TICKETS £12. BAR OPENS 7PM. ENTERTAINMENT FROM 8PM.

FOOD AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE. CHEAP ACCOMMODATION ALSO AVAILABLE. TO BOOK (AVOIDING BOOKING FEES) PLEASE CALL 01626 325 800.

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS OVER 18’S ONLY AND LIKELY TO CONTAIN ADULT LANGUAGE AND HUMOUR.

Hannahs at Seale-Hayne (just outside Newton Abbot) is building up a reputation for offering some of the most fun and dynamic events across the region. The regular comedy nights are the busiest in the south west and over the past three years the team have welcomed everyone from Mark Watson to Joel Dommett and Bobby Mair to The Noise Next Door. Big Red Live is an excellent venue for comedy, seating up to 180 people, while there’s a Bistro on site for some pre-entertainment nourishment and a range of affordable accommodation, should you plan on making a night of it!

January’s beat the January Blues Special (Friday 27 January) stars George Egg, who has been described as “a Tommy Cooper for the 21st Century” and you can certainly expect a true cross between alternative stand-up comedy and music hall variety.

He’s recently been the support act for Lee Mack, Mickey Flannagan and Jack Dee and you’ll be eagerly wondering what ridiculous prop he is going to pull out of “the world’s second largest briefcase” next...

Also taking to the stage is Tom Houghton, who is 1/5th of the brilliant Noise Next Door improv group. Boasting a degree in stand-up comedy (who knew there was such a thing...) expect cheeky charm, and

musical madness from this rising star of the circuit. He’ll be joined by Devon-born ex-Butlin’s Redcoat Suzy Bennett who has been entertaining audiences with her saucy routines since “accidentally” reaching the finals of Jimmy Carr’s Comedy Idol on her first gig. As well as supporting Jimmy on his “Gag Reflex” tour, she is also the host of the Playtex Moonwalk in Hyde Park where she entertains 17,000 people wearing a novelty bra. The whole night is held together by resident host Richard James and all for just £12.

Look out for a whole host of other events coming to Hannahs this spring including quiz nights, wine tasting, dinner talks, live music, art exhibitions and murder mystery events. Keep an eye on www.discoverhannahs.org/events for more information .

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”.

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

BUCKLAND ATHLETIC FC More than just a football club ....

Those who have visited Homers Heath will know that Buckland Athletic is more than just a football club.

Since its formation in 1977 with only junior teams, the club has been slowing developing, and is now an established part of the local community with plans to develop further over the coming years.

Off the pitch, the superb clubhouse facilities are regularly used to host wedding receptions, corporate events and charity days, as well as annual events such as our fireworks evening which attracted several thousand of people in November this year. As any sports club will know, they are nothing without volunteers, and Buckland has an army of them waiting to give you a warm welcome when you visit.

If you have an upcoming event which requires a venue, or if you wish to become a matchday sponsor, choosing man of the match, please contact John Piller on 07836 774048 or the club house on the number below.

A NIGHT AT THE CASINO

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.

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.
