Somewhere in a parallel universe little Alfie’s natural comedic performance skills were recognised by his doting parents who encouraged and developed his blossoming talent. After several years as a stage school brat Alfie’s angelic face was launched on stage and screen and the rest is history. Meanwhile, in this universe Alfie Moore was told to stop messing about in class before being ‘encouraged’ into the grinding, grimy world of an apprenticeship in the Sheffield steelworks. When recession hit he traded steel for copper by joining Humberside Police. In his 40s the two universes collided when Alfie made a bid for showbiz success – but unfortunately 30 years of shift-work and being punched in the face quite a lot, had left him with ‘a face for radio’. A face not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by a settlement of squatters with little regard to property maintenance and repair. This is the true story of ‘Fair Cop’ Alfie’s big plan to transition from the BBC radio waves to TV star. Could it be done? Or had Father Time decided that his time had passed?

As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century, bestselling author and award-winning broadcaster Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he regards as the greatest invention of the modern age. How did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire? Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas – the times he was accused by the media of trying to annex Rockall from the British government and sang sea shanties with Tom Hardy in a Manx hotel bar while Scary Spice pulled the pints - and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement. Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies worldwide, this pacy, moving and hilarious show takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland to ensure the shipping forecast will never sound the same again. “Charlie Connelly is one of the funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of sitting in a studio with…He has a natural wit that doesn’t get crushed by an over-zealous ego with a lovely personality attached to it.” Fi Glover, broadcaster “Charlie is always warm, funny and engaging…I actually sent him a fan letter - and I've never done that to anyone in my life before.” Bernard Sumner, New Order “I can thoroughly recommend an evening spent in the company of the very funny and very lovely Charlie Connelly whose knowledge of what I call ‘the ships’ is excellent. Sou’westers optional.” Corrie Corfield, BBC Radio 4

The growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be heard as is the dual vocal 'attack' from the two frontmen a-la Burnel/Cornwell as they rip through the Stranglers classic: 'Peaches', 'Hanging Around', 'No More Heroes', '5 Minutes', 'The Raven', 'Walk on By', 'Straighten Out', 'Down In The Sewer' and many more as they cover the Stranglers' early classic albums and beyond. Straighten Out will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back to those raw, powerful, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged through the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest music ever written. Straighten Out will put you back in that place! Bassist Shaggy and keyboard player Mick ('The Doc') were together in previous Stranglers tribute band 'Four More Heroes' and it was only natural that these two continued on after their demise to form 'Straighten Out' given their love of Stranglers music and the desire to keep playing live. They set the platform with the growling bass and swirling keyboard sound so essential to reproducing the authentic Stranglers sound. Joining them are Jet Beets on drums and Phil on guitar - providing the 'Hugh' element - to complete the fearsome foursome. Straighten Out are a must-see tribute band!

This performance is not suitable for audiences under the age of 14 "A richly entertaining account of tragic theatre accidents and murders most foul. If theatre walls could talk, what secrets would they reveal? Chris Wood provides fascinating answers with tales of brawling ushers, murderously jealous husbands, stampeding crowds and infant tragedies. A meticulously researched and vivid collection of lives lost in the palaces of dreams. A must-read for all lovers of the theatre, providing shocks and gasps of horror when real life proves to be more dramatic than any play on stage." - Hugh Bonneville. "Immaculately researched and beautifully macabre. This is a real treat for anyone who is either a fan of the theatre or of untimely deaths. I loved it!" - Peter James Britains theatrical wonderland has been a cornerstone of culture for centuries, delighting and thrilling audiences with an assemblage of exhilarating spectacles. Beyond the trodden boards, and tucked neatly behind the curtain however, lies a catalogue of real life destruction and grisly murder that our greatest tragedians would surely be proud to have presided over. Tread the bloodied boards of Britains theatres and witness the deathly dramas that have played out so dramatically within them.. Death in the Theatre collects an astonishing selection of startling tragedies from Britains throng of theatres. There is something especially staggering when the player exits life on their adorned stage, and yet, with this by no means an infrequent occurrence, death has made many a fearful cameo appearance stalking the stalls and grimly reaping the galleries in its macabre and relentless fashion. In 1910 a strange midnight tragedy was enacted in a London theatre, where the brutal murder of an elderly stage carpenter prompted huge excitement among the theatre-going world and indeed wider public. How did a childrens magic show descend into such unspeakable horror that would leave 183 youngsters dead in a Sunderland theatre, their tiny bodies brutally laid out in the dress circle for the bleakest of identity parades? Learn of outrageous tragedy such as the young man mauled to death by a lion in a Gloucester theatre, and the unfortunate victim killed in the Dumfries Theatre Royal quite literally by the limelight.

