As Arlene will know, the Free Trade Hall has been superseded by the incomparable Bridgewater Hall just round the corner - a vast improvement.

London has its Royal Festival Hall. Manchester, on the other hand eschews such patronage and is proud of its Free Trade Hall , or rather, was - it’s now a hotel, I fear.

It was filmed at Pinewood ……and was a backbreaking two days of my Life…

Not least because the charms of Mr Scott & Miss Phillips …compleatly escaped me !!
