THE GOLDEN DAYS OF SPRINGBOK RADIO

 


Rhumbelow Northlands will present well-known actor and comedian Frank Graham in a show titled The Golden Days Of Springbok Radio on March 23, 2025.

Frank Graham comments: “Do you remember a time when the only home entertainment we had was our precious radio? Do you remember our universally popular Springbok Radio with its plethora of music shows and quiz shows? And, particularly, do you recall the vast numbers of plays, serials, and series? Do you remember, above all, the comedies that could help to lift your spirits at the end of a hard day?

“Of course you do - and with affection, I would suggest. Those were the days of Inspector Carr, Henry Simon of the Missing Persons Bureau, of Doctor Paul and Mary Livingston, MD. They were the days of No 1 and No 2, Sir Gregory Pitkin, Mildred Murfin and Humbert and Lolita Snetherswaite; the days of Able Seaman Johnson

From 1968 on, the vast majority of comedies was recorded right here in Durban, many of them in front of “live” audiences.”

Come and spend a nostalgic evening at the Rhumbelow Northlands with Frank Graham, one of South Africa’s most versatile character actors and comedians as he re-invokes those memories with his hugely popular brand of humour.

You’ll go home with a song in your heart!

The show takes place on March 23 at 15h00. Tickets R200. Book through Webtickets or email Roland on roland@stansell.co.za or call 082 499 8636 for more information.
