Tim gets a Goodie bag of classics

By Eddie McIlwaine

It's Goodie Time at the Ulster Orchestra.

Former Goodie Tim Brooke-Taylor signed a deal yesterday that will bring him to the Waterfront Hall on Saturday, May 6, to host a concert of requests.

This Goodie, who is also a panellist on the radio show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, will be keeping the audience clued up about each classical favourite as it is given an airing.

He's stepping into the breach after homebred Eamonn Holmes, the original choice as compere, discovered he was needed for the Lottery Show on television the same night.

"The concert is an amazing mix of tunes," says David Byers, the orchestra's chief executive, "and Tim says he loves every one of them. In fact the programme is a real goodie bag."

On stage with the orchestra ? conducted by the Royal Ballet's Paul Murphy from Londonderry - will be tenor Justin Lavender, soprano Ceara Grehan and the Belfast Philharmonic Choir.

On the bill will be everything from The Big Country to opera choruses from the likes of Finlandia and Nessun Dorma and Send in the Clowns and the Hallelujah Chorus.
