After 38 incredible years, rock & roll music is truly alive and kicking in the hands of this amazing band.http://www.sefton.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=6228“We rock as an edgy blues electric duo. There is definitely Americana roots and country in the show but the overall sound is a dirty bluesy one. They are all my original tunes and Jason is off the charts as a guitar player. I think it may possibly blow people's minds.” Romi, on her new live show If Keith Richards, Joan Jett and Ray Charles could somehow spawn a love child, it’d be Romi Mayes (suitably pronounced RAW-ME). Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, and renowned as one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today, Mayes has chipped away at the rock and roll stone over the past couple of decades, and now, this Juno nominated, CFMA nominated, four time WCMA award winner, has done it again.http://www.sefton.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=6228FREE ENTRY, 21 different stalls, most items are hand-crafted and/or bespoke, and made by the stallholders themselves.

Two very different shows for the price of one. After an unhinged heckle on opening night in San Francisco, Monkey Poet resorts to beer. Then the evening gets odder when Dylan Thomas buys him a drink and takes him to a party... Vividly bringing to life Homer, Shelley, Shakespeare, Burns, Byron, Bukowski, Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, Ginsberg and Gil Scott Heron, Murder Mystery is fast paced and funny as hell. Monkey Poet then morphs into a radical stand up for the second act dealing with democracy, religion, homo and xeno phobia's, and the terrifying day Dad took the stabilisers off the bike.http://www.sefton.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=6228Adapted from the wonderful, heart-warming story by Jonathan Emmett with beautiful illustrations by Rebecca Harry, Topsy Turvy Theatre effortlessly brings to life the tale of a little duckling struggling to find her feet.

Using live theatre, stunning scenery, beautiful handmade puppets and original music, our talented and experienced performers tell the story of how Ruby grew up... in her own time. Topsy Turvy is high energy, fast paced and visually captivating theatre. Instead of passively watching, our audiences are invited to take us by the hand and join us on our adventure as we tell the story of Ruby.
