Well guess if one looks closely at Louise's very on off thirty six year puppeteering career this is just soooo typical of her, to suddenly pop up as a puppeteer again, when no one is expecting it. Actually it's kind of typical of the surprising moves her performing career seems to take. But I...

I'm looking forward to this too. And you know that over the past eleven years, Louise has also puppeteered Spitting Image's The Queen in her cabaret act, plus a few other odd appearances in London's West End. (Most memorably when she compared a Mary Poppins themed TheatreMad benefit)

One would presume he discovered it was something he could actually do rather well. Anyway it's a question which could well be asked about several of his Muppeteer colleagues.

I don't drop my Muppet Central much these days. But I must say the past couple of days I've been excited to read about this new show - to the point of thinking -"hey I must get the telly fixed so I can actually watch it!". I used to think that as a Muppet fan I was only interested in the older...

I love this special. I've seen many docmentaries about TMS. But i think what MAKES this one the best is that it was actually made during the run of TMS. All the other specials are restrospective, but this one wasn't. - Oh and have to highlight that hilarious scene in the recording studio "Uh oh...

Oh Wow! - I've just read the news in Empire magazine. - I've not taken much interest in The Muppet films for a while. I like the original stuff, and tend to feel that the new stuff isn't really them same. Personally I think it's good if the old characters take a bit of a back seat and allow...

OH WOW! Thanks so much to those who've posted the videos. It means a lot to those of us who couldn't attend. There is some really fascinating stuff there. I'm so glad Louise Gold was in the tribute, and slightly amazed by her lovely comments about the Muppet fans. That's really something coming...

Oh btw who would you have for The two Mutations? some 35 years on I think one would have to have younger people than the originals. However, can I sugguest perhaps Edward Watson and Liam Scarlett might be good contemporary choices.

Well since Annie Sue's part is rather a cameo, I'd like to suggest my favourite musical theatre singer-actress for it, as a guest-puppeteer cameo. .. Louise Gold is still a very capable performer, and Annie Sue was specially designed for her. I'm not sure about Big Mama though (also originally...

I think the Muppet performers are probably very much 'work colleagues' to each other, some you might get along with and meet up outside of work, and some you don't. It is important for us to remember that to the performers operating muppets is "just a job".

Since it says that four people puppeteered Mirinda, I would take that as being at different times over the four years of those commericals. Louise Gold can ONLY have puppeteered on them during the latter 2 years, 1977 and 78. Louise Gold officially joined The Muppets on 12 July 1977 (as that is...

I would actually go as far as to say it was my admiration for Louise Gold's amazing singing, particularly her lovely big vibrato belt (particularly well illustrated on such Sesame Street numbers as 'I Get A Kick Out Of U' and 'Anyone's Nose', as well as on TMS's 'Bluefish Blues', that in a way...

Well I always think there are three who really stand out: Louise Gold (fantastic singer, she just HAS to come top of my list) Jerry Nelson (One of the very few people to have parterned Louise in duets and actually been a great vocal match for her) Richard Hunt However a few others can be jolly...

If anyone is interested I have added a review of Louise Gold's recent performance in the 'Lost Musicals' concert staging of 'Mexican Hayride' to my website about her, see: http://www.qsulis.demon.co.uk/Website_Louise_Gold/Mexican_Hayride_Review.htm It was good to see her once again being such...

I was compiling an article for a friend's theatre fanzine, and listede the TV special of 'John Denver and The Muppets A Christmas Together' as being one that Louise Gold had puppeteered on. I later discovered this is not so, because that special was filmed in America (and apart from Sesame...

Mike Quinn is another left-handed puppeteer. It may be noted that both Mike Quinn and Louise Gold puppeteer left-handed because they are left-handed over writing etc. Richard Combes and Terry Angus also puppeteer left-handed, but in their cases they write right-handed, and their left-handed...

Yes I have read that, however, from what I read it was only during a short whilein the mid 1970s on Sesame Street, that Jerry performed left-handed and mainly because he had an injured should which took a while to heal, and he couldn't puppeteer right-handed (his preference) while the injury was...

If anyone is interested Louise Gold appeared in an episode of Coronation Street last Thursday (9 June). She played a judge in a court-room scene. Not a particularly good role for her (as it didn't give her much scope to really show what she is capable of), however, she did of course play the...

Oh gosh yes. And also how many of them had lyrics by Yip Harburg. (He wrote at least three of them: Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Look To The Rainbow, and, I've Got A Rainbow Working For Me). Anyway, twice while watching Ian Marshall-Fisher's Lost Musicals shows, I have found myself wondering...

Ah but what if your favourite singers were on TMS in the first place? Particularly if that happens to be because they were TMS Muppeteers? I mention this because my absoltute favourite singer is Louise Gold, and another of my favourte singers is Jerry Nelson, and together they're incomparable.
