Here's my photographic account of Live & Unrehearsed 2004, performed at the Theatre Royal, Brighton, in September. As usual, there were two performances and I was able to attend the 4pm (matinee) performance. I had a seat in one of the circles and pleasantly surprised to meet my friend George Holland who was sitting at the other end of the same circle.

These photographs are not displayed in the same order they were taken. I've spent ages resizing them and creating this page to try displaying them well.

On the left, a picture of the stalls. I tried not looking straight down too often - very scary! On the right is a picture of my circle. George Holland is sitting at the other end wearing a white t-shirt.

On the right, John, Ed and Sarah take to the stage for a version of "Call Our Bluff". If you have never heard the station's most popular quiz, then you are missing a real treat! See elsewhere on this website for details of the quiz.

A contraversial performance by Nigel Campbell! Why contraversial? Well, it's like this .... Bill Buckley was away on holiday during the Live & Unrehearsed weekend and could therefore not do his usual singing performances. Bill, as regular listeners will be aware, is a brilliant singer (one of the many strings to his bow). This meant there was a gap to be filled, so step in the talented Nigel Campbell. Nigel sang a couple of songs and the audience really thought he was very good but we all worried about Bill's reaction when the feedback reached his ears upon his return from holiday!

Bill was (of course) very good about it, being the professional he is! But he still took a lot of stick about being replaced as the station's talented star singer, especially from a certain Yorkshireman who presents "Drivetime"!!!

Picture left, Mark Carter had been working up to this moment ever since he learnt what he would be required to do in Live & Unrehearsed, will he be able to lift Kerry Aitkin off the floor? (I hasten to add these are his words, not mine!). They do a dance in the style of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Picture right, YES, SHE'S UP!

On the left here, Charlie's talking to a member of the audience. Look at his face, I wonder where his eyes have settled!! On the right, Dom and Kerry do a scene from a movie.

Left, Charlie and some volunteers up on stage including Chris Rolfe (far right of picture) who was in the front row of the audience. Chris is a regular guest of the station and normally appears on Mike Powell's Sunday afternoon show. He is also known as the "Genial Genealogist".

Pictured right, the chorus girls.

Pictured bottom left, several male members of the radio station doing a sailor song. Somewhere in there is Richard Reynolds who did a stint on the Mid-Morning Show before Tony Fisher started.

Well, the show is over and everyone returns to the stage for a final bow, after which a big sigh of relief comes from all the cast - many of whom make their way to the nearby pub to relax before the evening performance! I make my way out with the other members of the audience after chatting with George. I pass the pub on my way back to the car park and have a pleasant chat with Chris Rolfe who is one of the first to get there! I also meet Nigel Campbell outside the pub and compliment him on his performance and also suggest he could be in trouble from a certain Mr Buckley when he gets wind of how good Nigel's performance actually was!
