That ‘Hoop Girl’, Vene Fiol, shows off her dazzling hula hoop skills. And just how does mind-boggling magician and mind reader, Cavan Booth, do that? You really won’t guess! Craig Shepherd presents The Fiddle and The Bow, a one-man show about Laurel and Hardy.
Music is provided by the fabulous Daisy Belles, who transport us back in time with their renditions of the classics, and Yorkshire choir, The Fairburn Singers, with their wide-ranging repertoire.
Your hosts will be Mike Read. and Noel Cronin BEM, who also present a live version of their hugely successful TV show, The Footage Detectives.
