  View this email in your browser THANK YOU... Arias & Antiques - Tim Wonnacott Thank you to the HUGE TV personality, and friend of Clonter, Tim Wonnacott, who so generously donated his time and energy to coming to give so much JOY to the Clonter audience last Thursday. Thank you also to all the stalwart and life-long friends of Clonter, who so kindly organised this event to contribute to Clonter’s 50th appeal. And to all those that donated local cheese, 'Anne's' homemade chutney, brownies, and the wine (Thank you, Tim), not forgetting 'Ros's' homemade elderflower cordial. It was identified by Clonter’s General Manager, in her introduction to Tim Wonnacott and the event, that included top and tailing by 2 singers and a pianist – more of that later – and the hearty ploughman’s lunch that was to follow, that everything about this event was symbolic – in her view – as to why and how Clonter had managed to survive so long, reaching this amazing milestone.

                                           HERE YOU COME AGAIN The new musical comedy featuring the hits of Dolly Parton Until Saturday 2 nd  November THE LOWRY, SALFORD If, like me, you are a huge Dolly Parton fan, I urge you to see Here You Come Again at The Lowry this week. I was lucky enough to see Dolly herself when she came north on her last solo visit - a long time ago - and was impressed by her unique stage presence. Within minutes she had the audience under her spell.   But what would a show about her music be without the star? I had my reservations. For the first time ever, all Dolly Parton’s  biggest hits are brought together in  Here You Come Again,  a joyful new musical comedy,  granted permission by Dolly herself. Well all I can say is Tricia Paoluccio did Dolly proud. Not only as a look-a-like but an incredible sound-a-lik...
