1955

Held on Valentine’s Day, there were two Poll Winners concerts, which both sold out quickly. Actor Nigel Patrick presented the awards to the largely jazz based musos.
Of the night we wrote: “Show business history was made,” we wrote “for never before, to our knowledge, had an all star bill been presented to a wildly enthusiatic crowd.”
Cleo Lane looked “most cuddlesome”, whilst the ever present Dickie Valentine who “got the afternoon’s first overwhelming ovation.”
