“BALAM'ORY LIVE TOUR
Clyde Auditorium. Glasgow. 27 Dec—4 Jan.
It would be hard to argue with two million kids. Probably impossible. But that would be the task you‘d face if you tried to say Balamory was rubbish. The little row of rainbow houses pull in that many viewers every week, so it would be fair to say that the prospect of a live stage show featuring Miss Hoolie et al is a pretty
exciting one for the average child.
Series producer Brian Jameson has got a task on his hands in bringing this worshipped institution to the stage, but he‘s confident there will be no disappointed little ‘uns. ‘lt’s the sort of show that will lend itself to the stage very well; it’ll be like taking a trip to Balamory. I hope the kids are immensely excited.‘

consider that they‘re on our level in the first place. All the characters are immensely popular, they have such an appeal because they engage with the audience and they‘re very accessible.’
