barton22 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Buying this from Amazon looks much cheaper. With postage it is €36 (about £26) from the seller in Katherine's link. Amazon has it for £12.99. It should be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This gala was shown on Sky Arts a few months ago and parts of it are lovely. I have invested in the DVD and am particularly looking forward to seeing the Raymona extract again as this party piece is not given often enough. I am confident anyone would find they had not wasted their £12.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
