There were two programmes made quite close to each other. In the
first one, the Hawthorn Entertainment Ltd office is featured in the
first of a 4 part series which was recorded on Jan 7th, 2003, and
screened on Jan 23rd, 2003.
In this series of four late night programmes, ITV1 Wales'
PRESENTERS finalist, John Parton introduced the best of club
entertainment to be seen in Wales.
Recorded at four special events at the Cwmfelin Club in Swansea,
CLASSY ACTS showcased a complete range of club acts in a
live setting.

introduction (even though he got our name wrong)
The web site at the time goes on to say:
John has a great amount of respect towards club performers and
thinks they're a cut above the 'Stars' of "reality TV"
"These people are real entertainers who have been working for
years towards making it"
"They have to go to some of the hardest venues in the country
and have to perform for a living, which is not the easiest thing to
do," says John.
The special feature of CLASSY ACTS was that every programme
brought to the TV screen performers selected by one of Wales' top
entertainment agents.
Each agent provided the programme with a selection of acts on
his or her books.
They selected a wide range of types of entertainment - singers,
comedians, instrumental performers and all sorts of novelty
acts.
As well as exciting coverage of each of these quality showcases
of the best entertainment talent to be found in Wales, CLASSY ACTS
included behind-the-scenes interviews with the performers
themselves as they rehearse for the big night and as they get ready
to go on stage.
The second programme was called Club Life. This 6 part
production featuring Trealaw Social Club, Rhondda, South Wales
commenced on Friday Jan 3rd, 2003. We were featured on Friday, Jan
31st, 2003 when we enlisted the services of Bernard Manning &
Wendy Kane to raise funds to help the club out of a sticky
financial situation.
We then kindly declined an offer to feature in a fly-on-the-wall
documentary.
