This is the second of two performances of this show, with a large cast consisting of the Albion Dance Band, plus Philip Pickett on things you blow through, the Albionettes - Ashley's own dance troupe and actor Howard Gurney from the National Theatre. The show took the usual form of dialogue, readings, songs, and this time dances from the Albionettes done to Dave Whetstone tunes, with whom Ashley danced some of the time.