A RocknRoll Circus is coming to town everything seems to be ready... is everyone ready? A tribute to The Rolling Stones focusing on the early part of their career from 1964 - 1969 including Jumping Jack Flash, Paint It Black, Not Fade Away and Satisfaction. They have been described by The Times as better than the real thing and have been revered by both Stones fans for their authenticity and the real Stones who booked them for the bands birthday. With a Rollin Stoned show, the costumes are shamelessly camp gaudy and fab, the instruments genuinely vintage and the wit irreverent. However while the tongue is never far from the cheek we make sure it is never to the detriment of the music. A typical two hour show includes not only all the classic crowd pleasing hits, but is spiced with enough eclectic selections from the deeper recesses of Stones Album archives to satisfy the most demanding of Buffs, all performed with the same vibrantly authentic attack and raw energy that characterised the original Stones shows in their prime. For those who witnessed the Stones - Brian Jones et al - in their hey Day, this is a chance to revisit lost youth, for the rest of you, nows your chance to see what all the fuss was about. Named Best Tribute Band in the UK by The Stage Magazine. Keith Richards own mother, Doris, was kind enough to describe us as outstanding and fit to stand in for the Stones which is about as good an endorsement as any could wish. "....probably more authentic than the Stones themselves would be inclined to muster" The Times "phenomenal... I can't wait to tell Keith and Mick that you could easily stand in for them" Doris Richards (Keith's Mum) "A magnificent Mick... exquisitely designed costumes... spot-on guitar playing" Mail On Sunday "The song selection is what makes a Rollin Stoned show special" Mail On Sunday "...like watching my dad" Keith's daughter Angela "...about as true to the original as you can get." Times Magazine "A magnificent Mick... exquisitely designed costumes... spot-on guitar playing" Mail On Sunday "...Close your eyes! This must be the Stones at their absolute best!!" Brian Jones Fan Club Just like the real thing Rock photographer Gered Mankowitz

Alchemy Live were formed in 2020 by life long Dire Straits fans Martin Ledger and Neil Scott. Having dreamed of starting a Dire Straits tribute band for many years but neither having the time to do it due to both being busy full time musicians, the COVID pandemic and resultant lockdowns gave them that time in abundance. Rehearsals started in 2021 after the worst of the pandemic was over & their first show scheduled in York for Friday the 13th of May 2022 (what could possibly go wrong)? Much to the band's surprise, their inaugural show quickly sold out and many were turned away at the door without tickets. Further sell out shows followed around Yorkshire during the year and in January 2023 the band made their move into theatre shows. "It has always been the ethos to concentrate on getting the music and sound right rather than just putting on headbands and shiny jackets. Dire Straits themselves were always about the music first and we are fully committed to upholding that" says front man Martin Ledger. Every song choice is taken from a specific, classic live performance in Dire Straits' history, for example the show's opening song Money For Nothing is taken from their legendary performance at Live aid in 1985 and played note for note, except for the part where guest artist Sting sings the wrong words in the second verse! Such attention to detail is carried on throughout the band's tribute show, with every nuance of Mark Knopfler's playing technique followed faithfully. "He has these little percussive flourishes in his playing, which are really difficult to recreate but without them it's just not Knopfler" - Martin ledger.

