Brian-.And as their manager, Brian (or Briony) Epstein I give you the Beatles

The Beatles sing I SAW HER STANDING THERE. Cast Dance and sing Barbara-Come on girls It’s the Dunfield Crystals

Dunfield Chrystals sing DA DOO RON RONJudge 1-Well what a performance all of you.

Judge 1-Well I have to tell you this is the best club concert we’ve seen

Judge 2-You are the winners and here is the £100 cheque

Phil-thank you that is brilliant.

Judge 1-Well done everyone. Just one piece of advice. That name ……….The Beatles …you’ll never get anywhere with that

Lenny-we’ll see

Denise- but what about the roof

Lenny- I can help you I wrote a song and sang it to the judges before we came on. They loved and I won £20

Phil-we’re saved we can mend the roof

Denise- What was it called?

Lenny-‘Rain’ I think it’ll make a good ‘b’ side when we are famous.

Lenny- for this last song we want those in the cheap seats to clap your hands and the rest of you to rattle your jewellery

Arty-Everybody sing along. It’s called Twist and Shout (Screams from cast)

TWIST AND SHOUT (get audience to join in with backing replies ‘shake it up baby now’-‘shake it up baby’
