The Bootleg Beatles are delighted to announce their December 2016 tour of the UK – the band along with their renowned string and brass ensemble will visit fifteen cities, tickets are available now from www. ticketmaster.co.uk. Since their inception in 1980 the band have performed hundreds of gigs across the globe, earning themselves an amazing reputation along the way. The late George Martin himself described the Bootleg Beatles experience as “A terrific show”, whilst the Mail On Sunday hailed their “Mind-boggling accuracy”.
music and proved that the band were not only incredible songwriters but also true innovators in the studio. Songs from that album – certified five times Platinum feature heavily in The Bootlegs Beatles set and will of course receive an airing on these December dates. ’66 was also the year of the Fab Four’s final public show in Candlestick Park, San Fran. Tickets can be booked online through www.ticketmaster.co.uk (all tickets subject to a booking fee).
Formed from the original cast of London’s West End hit show ‘Beatlemania’, The Bootleg Beatles have become ‘an institution’ in their own right with their noteperfect recreation of hits from every era of the world’s most famous songbook. Every tiny detail is meticulously covered from costumes to authentic period instruments; from the ‘Liverpudlian’ banter to their ‘inflection perfect’ vocal mimicry. But it’s not only their sound that is so authentic; they bear an uncanny resemblance to the Fab Four. As one reviewer recently said... “It’s not John Paul George and Ringo ... but you simply won’t believe it”. 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the milestone album ‘Revolver’ by The Beatles, widely acknowledged as the record that redrew the map of popular

UK TOUR MARCH 2017 Live Nation is proud to announce that the mighty Thunder will be undertaking a UK tour in March 2017. Tickets are now sale from www.livenation.co.uk or www. ticketmaster.co.uk. These hotly anticipated dates will of course be packed with many of the hits from the band’s stellar history, but also tracks from their follow up to the 2015 Top Ten hit album ‘Wonder Days’, which was described by Classic Rock as, “Brilliant…a massive reminder that class is both timeless and incandescent”. The as-yet-untitled album is due to be released in February 2017. Since forming in 1989, the Londoners have established themselves among the UK’s most consistent attractions, notching up some twenty Top Fifty singles and cultivating a well-deserved reputation as consummate live performers. Having been feted by Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith and Whitesnake’s David Coverdale, their first two albums, ‘Back Street Symphony’ (1990) and ‘Laughing On Judgement Day’ (1992), both were certified Gold in the UK. With a lineage dating back to the cream of British hard rock – Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Who and Deep Purple – and songwriting greats such as the Kinks, The Beatles and The Faces, the band’s sound is a timeless marriage of unforgettable melodies and sheer rock power.

Frontman Danny Bowes said, “After the arena shows in 2015 and 2016, we decided when we played the UK again, it would be great to take it back to where people live, and this is our longest UK tour for years. We’re looking forward to playing in theatres again, and of course the new album will be out by then, so I’ll be relying on the fans to learn all the words, mostly so they can remind me when I muck them up”. 13

wellbeing
We have been described as Paignton’s best kept secret, a tiny front door leads to a large clinic boasting 19 therapists offering a range of services. The clinic started due to my need to pass clients on to other therapists when I had taken them as far as possible and what better way to do it than under one roof. We live in a world where we spend a lot of time and money on leisure pursuits we spend very little time on our own health. Why not take a look at what we have to offer.

“TURN AGAIN WHITTINGTON – TO THE PALACE THEATRE, PAIGNTON,” said the bells and so this Christmas Dick will be back with his trusted feline companion to do battle with the dastardly King Rat for the control of London.
So make sure you join Dick Whittington and his cat on their funfilled quest for fame and fortune. Will they find the streets of London paved with gold? Will Dick win the hand of the lovely Alice? Will he defeat the nasty and horrible King Rat?
Dick Whittington is the classic tale of rags to riches and features all the traditional pantomime ingredients; a gripping story, sensational songs, a live band, fabulous costumes, dazzling dance routines, slapstick comedy and bags of audience participation.
To find out the answers and much more in this fabulous value for money Christmas treat pop along to the box office or just pick up the telephone and dial the Palace Theatre Box Office on 01803 665800 to book your seats. Due to the phenomenal success of last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk a 14th performance has been added so DON’T DELAY – BOOK TODAY.
In 2014 PPP was awarded “Best Pantomime Production” in the South West by the National Operatic and Dramatic Association and was nominated for the same award in 2015. This year with a bigger budget there are even more innovations planned to make this South Devon’s theatrical event of the Christmas period. Adults £13.00 Senior Conc’ £12.00
Dick Whittington runs from the 18th December to the 2nd January at various times.
