The Galleries

The performers pictured in the Galleries include both the "Well known" and the " Not so well known", the one thing that they all have in common is the enjoyment that they have given me (for which I would like to thank them!). If any one pictured objects to me using a photo of them please Email me and I will remove any reference to them from my site.

Please note the images on this site have been scanned at a low resolution and therefore do not reflect the true quality of the original photographs and are not suitable for reproduction. For further information please contact me Roger Liptrot
