WATCH: Liberal Revues of old

By | Sun 12th July 2020 - 4:55 pm

One of the highlights of Conference used to be the Liberal Revue, a tour de force of satire. Some of the old ones have made their way on to YouTube and you can see them here.

I can only remember going to one, back in 1992 in Harrogate. And it’s here. I also took part in a mini version at the 1986 Paisley Conference which, thankfully, was never filmed. However, we did get Bob Maclennan to make fun of Charles Kennedy. It was a special moment.

Enjoy.

Those were the days……

    Thanks for the post Caron. The simplest way to find them is to search for ‘liberal revue’ on YouTube.
    The shows there are from 1988-89, 1992-94, 1996, 2002, 2004 and 2008. The first three shows from 1984-86 we have in only rather variable audio and the 2003 show is unfortunately lost.
    A complete set of DVDs and original scripts and programmes is now in the National Liberal Club library.

    Does the NLC have equipment to show this material?
    Which room is it in?
    I recall the smoking room being used for displays of US Republican elections
    members were banned.
