Orphaned pirates, flat footed policemen, a bevy
of blushing maidens and the pretty daughter of
Major General Stanley - all the ingredients for
a fabulous recipe of G & S at their very best.
Sullivan's ever popular and memorable score contains
some of his most beautiful writing as Gilbert,
in his most topsy turvy of all plots, leads us
through the squashbuckling world of young Frederic,
the Pirate apprentice, who was born on February
29th in a leap year and therefore won't be 21
and come of age until he is 84.
Matinee performance on Saturday at 2.30pm.

Simon Amstell
made his name presenting music shows on Channel
4 and Nickelodeon before taking over as host on
BBC’s anarchic music quiz Never Mind The
Buzzcocks. He quickly stamped the show with his
own unique and irreverent personality and went
on to collect two prizes at the British Comedy
Awards. His material is challenging and playful
– delivered with enormous charm and just
a little of the trademark sarcasm we’ve
come to expect. Brilliantly sharp and criminally
funny. (back

HUCKNALL
- TRIBUTE TO BOBBY |
|
|
Saturday 5th July 2008 - 8pm |
|
This summer Mick will release his first solo project
under his own name rather than as Simply Red.
We are delighted to announce that the first album
will be 'Hucknall: Tribute to Bobby' - Bobby being
American singer Bobby Bland who released a lot
of material in the 50's and 60's and had a big
influence on a young Hucknall. For the very first
time Mick is stepping out from Simply Red, and
has announced a new European summer tour to support
his eagerly anticipated debut solo studio album
'Tribute To Bobby', released May 19th. The Bobby
in question is the enormously influential African-
American singer Bobby 'Blue' Bland, sometimes
referred to as the 'Lion of the Blues'. 'Tribute
to Bobby' is a twelve track master class in soul,
blues and R&B and a tribute to one of Hucknall's
most important inspirations and musical idols.
Along with such artists as Sam Cooke, Ray Charles
and Junior Parker, Bland developed a sound that
mixed gospel with blues and R&B. He sang classics
such as big-band blues number 'Farther Up The
Road' (US R&B top 10 hit in 1957) and perfected
his craft in the 1960's with a series of releases
including 'Cry Cry Cry' and 'I Pity The Fool'.
On the album 'Tribute to Bobby' Hucknall's compelling
vocals emphasise the sentiment of each of the
twelve cover songs, whilst masterfully adopting
the songs and making them entirely his own.
