Andrea Richardson and Judi Campion are much loved members of local amateur theatre group Belmont Theatre Company, and were well supported with an eager audience from that troupe. Their 'Songs With' show did exactly what it said on the tin, providing an afternoon or great melodies from the worlds of pop and musical theatre, performed with gusto.
What elevated this show was the friendly banter between the two singers, themed around a journey through love, starting with infatuation, through maturity, to ultimate heartbreak. Andrea's It's Got To Be Perfect was filled with energy and thrilling high notes, while Judi's Tell Me On A Sunday was sublime, brimming with genuine emotion.
The show really soared when they came together and duetted, as on the touching You Don't Give Me Flowers, and the disco-tactic Single Ladies, which had them shimming as well as singing in unison!
All in all an utterly enjoyable afternoon of great tunes!
