A very happy 100th birthday to Emily Perry,
aka Madge Allsop.
Emily now lives at Brinsworth House,
Twickenham, a retirement home for members of
the acting and entertainment professions.
Incredibly, she only retired three years ago.
She ran a very successful children's dancing
school, The Patricia Perry Academy of
Dancing, for 25 years.
Her last TV appearence was as a guest star in
an episode of Last Of The Summer Wine, but
she is best known for her character Madge
Allsop in various Dame Edna TV shows spanning
five years in the late 80's & early 90's.
This video clip is from Dame Edna's
Neighbourhood Watch.
UPDATE:
Emily died in February 2008. Her death is
mentioned on the BBC website. They have put a
link to this video.

Geoffrey Douglas Madge, piano
Camerata Busoni is the synthesis of attuned
musicians from different generations and from
from several countries. All its musicians
have notable careers performing chamber music
or/and are successful soloists. Founded in
2006 they started from the outset with a
regular formation to perform traditional
chamber music; - Piano Quartet, Piano Trio
and String Trio - pianist Geoffrey Madge,
violinist Marco Roosink, violist Ferdinand
Erblich (Párkányi Quartet, former Orlando
Quartet) and the Austrian solo cellist
Katharina Gross.
Camerata Busoni programs chamber music from
Bach to Ravel. From solo works, piano trio's
and quartets to the larger works like
Schubert's Trout Quintet, Brahms' Piano
Quintet and Messiaen's 'Quatuor pour la fin
du temps'. If possible, Camerata Busoni
combines in its concerts works for changing
formations, e.g. quartet, trio, duo & solo.
For the first season 2007-2008, Camerata
Busoni was invited to play concerts a.o. in
the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Musis Sacrum
Arnhem, Eindhoven, Veere and for a series of
concerts in Den-Bosch (De Toonzaal).
In the 08-09 season they will again perform
at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the
Schnittke Chamber Music Days (in
collaboration with a.o. Mark Lubotsky and the
Parkanyi Kwartet) will be held on their
initiative at four prominent chambermusic
venues in the Netherlands: Amsterdam,
Utrecht, Enschede and Den Bosch. see also:
