Date
2 October 1974
Description
Full programme for entertainment show starring popular singer and entertainer Max Bygraves.
What's the story?
Max Bygraves was an incredibly popular singer, actor and entertainer on both television and stage.
The biography in the programme provides a neat summary of his life and career.
Growing up in the 1970s it was common for his Singalongamax albums to be part of your parent’s vinyl collection, next to the Jim Reeves and Mario Lanza.
Bygraves emigrated to Australia in 2005 and died in 2012, just six weeks short of his 90th birthday.
It is also worth noting that with this type of entertainment show, the Theatre Royal did not always present dramas, musicals and Pantomimes.
At this time in 1974, eight years before the Royal Concert Hall opened its doors, the Theatre Royal really was the only venue in Nottingham to present such a major TV star in concert.
