Charleston Starlight Singers

Here is the one and only Charleston Starlight Singers performing some of their classics at a pub in Dundee. The exact location of the pub remains a mystery so if anyone was there for this performance or you know who filmed this, then please get in touch with me so I can pass on the information to the viewers in Hoolywood. Their names are Shirley and Kevin Hollinshead (he plays the keyboard), well he doesn't really coz he is pure shit haha. The other bloke in the cream flared suit is called Colin Hodkinson who looks like the late Eric Morcombe!

Rumour has it, they demanded to play at this pub as they really thought they were superb entertainers but judging by this archive footage, they were sadly wrong! It's like an early scene from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and that is putting it mildly lol. I believe this was filmed in the 1980s when smoking was allowed in pubs which adds to the flavour of thie video. Thanks to Andy Pelt aka Saint Andrew and El Breeko @ Grouchos for bringing this video into the public eye. It has been gathering dust since it was filmed and has NEVER been seen in public until now!!!

This is what hoolywoodproductions.com is all about my fellow film buffs. Finding the un-hidden talent in Dundee and giving them a worldwide audience and what bigger stage to perform than in HOOLYWOOD. Talking about stages…The Charleston Starlight Singers even had the hard neck to blag their way onto the stage at The Dundee Rep to get their picture taken to promote this video. Absolutely bonkers! In my view, the three of them should have definitely went to Specsavers instead haha!

Listen to their 'setlist' which contains some belters like Daisy Daisy, Lily The Pink, Diana, Rave On, Paper Roses and Da Doo Ron Ron. You certainly haven't heard them sang like this before believe you me. The best part for me was when Kevin does his improvisation on keyboards. He doesn't hit one single note but it's brilliant…Not! Another top scoop for the production team on this website. Teckle!
