Octopus produced a miscellany of music, monologues and melodrama, a divertissement of drama, dance and drollery and a galaxy of gagsters, glamour and gallantry in the guise of 'Music Hall Memories' in aid of St Peter's Hospice and Age Concern, which played to packed houses every night. The audience weeped and wailed with the poignant sentiments of the monologues, thrilled to the gallant heroics and treacherous villains of the melodrama, and sang along to the captivating choruses all for the price of £5 which included a ploughman's supper. All this merriment raised approximately £890 which was distributed between St Peter's Hospice and Age Concern.
