Diana Dors, Her Story

Dates: Friday 5th April 2019 Time: 7:30pm Ticket price: £16.00 Standard*, £15.00 Concessions*

To the teenage schoolboy of the early 1960’s, Diana Dors was the snigger behind the bicycle sheds, the stuff of dreams, the sort of dreams that you didn’t tell mum about. The epithet blonde bombshell could have been hand-made for Diana Dors, but the effect of the bombshell was largely incendiary, firing up not only the school boys’ testosterone, but the printing presses of Fleet Street’s more inquisitive popular red-tops, and the indignation of multitudinous moral makers.

The Upbeat Beatles

Dates: Saturday 6th April 2019 Time: 7:30pm Ticket price: £23.00 Standard*

The Upbeat Beatles are second to none - powerhouse vocals, precision harmonies and tight musicianship. There isn’t a band to touch them - 8 bars of “Twist and Shout” and you will know why! No other band can perform this song like the Upbeat Beatles! The show takes you through the Fab Four’s long and winding road from the early Cavern days through Beatlemania, America, Sergeant Pepper to Abbey Road, with narrative and full multi-media presentation.
