Pennsif - The Early Years - The Palace of Varieties 1967

This 'Old Time Music Hall' event was at my primary school.

I believe it was another fundraiser for the swimming pool.

It was organised by, and starred, the parents and the teachers - including the headmaster who was very keen on music if I recall.

I so wish I knew what songs were being sung...

Hours must have been spent rehearsing all the numbers, and I suspect a fair bit of time was spent on the costumes too.

Catch those great flowery hats the women were wearing.

Looks like The Clarions, from the school fete, were here too - two accordians and the female singer.

Beer seemed to be the preferred drink - half pints for the ladies!

Some faces I recognise, many I don't.

Real people doing real things in a different era.

I wonder how their lives panned out. I wonder how many are still alive.

Just another little piece of the time travel of my life...
