2009 arrives...
A very Happy New Year to the small but select band who visit my page from time to time! Global Warming will come and go, but a come-back for some old-fashioned Good Times would be welcome.

Yesterday I was just a squire to LisaGansky and Ethandune, today I am Editor for Alleyn Mysteries, Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime, Cadfael, and Brideshead Revisited, to boot. Missribs was like greased lightning in getting someone to look at my outstanding subs. Thank you, missribs.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all!
Looking forward to 2006, I should say TV.com is getting better all the time. I wonder where it will all end?

Recent Reviews
Fascinating Aida is a cabaret group more or less led by Dilly Keane since 1983. Most of the songs over the years have been written by a partnership of Dilly and Adèle Anderson. The group has a slightly floating membership...
After a music course at Trinity College, Dublin, in the 1970s, Dillie came to London for acting training at LAMDA. Together with Marilyn Cutts and Lizzie Richardson, she created Fascinating Aïda as a cabaret group in a wine bar in West End Lane, London, in March, 1983.
From the beginning, the songs were clever and funny - a feminine hybrid of Tom Lehrer, Lotte Lenya, Gilbert and Sullivan, Monty Python, and Madonna. In 1989, Fascinating Aïda went into hibernation for a while, but the group was re-formed in 1994. Occasionally, it mounts a farewell tour, but somehow none of them to date has proved to be truly terminal.
The albums of Fascinating Aida (all available on CD) are:
Sweet F.A. (1985)
A Load of Old Sequins (1987)
Live At The Lyric (1994)
It, Wit, Don't Give a Shit Girls (1997)
Barefaced Chic (1999)
One Last Flutter (2003)
Absolutely Fascinating (2004)
The miscellaneous ladies of Fascinating Aida over the years are -
Dillie Keane (March 1983 - present)
Adèle Anderson (1987 - present)
Liza Pulman (present)
Marilyn Cutts (March 1983 - March 1986)
Lizzie Richardson (March - October 1983)
Glenda Smith (October - December 1983)
Denise Wharmby (August 1986 - April 1989)
Issy van Randwyck (March 1994 - July 1999)
Charlotte Nytzen (February 2000)
The group's current pianist is Russell Churney.
