00:00This weekend it was dedicated as a 1940s and retro weekend, but sadly for some reason that we're unaware of, the council decided that we couldn't go ahead with the event.
00:15For whatever reason, and we've accepted that, yesterday we did have the 1940s event at the Victoria Hall, which went down absolutely fantastic, but today's events were cancelled.
00:29So we've decided, because people have travelled from all over the world to be here with us this weekend, we've decided that we will do something for the people that are still here this afternoon, which is volunteering our services.
00:42So we're going to put a show on for you, and we've had lots of 40s and 50s dancing, and you can see the way some of the people are arriving already, dressed in retro gear, like you could see in the 1940s and the 1950s.
00:56So we're going to be doing that for you pretty soon.
00:58So we have a DJ who's volunteering to come and play some music for us before we start the show.
01:03So in the meantime, do stay with us and enjoy the show, it should be good.
01:08If you like the 1940s and you like the 1950s, if you like rock and roll, if you like jiving, you're going to love it here today.
01:14So thank you very much indeed.
01:15We'll start the show in about 20 minutes.
02:08Get on a DC train.
02:10Feel me daddy, get me a dose.
