Mother Goose
Theatre Severn
28th November 2018-6th January 2019
(For Matinees check brochure)
Take an oversized goose, a man in a frock, a narcissistic baddy, a flying fairy, a bevy of villagers and some hilarious one-liners, put them all together and you’re half way to creating the perfect pantomime. To complete the other half bring in Brad Fitt, Eric Smith,...
Kimber’s Men
Wrecks on the Shore
Released: Autumn 2018
We have talked about Kimber’s Men before with their last CD. The reason being is they are friends of Shrewsbury and have, nationwide following notwithstanding, a large Shropshire fan base. Their new album "Wrecks on the Shore." floated over my desk so I thought I would have a listen and let you know how it fares.

Concord…..Meaning “Hearts Together.” (Miriam Webster)

Mr. Charles Dickens Presents
A Christmas Carol
Walker Theatre
12/November/2018
It is 175 years since Mr. Dickens first put quill to velum to bring us the most favourite story of our great Christmas season. A Christmas Carol. It is hard to believe that a piece of work so relevant and so fresh can be so old, but it is and for all those decades this allegorical tale of...
Poppies For Pals
Tommy, Tony and Tiny had been mates for years back when,
From scruffy lads with bloodied knees to three smart grown young men,
Tommy married Tiny’s Sister, Tiny stood Best Man,
Tony drove the wedding car and ensured they stuck to plan.
Beneath the Lancashire Fell Sides they dug the coal together,
Early mornings they would go in every...
Shropshire Dram Company
Henry V
Walker Theatre
7th -10th November 2018
This review today is not the sort of review you may be used to from me. Indeed the performance is usually spent and what I say, no matter how observant or cutting, can change anything, the ephemeral nature of the performance has gone. Not so this time instead, this is a pre-performance review, a...
To Have To Shoot Irish Men
Walker Theatre
1st November 2018
Well what a mixed bag we have with this show, contrasting styles, conventions and design all went to give slightly less than one initially imagined. This Almanac Arts production of Lizzie Nunnery’s To Have To Shoot Irishmen, has taken hold of a period of Irish History, the Easter uprising of 1916 and contrasted...
Get Your Wigle On
Peter Pan
Wednesday 24th-Saturday 27th October
(Matinee Friday & Saturday 2.30 pm)
Billed as a musical adventure the Wigles tucked into this feast with their usual gusto. Bringing the Michael Jacksonesque lad who won’t grow up, to the stage. A traditional narrative, sticking closely to J.M.Barrie’s original story the show has become...
Beyond the Barricade
Theatre Severn
16th October 2018
Sorry Spandau Ballet fans, there was not a single note of that beautiful song, instead there was a mixed bag of songs from the shows, leading to their big finale piece taken of course from, Les Miserables.
So who is, Beyond the Barricade? They are all former performers from the West End run of Les Miserables...
The Robin Nolan Trio
Walker Theatre
Friday October 12th
Living proof that you can improve on perfection; After a perfect start this Gypsy Jazz trio just got better and better.
Initially here’s a quick glance of the genre. Gypsy Jazz is a unique sound fusing Jazz Music with Blues with folk with pop. Played on guitars and maybe violin and trumpet, it is a fast, pacey...
