AUDIENCES were taken on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, with two performances of the musical show Rolling Back the Years.

Presented by Timeless Theatre Productions, the show, at Hartlepool's Town Hall Theatre, was packed with favourites from the Forties to the Seventies.

It featured classics made famous by a host of stars, from Glenn Miller, Judy Garland and Doris Day, to Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard and Abba.

Each decade featured choreography and costumes related to the time, with performances by West End and international vocalists, together with the Memory Lane Dancers.

Claire Munroe, of Hartlepool Borough Council's arts, museums and events service, said: "The show was a wonderful celebration of some magical musical decades.
