Margate Moves: Making marvellous musical memories
Take along your own hamper of festive fare and liquid refreshments for an evening of jazz, pop and instrumental numbers with a few Christmas carols as well.
FOR more than 30 years Margate Retirement Village residents have been privileged on the entertainment front with many wonderful shows having been staged at both the Ronnie Baker and Azalea halls.
Talented Mari Webster who has starred, produced and directed some of the delightful productions recently put together a nostalgic, musical journey comprising much-loved numbers from previous shows.

`Thanks for the Memory’ a supper theatre offering at Azalea Hall featured song, dance and even a little bit of comedy.
Singers, Friedhold Redinger, Sue Neilson, Jade Smith, Nils Potgieter and Mari who gave fine renditions of pop, jazz, classical, contemporary and hits from musicals were joined on stage by musicians Rob Vogt, Jurgen Human, Rob Henry and Ian Jones as well as dancers from the In Motion Dance Academy and the brave staffers from the Village. Marvellous musical memories were remade.
