- Another piece of history from the archives.
In 1985 the then 3200 seat Edinburgh Playhouse, Scotland, hosted a Royal Gala Variety Performance as a fund-raising event for the 1986 Commonwealth Games.
The Hilsdon organ was tuned overnight before the performance, and is used to accompany Sarah Brightman and Paul Miles-Kingston during their duet of Lloyd Webber's Pie Jesu -1 hr 23 minutes in approx, and again during Hail Caledonia in the Finale

Juliette Prowse was a wonderful performer taken from us so young and what a nice man Terry Wogan was too
And Robert Goulet wow. Voices like his are so rare now.
What memories from the 80s this brings back. A golden decade when we were all young and carefree.
I love Scotland with all the scenery Helen
Frank Carson, you beaut! Highlight of the entire show!
A truly wonderful experience to watch these Royal Variety shows. Epic!!!
Amazing piece of entertainment history!
So much talent in one place great to see .once more
How lovely Thank you
I have just found this , it may have been in Scotland but the show was as always remembered by the performance from the lass from Tiger Bay , has Dame Shirley first song said there is a right way of doing it and a wrong way of doing it but nobody does it quite like Bassey.
Frank Carson was certainly one of the very best stand ups. RIP.
Hi!
Could you upload the full 1985 royal variety PERFORMACE? (

BoB monkhouse was on fire as normal

Pipes and drums of the black watch royal highland regiment of Scotland 💂🏴
A few glimpses of the organ in the pit towards the finale with, I presume, Gordon Lucas at the console and showing him as Theatre Stage Manager in the final credits
Actually no - it was Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musical Director at the organ for the finale (name forgotten now).
And Larry McGuire was busy operating the lighting desk.
Amazing to see Kirk Douglas on stage.
Should have had george formby if he was alive still :)
Frank Carson , its the way he tells em , great comic. Brilliant Moari group, Rolf Harris and Sara Brightman duo.
Rolf? :O
