Charles will be talking about working with some of the most famous names in show business.  Charles started life by being trained in ballet dancing and in what was a varied career was involved in musical theatre, running a restaurant, composing music and scriptwriting.  He started at the BBC as a tea maker and at one stage was a stand in tenor during Jonathan Miller’s BBC production of Cosi Fan Tutti.  And those names he worked with?  Paul McCartney, Margot Fonteyn, Dave Allen, Bob Monkhouse, Take That, Victor Borge and the Bee Gees (among others).   Needless to say his talk will be fascinating.   Miss it at your peril.
