Cabaret Festival - Licence To Thrill; concert


'Spicks and Specks' regular Alan Brough (pictured) presents 'Licence To Thrill: The Scores of James Bond'. James Bond certainly scored not only with film-goers but also with the beautiful women onscreen. Alan possesses extensive knowledge and trivia on pop culture and shares the stage with three Bond-Shells Wendy Stapleton, Kaye Tuckerman and Monique Montez.

Alan Brough is a 6'4" New Zealander who's been a James Bond fan since he was ten years of age. An affable and well-suited human encyclopaedia of music trivia, Alan shares his experiences as a youthful and enthusiastic Bond fan. Everything from eating, drinking and smoking like James Bond is revealed and one can appreciate the influence of Bond on the previous and future generations of film-goers.

Backed up by the 'Cat Scratch Band' under the baton of Musical Director John Thorn, the delectable Bond Beauties deliver songs of the Bond films with energetic and exhilirating panache.

Actress and singer Wendy Stapleton has the strongest and most seductive voice of the trio, giving a passionate and smooth rendition of From Russia With Love, and hits the mark in Nobody Does It Better with her breathy velvety vocals.

Sultry siren Kaye Tuckerman combines sassiness and sophistication in The Man With The Golden Gun, then exudes her feisty flair for fun with Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Brilliant belter and young performer Monique Montez shows poise and vocal assurance with For Your Eyes Only , and tackles Thunderball with impressive vocal expression and power.

Individually the Bond-Shells sparkle and shine, but as a trio they display vocal fireworks in their Bond medleys.

'Licence To Thrill: The Scores Of James Bond' celebrates a night of Bond music and memories to satisfy the fans and lovers of action/suspense films, and pays homage to the theme songs that have touched our hearts and permeated our lives.
