2011 - 2014

Under construction - coming soon!

Update from Trevor in 2010:

"A lot has happened in the three years to 2010. We have three new cast members and one crew member as well with a welcome return of Tristan Cowell. In 2006 Rebel Dean had joined us and we played our usual summer season at Bournemouth welcoming (as we do every year) the Carrington Hollywood Dance Academy dancers. They contribute so much to make the summers at the Pavilion in Bournemouth such a pleasure, not only for the audiences but indeed for the whole company. The Christmas show seems to come round quicker each year and as theatres move their pantomimes into the early December period we consequently have to start our show mid-November to accommodate all the dates. It's a lot of work putting a Christmas show together whilst at the same time playing the normal show but I can honestly say...

2000-2006

In 2000 the show had two major changes, Josie left and emigrated to Australia. Katy Setterfield was auditioned to take over from Raya, but such was the power of her voice and performance she became Josie's replacement and Clive Fishlock effectively replaced Raya. Clive had auditioned a year earlier and the decision was made to use Clive as the play-everything fifth band member who could also sing well. The line up then was to stay for the next five years, Morgan Turner, Gary Anderson, Trevor Payne, Julia Greenham, Katy Setterfield, Phil Hollender, Clive Fishlock, Mark Street, Iain Hawkins and Andy Hodge.

2001, and the settled cast moved into evermore ambitious and complex shows. Katy established herself in her lead role and Clive played everything and was able to work happily up front when needed...

1990s

Now Gary Anderson was in the show, That'll Be The Day was able to expand on its comic front. It's very difficult to find comedians who are willing to adapt, try new material and share laughs in sketches. Trevor and Gary struck up an instant rapport and became in many respects a 'double act' within the show, which was to prove hugely significant. In 1990 the band backing the show was called 'Ritz'. They had previously been backing Jim Davidson and 'Fizzical' and so were well known to Trevor. Mark Street was the drummer, Alan Cutler on bass guitar, Richard Snow on keyboards, Simon on guitar and Lorayne Robinson on vocals...

The first origins of That'll be The Day can be traced back to 1985 when a variety show called 'The Happy Days of Rock n Roll' was launched by Bristol-based agent John Mills for the club and cabaret circuit for a six week autumn tour.The show had a varied cast of rockers including Fred The Ted, Margo and Trevor, Terry Denton, The Rock 'n' Roll Circus band, and a one-boy, three-girl singing and dancing group called Fizzical.Fizzical was the creation of Trevor Payne, who had enjoyed previous success with The Medium Wave Band in the 70s, including a number one hit record in Malta, which Trevor also wrote.The success of the first short tour of 'The Happy Days of Rock n Roll' were followed by further spring and autumn tours, and in 1986 Mills secured a summer season...
