* A NOSTALGIC wander down Memory Lane comes to The Platform in Morecambe this Tuesday (October 20) with Gerry Graham's production of The Good Old Days.

The show features the vocals from Miss Louise Franck, Mr Kenny Richards and Mr Neil Hurst, Vicky Lane and the comedy of Gerry Graham.
Take a trip on the river and visit the Showboat (memories of the great Jerome Kern musical), pay a visit to London and the seaside. There will also be a special tribute to Ivor Novello.
The show will start at 2pm and tickets cost £8, available from the box office on 01524 582803.
