Flash Parade was the name that the legendary Vic Loving gave to her touring company which travelled the length and breadth of Ireland and parts of England from the 1920’s to the early 1960’s. She was also known as the ‘Sequin Queen’ for lavishly made costumes used by her dancers and actors in her productions. It was unusual for a woman to run her own business never mind a large company of musicians- actors and dancers in a country that was going through some dark times.... but as those who recalled her, she brought ‘colour- gaiety and glamour’ to an otherwise grey backdrop which was Ireland of that era....This book is just a small selection of photos in a considerable collection of other theatrical memorabilia held by Vikki Jackson.Following on from Vikki’s first book ‘Gags and Greasepaint’ this book contains further reminiscences......
