"Superb" is the only way to describe last weekend's Keighley Festival concert by members of Keighley Amateurs.
So says the show's coordinator David Weston as he praises the children and adults who performed at Victoria Hall.
The concert raised several hundred pounds for the festival's adopted charity, the planned Cycling for Life ride by three Keighley busmen.
Mr Weston was particularly impressed by the Amateurs' recently-formed junior singing group's two 15-minute spots.
The group was formed because recent Amateurs productions have had so many children in the cast.
Amateurs chairman Louise Hindle-Barton, who leads the group, wants to encourage the youngsters as the society's future.
Mr Weston says the eight to 13-year-old children sang songs from musicals such as Oliver and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
He says: "They did Louise proud. She had all 25 there and they all sang their hearts out -- people were cheering when they went off.
"There are certainly some up-and-coming starlets. Some of our seniors will have to look out!"
Among the adult Amateurs performers, Sally Hamer, Audrey Hutchinson and Louise herself presented songs from the musical Oklahoma!
John Short sang a medley of well-known songs, while pantomime favourite Peter Greenwood was compere. Duets were performed by Audrey Lomax and Rhoda Nilon, Ambrose Griffiths and Lyndsey Whitham, and Elizabeth and Peter Hadfield.
Guests were the Irene Ogden School of Dance, and ladies choir the Holme Singers.
