chips for tea, please make it clear at the start whether a bread roll is to be provided as well so that you can stave off much un-needed disappointment!
Of course it would be unfitting if I didn't now find some way to link the naked burger to our work at BMT in delivering high quality musical productions somehow. So here's my attempt - please let me know what you think!
We offer you cracking entertainment at all of our musical productions whether it's the fantastic mid year concerts (Autumn one just finished), our big show (Copa Cabana February 2012 - advert just added to its own page) or the shows that our Juniors offer (Honk! on November 26th). But we also work hard to make sure that the whole experience will be satisfying!
From the moment that you call Andrea on 01332 882909 to order your tickets, through to being greeted at the door, buying your glass of wine from our front of house team, or being guided to your seat in the newly fitted Belper Theatre Hall, we want your experience to be non stop fun and just as expected. So if you've seen a way that we could improve, please let us know. You could always title your message 'Can I have bread with my burger please?'
