Old Friends: Together and Apart. As seen on BBC The One Show! The Sounds of Simon is a tribute to the wonderful music of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, through the years as Simon and Garfunkel, to the successes of both their solo careers. Explore the friendship that led to songs such as Mrs Robinson, The Sounds of Silence and of course, Bridge Over Troubled Water. The full band will also take you through the pair's solo careers, with songs such as You Can Call Me Al, Graceland, and Art's smash hit, Bright Eyes. Paul and Art are played to perfection, bringing in elements of their famously fractious relationship, as well as replicating the beautiful harmonies flawlessly. With video clips, stories, and memories from the last 50+ years, this is a wonderful show filled with excellent music, nostalgia, and a genuine love for some great musicians. This is the UK's longest running tribute to Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Come and see why!

Much Ado About Falstaff

Much Ado About Falstaff

24 Apr 2026 - 24 Apr 2026

A hilarious new play about Sir John Falstaff a rogue, a philanderer and a glutton, but also one of Shakespeares greatest and enduring comic creations. In this new comedy written by Simon Downing we find Falstaff, played by Giles Shenton ( Old Herbaceous & Three Men in a Boat ) in his bedroom in the Boars Head being nursed by Mistress Quickly played by Georgie Taylor & Rosie Pickering. The creditors arrive demanding payment. Will Falstaff resort to marrying Mistress Quickly in order to pay off his debts? Will he turn teetotal? Will he mellow in his old age? Find out the answers to all these important questions that Shakespeare never bothered to answer and join Falstaff and Mistress Quickly for an evening of jollity, frivolity, a definite lack of coequality and more Shakespearean insults than ever previously heard on a theatrical stage! The play originally opened in Feb 2020 with most touring dates cancelled due to Covid... but Flastaff is now ready to be unleashed upon the masses once again!
