- Another piece of history from the archives.
In 1985 the then 3200 seat Edinburgh Playhouse, Scotland, hosted a Royal Gala Variety Performance as a fund-raising event for the 1986 Commonwealth Games.
The Hilsdon organ was tuned overnight before the performance, and is used to accompany Sarah Brightman and Paul Miles-Kingston during their duet of Lloyd Webber's Pie Jesu -1 hr 23 minutes in approx, and again during Hail Caledonia in the Finale

Juliette Prowse was a wonderful performer taken from us so young and what a nice man Terry Wogan was too
And Robert Goulet wow. Voices like his are so rare now.
What memories from the 80s this brings back. A golden decade when we were all young and carefree.
A truly wonderful experience to watch these Royal Variety shows. Epic!!!
I love Scotland with all the scenery Helen
Frank Carson, you beaut! Highlight of the entire show!
So much talent in one place great to see .once more
Amazing piece of entertainment history!
How lovely Thank you
I have just found this , it may have been in Scotland but the show was as always remembered by the performance from the lass from Tiger Bay , has Dame Shirley first song said there is a right way of doing it and a wrong way of doing it but nobody does it quite like Bassey.
1:19:57 This song was featured in the 2011 animated film The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
Frank Carson was certainly one of the very best stand ups. RIP.
1.23.46 Pie Jesu - initially organ solo to accompany
A few glimpses of the organ in the pit towards the finale with, I presume, Gordon Lucas at the console and showing him as Theatre Stage Manager in the final credits
Actually no - it was Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musical Director at the organ for the finale (name forgotten now).
And Larry McGuire was busy operating the lighting desk.
BoB monkhouse was on fire as normal

Amazing to see Kirk Douglas on stage.

Frank Carson , its the way he tells em , great comic. Brilliant Moari group, Rolf Harris and Sara Brightman duo.
