Monday, 10.45am - FORTY years in showbiz will be celebrated by Grantham-born actor and singer Douglas Gorin with his final music hall show at The Guildhall on Thursday, October 23.
Music Hall Memories will feature Douglas, who brought professional pantomime to Grantham, singing some of his favourite songs in his rich baritone voice.
Spanning four decades, his career has included a stint in the world famous Black and White Minstrel Show at the Victoria Palace, appearances in West End shows Jesus Christ Superstar and Babes in the Wood and performing with stars such as Edward Woodward, Les Dawson, Freddie Starr, Dana and Amanda Barrie.
