A Funny Valentine - The Story & Music of Chet Baker
22 February 8:30 PM
Four Four Time 09
It’s 1961 and Chet Baker is in jail in Lucca. Voted best trumpet player in the world only five years before – now he’s doing time in an Italian jail for drug offences. Italians strolling around the town walls stop and listen to the sound of Chet’s golden trumpet wafting through the prison bars. Chet shared his prison cell with a storyteller. The storyteller became his friend. 28 years later, Chet shared a hotel room in Amsterdam with his friend. That was the night Chet Baker died. Only the storyteller knows what really happened. He knows the whole story – and now he’s telling it.
With live music on stage arranged and performed by Colin Steele (trumpet) and Dave Milligan (piano) this is an unforgettable evening of jazz, junk, and genius! Read more about this event … or
The Bootleg 60s
24 February 7:30 PM
The Bootleg Sixties is a sight & sound show which takes you on an unforgettable 2-hour journey with the songs, stars and images of pop’s greatest decade. It stars The Overtures, one of the finest exponents of 60s music in the world today … end of story. They count Sir Elton John as a fan (he booked them to be the main act at his star-studded wedding). The Overtures are light years from being just another covers band … what they bring to the stage is a true representation of the power and glory of the cream of 60s music. Featuring three screens, lightshow, special guests and, of course, the fantastic Overtures, this show is a must for all 60s fans. Read more about this event … or

Live/Wire
27 February 7:30 PM
The AC/DC show with a big difference – both the Bon Scott & Brian Johnson eras of the band are portrayed by two different singers, in the same explosive, two-hour-plus concert.
The band bring the full size ‘DC show to the fore, complete with the Cannons, the Hell’s Bell, the walkways and the backdrops & drapes. Add a rock hard rhythm section and ‘Angus Lorne’ cutting the rug as Angus Young and it’s a no-brainer as to why this band is the hardest working in the UK of its kind. You’ll hear all the classics from Whole Lotta Rosie and Highway To Hell to Thunderstruck & Back In Black. There are no cutting corners with Live/Wire – it’s the full-on show – close your eyes, you hear AC/DC; open your eyes, you see AC/DC! Read more about this event … or
