A stunning show tonight from Sue Hancock with something for everyone, starting her show with her signature tune, Sue played:

“Devil’s Gallop” followed by “My Funny Valentine”.

A tribute to Barry Manilow with “Could It Be Magic”, Coco-Cabana” and “I Write The Songs”.

Next - a novelty piece of music from 1953 entitled “ Little Red Monkey”.

Then a great version of the classic ‘As Time Goes By’ featuring the Cornet and strings.

Chiho Sunumoto’s “Blue Moon” adapted by Sue as her own interpretation, followed by ”Guaglioli”, music used in Guinness television adverts in the past.

Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York”, “My Way”, “Fly Me To The Moon” and “Something Stupid”.

A collection of wonderful Leonard Bernstein’s music from “West Side Story”.

Opening the second half of her performance, Sue played Rossini’s “Overture to the Barber of Seville”, followed by the truly magical sounds of theatre organ of “Tenderly”.

Quiz time! 4 melodies from past television series: “Sleepy Shores”, theme music from “Wish You Were Here”, “Jeanie” and “Thunderbird”.

Back to the 1950’s with Leroy Anderson’s “Plink, Plank, Plonk”, followed by an emotionally performed “Granada” and a lively march “Colonel Bogey”.

Latin American style set for “Brazil”, “Mambo Jambo” and “Spanish Gypsy Dance” and Tico Tico.

Songs from “My Fair Lady “ - “I Could Have Danced All Night”, “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face”, “Wouldn’t It Be Lovely”, “On The Street Where You Live” and “I’m Getting Married In The Morning”. For Sue’s encore, she played “Ritual Fire Dance”.

This was Sue’s first visit to Peterborough, she is a confident lady and a likeable person and came across well to our Members, the Technics GA3 sounded excellent and judging by the applause, many of us will be wanting to welcome her back.
