Tea Trolley Dancing and Palm Court Music at its best...Walton’s delectable tea trolley dancers improvise playfully, elegantly and athletically in the beautiful Albion Ballroom (Eleanor, Anna, Cydnei, Sally, Richard, Shane, Catherine & Ewan). The music was written between 1908 and 2023 – celebrating Lazar’s time in Turkey, during a long journey from Ukraine to Australia.
