Alexander's Ragtime Band

This is the original handwritten orchestral score for Keith Strachan's arrangement of Alexander's Ragtime Band, a medley of musical instrument songs  that was performed on the 1980 Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium

Madison Square

Madison Square is a song written by Peter Olsen (aka Peter Osborn). This is a copy of the score written by Keith Strachan for the performance by Wall Street Crash on Live from Her Majesty's Theatre in 1981.
And below is a link to the Score written in Sibelius software. This is a playable version of the above - just click on 'play' arrow below the score.

Swing Swing Swing

And below is a playable copy of the original 10 piece band arrangement of the Swing medley which became the Act's closing number on stage for years and always performed in the white tails. I think it was the first time that Colin adopted a comedic role. Colin made us all laugh most of the time so it seemed an obvious use of his talents.    

The Train Medley

Bizarrely this was only performed once on a TV show and never performed live but it remains one of my favourite Wall Street Crash video clips. Keith.
