I got the impression that they were going to play it very much for laughs, and so I produced a draft of a poster which did very much that. With Buffy text for the title and a spooky figure of Death (aka vet David) reaching out for you with two ‘vampire players’ playing piccolo and clarinet at the bottom. All very dark, all very silly, all very spooky.

Well, apparently that’s not gone down so well with the ‘religious right’ on the committee (I get the feeling it was quite a controversial discussion at the committee meeting, not just about the poster, but the playing for fun aspect of the concert), who it seems felt that such a subject wasn’t approprriate? You what? If anything Hallowe’en is pagan and/or an American invention. Very little to do with religion, and if it upsets them, then well… are they also going to be upset about the pagan elements of Christmas?

I’m not going to spoil it for you if haven’t heard it, ‘cos it’s sheer class. All I will say is that it involves Phil Archer (yes, the same actor who’s been in it for over 50 years!), Jennifer Aldridge, and the vicar in St Steven’s Church, and it’s pretty damn chilling!

Note: this repeat will only be available online after the Tuesday repeat at aprox. 2pm GMT.