Between 1964 and 1979 Manfred Mann scored three British Number One hits plus two more Number One hits in America plus another seven that went Top 5 and six more that made the Top 10. Over this period Manfred Manns bands featured some of the finest singers on the British pop and rock scene: Paul Jones, Mike dAbo, Mick Rogers and Chris Thompson, all of whom have gone on to enjoy successful and varied solo careers. Their distinctive voices have all added to the rich variety of Manfred Manns classic hits. South African-born Manfred Lubowitz arrived in Britain in 1961. He was already an accomplished jazz pianist and quickly established himself on the London club circuit with drummer Mike Hug with whom he formed the Mann Hug Blues Brothers. In 1963 the band was re-christened Manfred Mann and with a line-up featuring Paul Jones on vocals and harmonica, Mike Vickers on guitar, flute and saxophone, Tom McGuinness on bass and Hug they set their sights on the British pop scene which was about to explode. They may have been a musically well-educated band but there was nothing sophisticated about Manfred Manns first hit the rowdy, frenetic 5-4-3-2-1 that they wrote for the theme song of the groundbreaking TV pop show Ready Steady Go! Boosted by its weekly exposure on the programme the single reached Number 5 early in 1964. Manfred Mann had their first Number One in the summer of that year with Do Wah Diddy Diddy Diddy, written by the famous New York Brill Building song writing duo of Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry. They also found themselves in the vanguard of the British pop invasion of America alongside the Beatles and the Animals (and ahead of the Rolling Stones) as the song shot to the top of the US charts. The band then proceeded to apply their sharp musical talents to other suitable pop songs such as Sha La La (an American hit for the Shirelles), the poignant Come Tomorrow and Oh No Not My Baby (written by another famous Brill Building duo, Carole King and Gerry Goffin) before turning their attention to Bob Dylans If You Gotta Go, Go Now that was a Number 2 hit in the UK and earned the approval of Dylan himself. In April 1966 Manfred Mann notched up their second British Number One with the gorgeous, melodic Pretty Flamingo. Surprisingly it only scraped into the American Top 30 but it left a lasting impression on a teenage Bruce Springsteen who regularly played it live during the early part of his career. Pretty Flamingo was the crowning glory for the first incarnation of Manfred Mann, not least for the personality-driven voice of Paul Jones who decided to bow out on a high note. He launched a solo career and starred in the movie Privilege playing a rock star before becoming one of Britains leading experts and commentators on the blues and R&B. His departure put the groups future in jeopardy but his replacement, the unknown public schoolboy Mike DAbo immediately stamped his own character on the band and the hits flowed seamlessly on Dylans Just Like A Woman, the quirky Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James and Ha! Ha! Said The Clown before racking up their third UK Number One early in 1968 with Dylans Mighty Quinn, an anthemic masterpiece that astonishingly Dylan never released himself. As the Sixties drew to a close Manfred and Mike Hug decided to explore new musical directions and after more Top Ten hits with My Name Is Jack, Fox On The Run and Ragamuffin Man, they disbanded Manfred Mann. The other members soon found new careers in other bands (Tom McGuiness formed McGuinness Flint) or in production. Mike DAbo was already an accomplished songwriter. Manfred and Mike Hug meanwhile embarked on a brief anti-pop career with the self-explanatory Chapter Three, a jazz-rock ensemble complete with a five-piece brass section. that was wilfully uncommercial but musically rewarding. After two albums Mike Hug decided to pursue a career composing soundtracks which notably included Up The Junction. Meanwhile key members of the 60s Manfred Mann line-ups Paul Jones, Mike DAbo, Mike Hugg and Tom McGuinness have banded together and perform as The Manfreds. Such is the enduring legacy of Manfred Mann over the past 40 years. In 2007, Mike dAbo became the proud father of twins, Ellie and Louis, and, for this year, he will be taking some time out to spend with his family. The Manfreds Let Em Roll tour takes to the road with a new album release.aptly titled Let Em Roll.and Mike will join the band for a few festival dates throughout the year before re-joining for their highly acclaimed Maximum Rhythm n Blues UK tour in 2010.

Authentic, unique and full of vitality, a special theatrical experience. Liz Stevenson, Artistic Director, Theatre by the Lake. The Dreamtime Fellrunner is a poetic, fun and moving exploration of Julies running exploits on the Lakeland fells. Julie is an athlete with a physical disability in the form of a developmental disease of the spine. A successful author of poetry and creative non-fiction this is her first theatre show. Presenting fellrunning as a type of land art and spiritual practice this is an aesthetic performance which allows people to experience the beauty of a wonderful sport, regardless of their degree of familiarity with the fells and running. Emphasising body-mind-spirit-place connections, the Dreamtime Fellrunner encounters themes of feminism, land rights, ageism and ableism, history and literature, while carrying us on a journey through the Lakeland fells. The show consists of 60 minutes of immersive performance supported by a soundscape with original music. The shorter, more relaxed second-half features opportunities for discussion and reflection on our personal sources of beauty and connection, whatever they are. In particular it will appeal to anyone interested in wellbeing, body-mind connection and the ways in which we inhabit our environments.
