GOODALL's musical activities during the early 1930s were by no means confined to St Alban's and his collaboration with Reinhold von Warlich. For a week in April 1930 he accompanied the baritone Keith Falkner in a variety show at the London Coliseum. Falkner, a noted oratorio singer, had been asked to top the bill by Dennis Stoll, musician son of the theatre's impresario, Sir Oswald Stoll. Supporting acts included “silly dances,” Albert Sandler's Trio, the British Movietone news, various comedians, a Mickey Mouse cartoon and songs of “Old Ireland” from Talbot O’Farrell.

There were three performances daily, at 2.15, 5.15 and 8.15. Falkner, who thirty years later became director of the Royal College of Music, had two spots. In the first he sang popular operatic arias with the theatre orchestra under its resident conductor. For the second, the curtain went up to reveal Goodall alone on stage, seated at a grand piano. Falkner sauntered on and sang selections from Keel's Salt Water Ballads and Vaughan Williams's Songs of Travel. His singing, said the Daily Telegraph, “was warmly appreciated.” Only The Stage mentioned Goodall's role in the proceedings, but made no comment on it. The most spectacular item on the bill was “Beauty and Dance,” in which, said The Stage, “a company of around 70 young ladies go through various forms of dancing, including capital scenes representing Toy Town, a garden of orchids, a fan dance and a final parade … The company are drawn from the Plaza Girls, the Paramount Girls, the Mangan Tillerettes and other show and ballet girls.” Goodall enjoyed himself.

There were also more sober jobs that year, for example a pair of organ recitals Goodall gave for the BBC from the church of St Mary-le-Bow in the City. Works by Dupré, Vierne and Franck figured prominently, though the second programme also included a scherzo by G. J. Bennett, Goodall's old choirmaster at Lincoln, and a transcription of the berceuse and finale from Stravinsky's Firebird.
