GRAB YOUR ‘HANDBAGS & GLADRAGS’
SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK – THE ROD STEWART STORY IS BACK

---

This outstanding production brings to the stage an incredible live concert celebrating one of the most influential icons, Rod Stewart. Widely acknowledged as the UK’s best, front man Paul Metcalfe and live band take you on a musical journey that spans six decades from humble beginnings in the R ‘n B clubs to world-famous rock sensation. Paul explained: “Rod’s music brings back a lot of memories for people, and everyone can remember the first time they heard Maggie May. Rod has such an amazing back catalogue of songs and such variety as well. Wonderful ballads, joyful upbeat songs and some great rockers.”

From his early rock anthems like ‘Maggie May’ and ‘Stay With Me’ to the smooth ballads such as ‘The First Cut is The Deepest’ and ‘You’re in My Heart’, every song is performed with passion and precision. The electrifying showmanship, authentic costumes and dynamic live musicians will have you singing and dancing all night!
Paul added: “I feel very lucky that other people seem to love it as well. When I’m on stage I go into another world and do things I wouldn’t normally dream of doing. The show has come on massively since we started. The music, the lighting, the set and the video backdrops have all come on a lot. Fortunately, the audience seems to agree.”
It promises an unforgettable evening of entertainment and a whole lot of fun!

BADNESS

“BADNESS” formed in July 1994 and quickly became one of the top Madness tribute bands & Ska / 2Tone revival bands in the country. Within six months the band were selling out various venues across the U.K. & Eire. Originally a seven piece outfit consisting of ; guitar, bass, drums, sax, trumpet, keyboards and vocals. They soon became six, with front man and vocalist (only original member) taking over on the trumpet (but not at the same time!).

Playing classic Madness, Bad Manners and The Specials, to name but a few. “BADNESS” also play a few of their own songs, written with input from every member of the band. “Trojan Horse” is an instrumental and is much like an old ska classic. With tours of Israel, Germany and Spain under their belts, and having played every town & city in the U.K. (well almost!) “BADNESS” have built up a cult following and regularly sell out venues across the country.

Re-live the “Dance Crazy” days of the late 70’s & early 80’s with the No.1 SKA revival band in the U.K. But be prepared to “Enjoy yourself” ~ It’ll be a Hot & Sweaty one!
