I came across this very interesting piece of information this morning on Dorothy Squires website.

The show was to raise funds for Jack Segal and took place on JUne 1st 1969 at the Savile Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue, London.

By the way it's good to be up and running again as the site has been down since this morning!

The impressive cast in alphabetical order is:-

Tony Blackburn
Don Charles
Harry H Corbett
Peter Gordeno
Kenny Lynch
Matt Monro
Don Partridge
The Rockin' Berries
Dave Cash
Joe Chisolm
Billy Fury
Leapy Lee
Ray Martine
Guy Mitchell
Rickey Renee
Dorothy Squires

Also The Sidney Simone Orchestra.

I wonder if anyone on here was in the audience? Lena & Harry perhaps?

I agree Marian and out of that line up I have seen The Rockin' Berries, Kenny Lynch and Dorothy Squires and they were all great. I bet Peter Gordeno would have been great too, and Mr. Monro of course!!!!!! :)
