Over the last few years Fleetwood Bac has received rave reviews from ‘The Stage’ newspaper, the U.K's leading Fleetwood Mac fansites, the official Stevie Nicks website, and from ecstatic audiences wherever the band played, wowing audiences as far afield as Dubai, St. Tropez, the Cayman Islands and Monte Carlo, and twice selling out the world-famous Minack Theatre in Cornwall.
Fleetwood Bac has also been rated by The Times newspaper as one of the U.K.’s top 5 tributes, alongside The Bootleg Beatles, Bjorn Again and the Counterfeit Stones.
Fans include original Mac bassist and biographer Bob Brunning, who joined the band several times on stage, and Peter Green’s official biographer Martin Celmins.
The sound, the look, the mystical atmosphere and on-stage chemistry are all portrayed with the passion and energy that got the seal of approval from ‘Big Daddy’ Mick, and built up an excellent reputation amongst Mac fans through numerous tours, festival appearances, corporate events and TV and radio slots all over the U.K. and Europe.

Inspired by the beloved children’s show Sesame Street, Avenue Q creates a puppet-filled world that is a little more reflective of the difficult, R-rated realities that we face when we learn that real life isn’t as simple as we dreamed it might be, but perhaps, suggests Avenue Q, life is all the more colorful and worthwhile for it.

Please note: Despite featuring puppets, Avenue Q is R-rated, featuring adult topics, offensive language, and an onstage portrayal of puppet sex and is not suitable for children.

Remarkably compelling, amazingly detailed and always humorous.

The popular star of TV’s Street Psychic, Psychic Private Eyes and Psychic Academy, Tony Stockwell has a long established credibility as one of the top Intuitive Mediums and has shared the stage all round the world with international mediums such as Colin Fry, James van Praagh and Lisa Williams. Tony demonstrates his belief that those who have passed can communicate with their loved ones with detailed messages frequently including names, dates and locations and all delivered with emotion, sensitivity and empathy. The evening may include psychometry, photographs readings and psychic prediction.

Recent legislative guidelines insist that any Evening of Mediumship should be billed ‘for entertainment purposes’. Tony certainly uses his natural wit, showmanship and Cockney charisma to entertain but more important, Mediumship has the potential to change someone’s life and instill in them a sense of peace, comfort and purpose. We hope that nobody can fail to come away untouched by the experience.

MUSTN'T GRUMBLE...
Comedy Favourites The Grumbleweeds return
Having already chalked up nearly 60 years in showbiz, comedy veterans The Grumbleweeds continue to delight audiences around the globe and they return to Bacup Royal Court Theatre on Saturday 11th September 2021 after two hugely popular shows at the theatre in 2017 and 2018.
The Grumbleweeds phenomenon began in 1962 with a bunch of lads from Leeds. Over the years, the act grew to dominate the UK live comedy circuit and ended up with countless TV and Radio series to boot. “The popularity of the act has never really gone away” reflects founder member Robin Colvill. “When we weren't on TV or on the radio, we were busy in the theatres, cabaret clubs or on cruise ships.” He adds “It's just never really slowed down. It works equally well with family audiences, summer shows or theatres, both at home and abroad”
It's a timeless mix of comedy, impressions and visual gags that have kept the act fresh and, above all else, popular with the British public.
“The response to the act is as good as it ever was”, says Grumbleweed, James Brandon. “We've kept on adding to and updating the show over the years, keeping all the classic routines, and adding new ones, making sure it's all current, up to date... and above all else funny! I guess that's why it continues to play to huge laughs wherever we go. If there's a secret to its longevity then that has to be it”
The show has received praise throughout the theatrical world, earning the lads the right to call themselves 'The Guv'nors of live comedy'. Catch the show live at Bacup Royal Court Theatre on Saturday 11th September 2021.
