SHARING EXPERIENCES
WELCOME! I am delighted to present to you an exciting season of events in a new-look brochure, putting all the brilliant experiences our two venues have to offer together. All made possible because of the continued support and confidence of Eastleigh Borough Council and Arts Council England, for which we are really grateful. For a great night out try our Stick of Rock Cabaret Club, presented in traditional cabaret set-up, perfect for socialising with a glass in hand; or join us for an unforgettable evening of glitz and glamour with the unparalleled Craig Revel Horwood (darling!) for his All Balls and Glitter Tour; and for belly laughs there’s our new monthly Comedy Networks, each month providing a hilarious new line-up. Our dance and theatre offer are sure to get the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end with James Cousins Company showcasing The Next Generation, Folk Dance Remixed returning to Eastleigh with Hope after their appearance at 2021’s Unwrapped Festival. New Old Friends are here with the riotous whodunnit, Crimes Camera Action; our Associate Artist Sophie Ross is ready to dazzle you in Swings and Roundabouts and Johnny Donahoe’s Forgiveness is certain to be both touching and uplifting. We have more than ever on offer for families too with our Bring Your Grown Up events hosting a double dose of Morgan and West and Nick Cope across both venues. We are Here for Half Term at The Berry Theatre with some gorgeous Long Nose Puppets to Hug and our new Too Good Tuesdays welcome back the beautiful Wonder Gigs and other treats for pre-schoolers. It’s never too early to think about Christmas (or at least according to my mum!) so we are offering you the chance to book our amazing Christmas show for 2022, Kipper’s Snowy Day, with a special early bird offer until the end of January. We also want to invite you to have Your Turn and to enjoy the opportunity to be creative and social via our programme of classes and courses, for all ages and all experience levels. Finally, we want to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to make your visit to our events safe and enjoyable. You will notice that where possible, we have offered opportunities to sit in socially distanced areas of our auditorium if you would prefer. Thank you so much for your continued support by visiting, by becoming a Friend and by donating. We love sharing experiences with you.

Set amongst the dive bars and jazz ‘juke’ joints of London’s Soho, we hear about the desperate hand-to-mouth finances of the early years and the frequent police raids. We hear how Ronnie’s became neutral ground within rife gang territory and their scrapes with gangsters including the Krays who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie and Pete ‘for a little drive’! Mixing classic music from the jazz greats who have performed at Ronnie Scott’s, alongside tales of old Soho, miscreant musicians and police raids, this is a unique evening celebrating one of the world’s most famous jazz venues, its music, and history.
