"The Arrival of
the Sunlords"
1974 The club had at last been able to prove to it self that winning Bridgwater Carnival was more than just a dream. However, the hard thing was to convince others that the previous year's success was more than just a "flash in the pan." Enthusiasm within the club had never been so high and so it came about that from the factual idea of 1973, the club was to move completely in the opposite direction, with a fictitious theme entitled TITLE. The twenty-six strong club had decide that both the stage and the cart should be of a polished nature, more on the lines of a tableaux presentations. Twenty-week competitions had now changed to a more ambitious forty-week draw with a top prize of £100. 1974

experience
allowed us to introduce harmony into the songs, and separate rehearsals
were needed to lean various numbers. Movement was positive, an the
stag setting very bright with Perspex suns being cut out of the props,
which at a certain part of the show lit up. Songs used were more difficult
that anything tried before with such numbers as "Sing Hallelujah",
then a version of "Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord" which was sung
in harmony. Other numbers used were the theme from "exodus" and "Day
By Day" from Godspell.
