Notes: I was asked, along with 4 other musicians from Oldham if we'd like to play in this production. I was a FT music student at the time and in the summer holidays so the income (as well as the experience) was of great value to me. There was quite a large and well know cast, so perhaps if you come into contact with any of them they may be able to give you more info. The play itself was a humorous take-off of Nikolai Gogol's "The Government Inspector" - if I remember correctly, and was transplanted into a hotel set in Leeds. As such, the hotel orchestra consisted of 5 brass band instruments and we played on the stage, mimicking a kind of grotesque Palm Court Orchestra, but with Northern working class overtones. I played the Euphonium and at one point in the play I had a kind of obbligato to play - getting out of my chair, walking around the stage and interacting with Philip Lowrie who played one of the starring roles. (Newly married to Gaye Soper's character). Other names I remember are Barbara Mullaney (now Knox), a guy called Pitt (or Pip) Wilkinson, Vicky Ireland, Gaye Soper, Peter Dudley, Jonty Miller, of course as mentioned, Phillip Lowrie and quite a few more whose names sadly escape me now. 1 was an established actor called Paul ??Robinson?? and another was called Martyn ??? - I think he played in one of the Mr Bean episodes. The music was written specially for the production by Derek Broadbent. My first recollection is of meeting with Henry Livings and Derek Broadbent and the other musicians in a pub in Delph (probably Henry's local) to discuss the details. The play ran for 3 weeks in (I think) July 1971 and there was some talk of it going on to the West End, but it never happened. The other brass players names I remember are: Bob Taylor - Cornet; John Mansfield - Cornet; George Gibson - Tenor Horn; Ron Ibbotson - Trombone & myself, John Sullivan - Euphonium. We were billed as the "Ron Ibbotson Five" though we didn't exist as such outside the play. I still have (somewhere) one of the photos of us that was displayed outside the Theatre! I was so proud to see our picture there & the whole summer was a really wonderful experience!
