There’s nothing better than a night of dancing in your seat and 19th October sees Ultimate Bowie pay homage to the Star Man, David Bowie. Prepare to be all shook up when The Spirit of Elvis returns on 30th November after it’s sold out show in March and as if that wasn’t enough, Best of Wham is back on 1st February due to huge demand!

Hall’s precision dismantling of the tenuous relationship between two countries is as freewheeling and deadly accurate as ever. His BBC Four documentaries, Rich Hall’s Countrier Than You and Rich Hall’s Presidential Grudge Match and BBC Radio 4 series Rich Hall’s (US Election) Breakdown have built him a new legion of followers, as has appearances on Have I Got News For You and QI. But if you’ve only ever seen Hall on TV, you’ve short-changed yourself. “As close as it gets to a guaranteed good show” - Scotland on Sunday

GLENN TILBROOK: THE VOICE AND FACE OF SQUEEZE Tuesday 20 November 2018 8:00pm Tickets: £18.50 It was 1973 when Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford first formed the band that would that would see them dubbed ‘The New Lennon and McCartney’. 45 years later they continue to tour in Squeeze, together as a duo, or as solo performers. Glenn Tilbrooks solo shows have continued to rise in popularity with his 2016 tour selling out all but a couple of shows. The reasons for this are a combination of a consummately professional, yet distinctly personal performance, the familiarity of those wonderful Squeeze songs – both new and old, and the occasional spontaneous interpretation of a respected song by another artist.
