12yr old Katrina Lin (a pupil of Jessica Chen) entertained on piano accordion with 'Mumbo Jumbo' and the 'Sabre Dance'. Well done Katrina and another star in the making!

Thus ended the first half. Thank you all.
Carol Littlejohn then entertained with a Mother's Day selection including 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls' and 'You Are The Sunshine of My Life'. Then followed a Rhumba bracket of 'The Fool On The Hill', 'Arrivederci Roma' and 'Til There Was You'. A Tango bracket of 'A Kiss of Fire' and 'Blue Tango'. Other's included 'You Don't bring Me Flowers' (straight piano), 'You Light Up My Life', 'Can I have this Dance' and 'Vincent'. In true Carol Style was a blues bracket, the highlight of the afternoon for me. The weather was not forgotten with a 'Singing In The Rain' medley. Now into overtime there was no reprieve and Carol concluded with a Showtime medley from 'My Fair Lady' and 'Puppet on a String'. Thank you for coming all that way Carol to entertain us so brilliantly.
