When I found it amongst my Dad's old video's I thought it was important to at least have it saved somewhere. I remember recording it using my Dad's old JVC Video Movie camera and I thought it was lost to time. So it was brilliant to find it still existed.

I think it was 1986. The recording I have is not dated, but doing a google search for it I see an article in the Belper News that mentions being performed... Hello Dolly Rolls-Royce Amateur Operatic Society is to present “Hello Dolly’ at Derby Playhouse from July 14. 19. David Court will again be musical director and Rosalyn Roberts the choreographer. Returning after a year's rest is producer Phil Beeson ... Published: Thursday 10 April 1986 Newspaper: Belper News County: Derbyshire, England Type: Advertisement | Words: 69 | Page: 18 | Tags: none

@@NeilWorton Thank you!!!

So Malcolm who won it is my Dad. I was in the audience with my Mum (I was 11). Winning this prize is what got me started on a my career path into computers.

The company was associated with the Rolls Royce in Derby (aero engine division) via their social society (like the football/cricket/ruby clubs). The shows they performed were put on for a week at Derby playhouse each year. They had large budgets, but they had to make profit to survive (RR did not foot the bill). Anyway the society closed, I think it was in the early 2000's, they just weren't getting the audiences. This show was one that was re-vamped and had some new musics and lyrics written by a pair of gentlemen (Phil and Andrew) who were known to the company. I must admit I have never seen it performed since. Hope this info is of help.
