They commenced with 'Day's Of Wine and Roses' and included lots of favourites, 'Angel Eyes', 'One Note Samba', 'Wave',  'Beyond The Sea', 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love', 'till There Was You' to name a few and ended with a medley of sing-a-longs 'White Cliffs Of Dover', 'I'll Be Seeing You' and 'We'll Meet Again'.
