Trivia / Fascinating Aïda

• Missing Episode: Famously they have 3 Vhs of their shows but they are lost, the two that we know of are It Wit Don't Give a Shit Girls and Barefaced Chic ^note thank you Amazon, however clips from the later have been uploaded to their YouTube Channel.
• He Also Did: Dillie Keane has also had a huge theatre career and famously worked with the Comedy series Grumpy Old Women as well as her own solo shows, Back With You and Hello Dillie which has a DVD.
  • Also Dillie has a YouTube Channel where since the Covid-19 Lockdown she has created songs like The Nothing to Do Blues/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLSRRp3XQV4 .
  • Adele Anderson, as well as doing stage-work was also in Big Finish productions of Doctor Who as the Sixth Tamasan.
  • Liza Pulman is a classic trained Soprano and has been in shows by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and the Carl Rosa Opera Company.
• The Other Darrin: Since most of the sopranos have changed it's difficult to say where to start:
  • The longest lasting sopranos apart from Liza Pulman, were Marilyn Cutts ^note  who was with the group from March 1983 to March 1986, then came back for 2000 (see below) and then 2003 she was with them from Edinburgh and is on the Sweet FA album, then we have Denise Wharmby ^note  she was August 1986 – April 1989 who appears in the BBC 1988 Concert and sang on A Load of Old Sequins and Issy van Randwyck ^note  March 1994 – July 1999 who has the most albums.
  • After this we have the smaller sopranos like Lizzie Richardson ^note March 1983 – October 1983, Glenda Smith ^note October 1983 – December 1983, Charlotte Nytzen ^note February 2000 see below and Sarah-Louise Young ^note  July 2011 – 2012 who was on the Cheap Flights tour as well as the DVD.
  • However during the Barefaced Chic run they had Issy van Randwyck is on the Live Recording, then Charlotte Nytzen an new soprano was to star for the London showing however she lost her voice days before opening night and so old time 'third girl' Marilyn Cutts returned for the whole run and even appeared on the Video.
• Saved from Development Hell: When talking about the song Prisoner of Gender, Dillie admits they wrote it early in their career and was shelved from most attempts until the Charm Offensive run when finally the mood was right to have Adele sing it.
• Shown Their Work: In most 80's performances the Lieder, Adele sings about German stars like Marlene Dietrich and Lotte Lenya however realising that Lenya was born in Vienna they correct it to Austrian in later performances.
• What Could Have Been: One tour of Charm Offensive was planned for Edinburgh but Adele Anderson planned a holiday to Korea, but later on she had to cancel for due to her Cancer treatement, so Dillie and Liza their own solo shows with Dillie taking her's to Edinburgh, thankfully Adele recovered.
