IT'S NOT JUST ABSURD
"Every Friday Night At 8" LTHOUGH it is called a musical A absurdity, "Every Friday Night at Eight" which features the Rhythm-makers and that versatile trio, "Carrie," "’Arry" and " Ross," is by no means absurd, judging by the fanmail they receive and the hundreds of requests that pour in every week from all parts of the country. As anyone who has heard it is likely to tell you, " Every Friday Night at Eight" is a bright, slick and fast-moving little show that presents music, mirth and melody in a style all of its own. Each week requests come pouring in for numbers to be played by the Rhythm-makers in this popular session and they come from every part of New Zealand including many places which, "*Arry" says, "we ain’t never ’eard of!" So many requests have come in of late that it is impossible for them all to be acceded to for weeks-perhaps monthsbut the Rhythm-makers will do their best. In the meantime, the show goes on with "Ross," the bright and breezy compére and his " offsider," "’Arry," providing most of the fun, ably assisted by "Carrie" and sometimes " Art." "Every Friday Night at Eight" is generally heard from 2YA Wellington on Friday nights; but if you’re going to listen to them on August 30, don’t be disappointed if you can’t find them on 2YA’s programme. They’ll be on the air all right-only it will be from 2YC, just for once. |
