tunes local to the area. A great night
is guaranteed! Tickets: £7 (£5 concessions)
Saturday 2 March 8pm New Jazz 5
presents Marlene Ver PlanckMarlene VerPlanck returns to the Drill Hall for an
unmissable evening of jazz standards. She has almost everything one could ask
for in a singer of classic American songs: a gorgeous sound, a solid
understanding of words and story and a sure and steady feel for rhythm. In her
early career she worked as a backing singer for Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and
Tony Bennett, emerging as a leading solo performer in the 1970s, playing
Carnegie Hall to rave reviews.
‘She may be the
most accomplished interpreter of popular material performing
today...interpretive sensitivity and perceptive choice of songs that can be
matched only by a handful of singers.’ New York Times. Tickets: £14 (£12
concessions / £7 students)
Friday 8
March 7.30pm The
Twist
The Twist, an
electrifying West End-style show bringing you the greatest musical stars of the
50’s and 60’s. Elvis, Dusty, Buddy Holly, Connie Francis, Billy Fury, Petula
Clark, Eddie Cochran and Brenda Lee. Take a nostalgic trip back in time with
this spectacular, vibrant, non-stop rockin’ show. Live band, dancers, comedy and
incredibly authentic vocals.
Set in an American
Diner, Tony ‘the hair’ Tremendo runs the diner in his own calamitous way while
his bubbly waitresses, the Twistettes bring laughter and dance to a vocal
line-up that features over 30 songs.
Tickets:
£22 (£18)
Saturday 9 March 8pm Gabby Young
& Other Animals
The 7-piece Gabby Young and Other Animals was formed in
2008 and the band’s sound & look is as original as it is amazing. Young’s
style combines Balkan brass, jazz and swing in a sound that has been
affectionately dubbed Circus Swing. As famous for her extravagant costumes as
for her soulful voice, her flamboyant show has been likened to Florence + the
Machine and Paloma Faith, while her classically trained voice has been likened
to that of Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Imogen Heap. This tour is to promote her
second album, which is filled with often unexpectedly thoughtful, sophisticated
songs that continually switch direction, from cool guitar, accordion or
piano-backed balladry to furious trumpet and trombone-backed
workouts.
‘We are playing
this a lot because we love it. She is terrific live, a really big wall of
sound”. Graham Norton BBC Radio 2 Support TBC Tickets: £10 adv (£12 on the
day)
Saturday 16 March 8pm St Patrick’s
Night with The Hooleys & friends
The definition of a Hooley is ‘to meet secretly at the homes of friends and
family to drink, sing and play music.’ Preferring to bring the party into
more public places, local musical legends The Hooleys return to the Drill Hall
for another night of raw Celtic and European musical passion! Join us for the
best way to celebrate Patrick’s Night…. but don't forget to bring your dancing
shoes! Tickets: £8 in advance (£10 on the day)
Thursday 21

Lantern
Mr Keith

sound that recalls Beck, Jeff Buckley and The National, The Moth Lantern are
Dan, Jason, Joanne and Eddie from Lincoln. The Moth Lantern was recently
featured on Radio 1's One Music website: "Downbeat but gloriously wonderful acoustic
pop with a cinematic edge, The Moth Lantern are a beguiling proposition."

Robinson, BBC6 Music Support TBC.
Tickets:
£6
Friday 22
March 8pm Whole Lotta Led
After 12 years with the same line up (and having just
beaten the length of time Led Zeppelin were together), Whole Lotta Led have
undergone a change in line-up. Joining the band on drums is Charlie Hart, a
gifted musician who has long admired John Bonham's drum style and new vocalist,
Lee Pryor, who effortlessly reproduces Robert Plants amazing vocals & David
Wykeham-George who, as well as playing keyboards, will also be contributing
guitar and backing vocals. Don't worry though, founder members Nick Ferris
(guitar) and Geoff Hunt (bass) are still there, continuing the legacy and
ensuring the standard of performance is as high as it can be. If you haven't
seen the band before you'll be well impressed and if you have seen the old band,
come and witness the amazing changes.
Whole Lotta Led just gotta Whole Lot Better.
Tickets: £12.50 adv (£14.50 on the
day)
