Over The Rainbow tells the poignant and moving story of singer Eva Cassidy journeying through her life, from her idyllic childhood growing up in a musical family, to her studio work with boyfriend and mentor Chris Biondo, to the exuberant live recording of Blues Alley and finally to her tragically premature death at the age of just 33 years. Her interpretations have received accolades from Roberta Flack, Mick Fleetwood and Sting, and her album Imagine went straight to No 1, ahead of international singing stars Robbie Williams and Beyonce, making her the only female artist with three posthumous No 1 albums.This sad but uplifting love story features over 27 of her best loved songs, recreated by a multi-talented cast of West End performers and includes a haunting interpretation of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. More than the inspirational life story of Eva Cassidy, this is a show for anyone who has lost someone they love.7.30PM TICKETS £18.50 £16.50 + £2.00 credit/debit cardsMORE INFO: www.theatre-productions.com

DAVE GORMANSIT DOWN, PEDAL, PEDAL, STOP AND STAND UP TOURLast year, Dave Gorman set off on a unique national tour. The intention: to cycle over 1500 miles across Britain in 33 days . . . with a gig each night. I suppose that explains the title. But demand for the show has been so high that he’s decided to keep performing it . . . but this time without cycling from venue to venue. He’s obviously getting lazy. So now only the last bit of the title makes sense. But look at it from his point of view. Same show, fewer blisters. What would you do?

THE STRANGLERSFirst forming in 1974, The Stranglers’ straight talking approach gave them the reputation as aggressive and confrontational with their notoriety later embraced by the punk movement of 1977. This led to their debut single Grip and their legendary first album Rattus Norvegicus. This was followed by

such hits as Peaches, No More Heroes, 5 Minutes, Duchess, Something Better Change, Always The Sun and their ultimate classic Golden Brown. Since then the band have gone on to become one of the UK’s best loved and most enduring bands – racking up over 24 top 40 singles and 18 Top 40 albums. Hugely influential, The Stranglers remain pioneers with their unique sound.
