Lynnwood Posted January 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hi all, now I have seen many posts on here regarding the "Limelight Club" outlining many individual artists. However I cannot recollect seeing or have discovered a comprehensive list of artists who have ever appeared in the Club. Perhaps it would be generally helpful and informative if posters could add to the limited list that i am aware of. I`m sure there are many more than:- 1 Gareth Gates 2 Kiki Dee 3 Michael Stark 4 4 Poofs and a Piano 5 Claire Sweeney 6 Ben Richards 7 La Voix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clodia Posted January 12, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Saw Eric and Ern last year and really enjoyed them; brought back the highlights of their TV shows in the 70s! I spoke to people younger than I who never really saw the old shows and they found them entertaining in their own right. Well worth the extra charge I thought.

As I’m only on a 2 nighter don’t think I’ll bother as there might be other entertainment I don’t want to miss. We did really enjoy the Limelight when we went before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennizor Posted January 12, 2020 #20 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We decided we would give the Limelight Club a go on our upcoming Britannia cruise. One of the acts listed was Suzanne Shaw, I clicked on the option to get more info and Chesney Hawkes came up! We settled for Gareth Gates as it does look like it will be him appearing.

Yes I was going to do that but as I’m only on the mini and I’m not bothered about Jake we’ll probably give it a miss this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee-ess Posted January 13, 2020 #23 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) We saw Jackie Graham the first time we went to LImelight. We also saw Dean Andrews, both were good. Can't get excited about the current acts though. Edited January 13, 2020 by bee-ess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnwood Posted January 13, 2020 Author #24 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi all Thanks again for the information which has now become a"Historical List of past Artists" really good info as to the level of Acts we can expect to see. Revised list so far Thanks all, the revised list so far:- Gareth Gates (Pop idol finalist Recording Artist and West End) Kiki Dee ( Recording Artist and Hit record with Elton John) Michael Starke (Sinbad from Brookside) 4 poofs and a Piano ( House band on Jonathan Ross show) Claire Sweeney (Brookside and West End) Ben Richards (Hollyoaks and West End ) La Voix (Britain`s Got Talent 2014) Jonty Stephens and Ian Ashpitel (Morecambe and Wise tribute) Dean Andrews (Emmerdale) Cheryl Baker (Bucks Fizz) Shaun Williamson (Barry Evans from Eastenders) Madeleine Bell (Recording Artist and in Blue Mink) Jaki Graham (Recording Artist) Chesney Hawkes (Recording Artist) Boyzlife ( Tribute Band) There`s more info and proposed current artists on the previous link provided by previous posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted January 13, 2020 #25 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I don't think that I would rush to see any of the artists on the current list, we did see Jaki Graham on Britannia and she was good. I remember the good old days when P&O used to occasionally have the likes of Katherine Jenkins and Michael Ball both were excellent but I suppose in real terms the cost of the cruises is a less now so the fees of people like this are too much.
