Caird Hall Saturday 23 November 2013

For lovers of Sixties music, this is the ultimate, and probably never to be repeated, line-up. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of when it all began.

Featuring record breaking Merseybeat band Gerry & The Pacemakers. The second Liverpool band to chart (after The Beatles), but the first to reach No. 1 and the first act ever to top the charts with their first three singles.

Also from Liverpool and tipped to be as big as The Beatles, The Searchers’ first single also went to No. 1 and led to five more Top 5 hits and a total of 128 weeks in the charts.

PJ Proby was a Melody Maker teen idol award winner in 1964 and spent 91 weeks in the charts.

The Fortunes stormed the Top 10 with You’ve Got Your Troubles, Here It Comes Again, Freedom Come Freedom Go and Storm in a Teacup.

And finally, Brian Poole and Chip Hawkes the original lead singers of the Tremeloes performing all the hits such as ‘Here comes my baby and Silence is golden’.

Ardal O’Hanlon

Caird Hall Sunday 17 November 2013

Ardal O’Hanlon is delighted to present his latest stand-up show. The style is observational, the subject matter is Life itself, and the default expression is one of utter disbelief! This show could have been called “The Shit I’ve to Put up with!” or “Why, oh why?” or even “Multiples of Ha” but no one name would do it justice. It’s that ineffable!

Lurking beneath Ardal’s mild-mannered demeanour resides a sharp and probing (and fairly mild-mannered) comic brain. Sometimes thoughtful, sometimes silly, but always punchy, he has tickled audiences all over the world. In a comprehensive set, he talks about not just the things that matter but also about the things that don’t matter at all. Which covers pretty much everything.

Although best known for his starring roles in the sitcoms, Father Ted (for which he won a British Comedy Award and a BAFTA nomination) and My Hero, Ardal’s other TV comedy dramas include Big Bad World, Blessed, Skins and Dr Who. He has appeared on his own Dave’s One Night Stand and more recently on Live At The Apollo and Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow. Ardal has even found the time to write a book, his best-selling novel Talk Of The Town features in the book list ‘1001 books to read before you die’

However it is as a stand-up comedian where Ardal’s true vocation lies. He sees his role in life as ‘highlighting the ridiculous.’ Avoiding the overly crass and the obvious, his only interest is the truth…if there is such a thing.
