Thanks to Johnny Mans - Ents. Manager
The Redcoat Show
tour
came after the 1965 Summer Season, and took in numerous counties in the
North, Midlands, and South Wales, visiting countless social and
workmen's clubs. |
Jenny Malkinson later changed her name to 'Leslie Rae,' and did a male impersonator act. In 1957, whilst
still a Redcoat at the Metrople Hotel, Russ Hamilton
had a No.2 record in the charts with, We Will Make Love.
He was then moved to Clacton for the summer, as bar entertainer in the Jolly Roger. After his career waned he returned to the Butlins Metropole, firstly as a Redcoat Entertainer in 1965, then as Entertainments Manager in 1966/7/8. During those three years, the wake-up record played every morning at 3 minutes to 8 was - you've guessed it: We Will Make Love.

producer of many successful touring shows.
