Carry On, Cleo
Still in good nick after all these years
She sang on the night of Johnny Dankworth's death last week, performing along with their children Jacqui and Alec in a Wavendon 40th anniversary concert, and since her man's gone now, Cleo Laine is equally determined that the show should go on in Pinner this Saturday. Rumour has it that the one-off voice is still in good nick after more than forty years in the business, so catch the concert if you can - and if there are still tickets left - in part of Pinner Jazz Club's season at the Parish Church. In the meantime, here are Cleo and Johnny, long before they became Sir and Dame, back in 1965.
