On sale now, The Smyths.

📆Sat 4th October, 8pm
🔗https://everyonetheatres.com/whats-on/the-smyths-2/
📞01727 844488

For more than twenty years, THE SMYTHS have brought the music of The Smiths back to life in the live arena across more than 900 shows in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand as well as countless festivals including Glastonbury, The Isle of Wight and Bestival. Acclaimed by Johnny Marr (on Radio 6) and Stephen Street (Smiths Producer), rather than employ silly props and clichéd visual tropes The Smyths focus on the live experience of a Smiths show, imagining what The Smiths would sound like today after more than 40 years of playing the songs to several generations of fans; from the teens of then who are Grandparents now, to their children and onto to the teens of today. The music of The Smiths remains as fresh and important as it did at the time of it’s inception. The Smyths re-define what a tribute is, caring less about the silly props choosing to focus on the experiential, the fevered rush of a brilliant band playing the songs of a generation that reverberates and resonates today. For anyone mourning the live absence of the original band, The Smyths are the closest you’ll ever get to being there.

T-Rextasy

📆Fri 31st January, 7.30pm

📞01727 844488

Marc Bolan, with his band T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic stars of the original glam rock era. With Bolan’s special ingredient of Rock-a-Boogie songs, the band had a string of huge hits throughout the 1970s including Love to Boogie, Telegram Sam, Jeepster and 20th Century Boy.

T.Rextasy have now been performing around the world for over 20 years, a career that ironically out lives Marc’s very own T.Rex. The band is now accepted as the world’s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex, and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan’s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex, and Bolan’s catalogue management. The band has been described by many as ‘beyond the boundaries of tribute’.

Truly a rock’n’roll concert for all ages – If you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970s, this show is for you!
