Birthday bonanza

Published Monday 18 August 2008 at 17:20

I am seeking help for contacting those (or their estate representatives) who performed at A Talent to Amuse on December 16, 1969 at the Phoenix Theatre in the West End when some 200 people were involved in celebrating Noel Coward’s 70th birthday in a four-hour show.

Joyce Grenfell was one of the artists who performed at A Talent to Amuse on December 16, 1969 at the Phoenix Theatre

The Noel Coward Society is planning to release an archive CD with excerpts from the show that include John Gielgud, Lord Attenborough, Mark Wynter and Patricia Routledge.

Can you help us in tracking down representatives for the following artists (or their estates) who are: Irene Worth, Betty Hare, Joyce Grenfell, Stanley Holloway, Stella Moray, Cyril Ritchard, Jeremy Brett, June Bronhill and musicians: Bruce George, Ronnie Price, Tom Pinguey, Paul Hiley and Chick Lovell. If you are able to help, please email: johnknowles@noelcoward.net or ring 07515 356 067.
