James Kirby – Legends

Comments Off on James Kirby – Legends

Hailing from North East Lincolnshire, pianist James Kirby appears as recitalist and concerto soloist throughout the UK, Europe, and the Far East. A delightful and engaging artist, his musical brilliance was clearly identified at his 1991 Wigmore debut concert, “The piano recital given at Wigmore Hall by James Kirby revealed a musician as well as a pianist. Here was one who used a superb technique not for its own ends but as the key to exploring the innermost secrets of whatever he played. For him the composer’s inner imaginative world counts for much more than the external trappings with which the music is clothed. Musical Opinion”

James’ programme will showcase the music of legends – giants of composition, namely Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert and Liszt.

Tickets can be purchased on the door; details of concessions can be found on the Society Website. It is recommended that you arrive by 7:15pm.

What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Comments Off on What’s Love Got To Do With It?

After a sensational 2025 that saw over 60,000 Tina Turner fans across the UK singing, dancing, and having the time of their lives, What’s Love Got To Do With It? is back and bigger than ever for 2026! This electrifying tribute show celebrates the music and unparalleled career of the one and only Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of high-energy, feel-good rock and soul, brought to life by a phenomenal live band. Packed with all the classic hits you know and love, the show delivers showstopping performances of Proud Mary, River Deep – Mountain High, Simply The Best, Private Dancer, Nutbush City Limits, and many more.

Stepping into Tina’s iconic heels is Kent’s own Holly Bannis, the daughter of Greg Bannis, former lead singer of Hot Chocolate. Holly’s rise to center stage is as inspiring as it is exciting. Growing up in a musical family, Holly honed her craft for over a decade performing semi-professionally before an audition on ITV’s Starstruck changed her life. “I had to
audition as three of my musical icons, and Tina was an obvious choice for me. During lockdown, I studied her performances obsessively, getting into her moves, her walk, and her energy.”

It wasn’t long before the team behind What’s Love Got To Do With It? noticed Holly’s raw talent and passion. Initially cast as a backing singer and understudy, Holly quickly stepped into the spotlight, making the lead role her own and earning standing ovations night after night.

Audiences can expect a show bursting with energy, emotion, and that signature Tina fire. The production kicks off with hits like Private Dancer, as Holly fully inhabits Tina’s powerful vocals and unmistakable moves, transporting fans to the heart of a live Tina Turner concert experience. Then, in the show-stopping second half, the audience is guaranteed to be on their feet, dancing and singing along to high-octane classics like Nutbush City Limits.

What’s Love Got To Do With It? isn’t just a concert – it’s a celebration of Tina Turner’s legacy, a night of unrelenting joy, and a tribute to one of the most electrifying performers in music history.

Please note that this is a tribute production and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Tina Turner Estate.

Nirvana Tribute

Comments Off on Nirvana Tribute
Saturday 7th November 2026
Doors 7pm | Curfew 11pm
Ages 14+ (U18s to be accompanied)
Advance Tickets | £20 + Fees

The audience for this show will be standing

This world-renowned tribute has toured in more than a dozen countries across North America, Europe and Asia, and has won over fans and received high praise from audiences and critics alike.

Despite disbanding in 1994 following the tragic passing of frontman Kurt Cobain, Nirvana have remained a staple of music and continues to influence the music world even nearly 30 years after their disbandment. Songs like ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, ‘Come as You Are’, ‘Lithium’, and ‘Heart Shaped Box’ have all been picked up by new generations of fans and cherished by those who were around during the late ’80s and into the ’90s when Nirvana dominated the world of music.

Their authentic take on Nirvana is fronted by Jon O’Connor, who faithfully assumes the role of Kurt Cobain and captivates audiences from the get-go. They’ve even caught the attention of Nirvana’s original Drummer, Aaron Burckhard, who’s given them his approval, stating that they are “the closest to the real thing”. Nirvana Tribute carefully respects and continues the legacy of one of the most beloved bands of all time.

“The closest you will ever come to hearing Cobain’s voice in person” – Loudwire

“Nirvana Tribute took stage & tore the roof off” – KERRANG!
