Jan Hunt (2)

It is over 60 years since the world-famous variety show The Good Old Days first aired on the BBC from Leeds’ City Varieties Music Hall. It was a huge success and ran for 30 years, with audiences dressing up in Victorian garb and having a good old-fashioned knees-up.

Big name stars such as Les Dawson, Barbara Windsor, Jimmy Tarbuck, Val Doonican and Barry Cryer helped the show put Leeds on the world map. The City Varieties still hosts The Good Old Days with top acts recreating the legendary Music Hall experience.

Fancy dress is wholeheartedly encouraged but by no means compulsory! A prize is given for the best costume

Jan Hunt is joined by Ross Tomlinson and Katie Milton, comedy act Peter John and magician John Styles.

The show includes The Music Hall Remembers, a commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the outbreak of The Great War and the 75th
Anniversary of WWII.
