all the time With a smile and a song, St Peter's Methodist Church AODS. Runs until Saturday. ST PETER'S musical revues seem to improve with successive productions as a largely young team adds to its skills and acquires greater confidence.

They could not fail with an opening selection of songs about the weather and the seasons.

That theme gave them a huge choice and they picked some of the best.ZSinging in the RainZwas particularly well staged.

They brought this section to a close withZThe Sun Has Got His Hat On,Zwhich was added to the score ofZMe and My GirlZfor the revised version of that show.

The Cohen brothers, Paul and Graham, were in good form last night, particularly in the selection of show-stoppers by Rodgers and Hammerstein after the interval.

Their interpretation ofZHoney BunZfrom South Pacific was a big hit with the audience.

Variety was brought to the programme by Acclamation, a singing group from Westhoughton.

The group of four men (three of them guitarists) and four women sang folk songs, as well as country and western and some rock numbers from the 1950s and 60s. They proved good all-rounders.

St Peter's attractive young dancers - Joanne Eccleshare, Sarah Hatton, Nicola Jones and Amy Naughton - were versatile performers and had pleasant voices.

Louise Cohen sangZOver the Rainbow Zvery well, with a much sharper delivery than when she performed the same number in a production of Wizard of Oz a few years ago.

As usual costumes, scenery and lighting were first class. Tickets from 01204 63209 DOREEN CROWTHER
