@dulcineahk @elaine_paige THE best experience!

Dame Elaine! @elaine_paige

Many congratulations on a long overdue Damehood for Britain’s first lady of musical theatre.

Just a few of the very many memories (no pun intended…) I’ve been lucky to have with the new Dame over

@NTepfan @FionaMiller222 @henriette_bruun @elaine_paige @thetimes @BBCRadio2 @ZoeTheBall @BBCSounds Actually, it was filmed - there was a clip of it on the One Show last night but it’s not for full broadcast, I believe.

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

@jessrickson @LondonPalladium @elaine_paige Excellent! Can’t wait for the concert - and to catch up with many friends made over the years in following EP. ⭐️

@ATGTICKETS given up after nearly an hour of messing around both online and on call. I’d appreciate a customer advisor message when you’ve managed to sort your servers out.

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

@ATGTICKETS And now, we’re back to the beginning with payment having failed due to your systems timing out…. this really is not on !

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

@ATGTICKETS Finalising your order… Tickets selected, card info put in, but now just spiralling around…. Any help please? Has this booking been made??

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

@ATGTICKETS Got to the front of the queue, clicked on date I wanted, ‘Something gone wrong behind the scenes’ and now at the back of the queue again? This is REALLY poor service

@BenGrabham @TalkingPicsTV Sir Tommy’s archivist here - Reference from my biography of Tommy - it was shown in 1960. Have never actually seen it myself but have off-air TV audio recording of it. Where did @TalkingPicsTV show it? Sir Tommy and I would LOVE to see it - know it exists on film in ITV archive.

It was announced this morning that Mike Yarwood, impressionist and comedian, died yesterday.

Here’s @elaine_paige on his show - broadcast bizarrely on 8th September 1982 - 41 years to the day before he died!

Singing ‘Be A Lion’ from ‘The Wiz.’

Looking forward to @CarverTheatre’s SOLD OUT run of the hilarious ‘Allo ‘Allo, which opens tomorrow! What-a mistake-a to make-a if you didn’t book!! @vickimichelle

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

@JoyParry13 “The late” ? I can confirm that Tommy is absolutely not “late” and very much still being “great” !!

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

Festive greetings from Tommy Steele himself.

He’s also sharing his festive tinsel-tale ‘The Christmas Mystery of Muchhope’ for everyone to enjoy again for the next 7 days:

@huwareyou Hi Huw! Glad you’re enjoying! Yes, it was recorded on 16th December 1956 at the Conway Hall in London. A concert put on especially by Decca for the recording of the album. (Page 38 of the book mentions it and the rest of the songs recorded that show that didn’t make the LP).

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

New addition to the collection today - and not a Tommy Steele item for a change!

An original wooden knight from the 1986 London production of ‘Chess,’ saved from the floor of the stalls after Tommy K turned over the board too dramatically 36 years ago. @SirTimRice @elaine_paige

[Seb Lassandro @slassandro1]

@BedTaker @brain_string ‘Tommy in Toyland.’ Brilliant! 😂The show was the Thames TV Christmas special ‘Quincy’s Quest’ from 1979.

A message of thanks from Sir Tommy Steele on his Birthday.
