Written with over 50 years of experience ‘That Night in Manchester’ is a brand new theatre production regaling the audience with a nostalgic and often emotional journey through the heady days of the Manchester indie scene. This show will take you on a journey through time, back to the vibrant and exhilarating MADCHESTER era as you follow a father recount his highs and lows through his own personal life and struggles in Manchester during the 70’s 80’s and 90’s to his son. His story is flawlessly recreated and the distinctive sounds of Manchester’s 70's 80’s and 90’s music scene is the backdrop to his life, from the rise of the legendary Haçienda and acid house parties, to Spike Island and Oasis’s iconic concert at Knebworth. The show also includes a behind the scenes, under the skin account of the bands, record companies and iconic venues that made up this pivotal period in music history.

The Joneses - A Tribute to The Smiths

Four individuals driven by the passion for one of the most influential bands of all time, dare to capture the extraordinary diversity of melody and mood in a show that has to be seen to be believed. Beginning life in 2016, The Joneses have played throughout London and Kent to rapturous applause, reminding fans that The Smiths were even more than their incredible records, they were also an electric live band. “If I was a confused, tortured teenager hearing Panic for the first time, I would burn down a disco, I'd probably assassinate the queen, and I would definitely form a group – called The Joneses." Morrissey, 1986.
