 Martin Fry - A Lexicon of Life

A Look At Life And A Look Of Love

The hits earned their place in pop history. From Poison Arrow to The Look Of Love, from All Of My Heart, and Be Near Me, to When Smokey Sings, ABC were the band that redefined glamour and cool. Led by the charismatic Martin Fry, they enjoyed TransAtlantic success as The Lexicon of Love proved as artful as a Warhol silkscreen, and glossier than Marilyn’s lipstick. ABC’s The Lexicon of Love was a brilliantly distinctive debut album, fizzing with bright ideas, and unapologetically flamboyant. Frontman Martin Fry harked back to a golden era of luxe, as though Cole Porter had been re-imagined among the narrow streets of Sheffield. Little wonder his sleek, opulent, and beautiful debut retains the affection of listeners four decades on. With good reason, it has stood the test of time. And so has Martin Fry, who will bring an evening of stripped-back music and conversation to UK theatres in celebration. His intimate tour follows a sold-out tour of the UK, which included three  sell out nights at London Palladium, and coincides with the publication of his autobiography. That’s the look, that’s the look… The Look of love.

John was born on October 27, 1939, in Weston-Super-Mare, England, into a family of modest means, who considered it important that John had a good education. Here he was often tormented for his height, having reached a height of six feet by the age of twelve, and eventually discovered that being humorous could deflect aggressive behaviour. He grew to love humour and has made an incredible career from his writing and comedy.

Some of John’s life highlights are…… attending Cambridge University to read (study) Law; being a member of the university's legendary Footlights group, where he wrote and performed in comedy reviews such as “Cambridge Circus,” which toured internationally and went on to spawn so many other comedy classics, such as  “I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again,” Monty Pythons’s Flying Circus and the Monty Python films….with Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.

And let’s not forget one of the funniest series ever, that John and then-wife Connie Booth collaborated in, the legendary television series Fawlty Towers (1975).

More recently John has appeared in the Harry Potter series and the James Bond series as Q, in which he began as R before graduating to Q.

John’s two daughters are what he considers to be real highlights of his life alongside promoting education and learning which he does as  professor-at-large of Cornell University in New York. John lives in Santa Barbara, California.

Starring West End and national theatre tours performer Peter Gill and his outstanding rock ‘n’ roll band.

Elvis was of course the recognised king of rock 'n' roll, but the most explosive, most dynamic and the first wildman of rock 'n' roll was undoubtedly Jerry Lee Lewis. In this concert style show Peter Gill captures the charisma and personality of the man nicknamed 'Killer' and performs all the great rock n roll hits that Jerry Lee is famous for such as: Great Balls Of Fire, Whole Lotta Shakin, Breathless, High School Confidential, Be Bop A Lula, Wild One, Roll Over Beethoven, Johnny B Goode, Good Golly Miss Molly plus a host of many others. Supported by a full, live band this is a spectacular and magical night of rock n roll musical excellence that recreates the dynamism and excitement of the early days of rock 'n' roll.

Peter Howarth, lead singer with The Hollies and West End star of Only the Lonely - The Roy Orbison Story, invites you to join him on a musical journey as he performs some of the all-time favourites such as He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, You Got It, and Pretty Woman, to name but a few. You don’t want to miss this fabulous show.

Peter Howarth has been the lead singer of the legendary Hollies since 2004 and has recorded three new albums with the band: Staying Power, Then, Now, and Always, and We Got The Tunes on the EMI label. 2022 marked the start of the much-anticipated Hollies 60th Anniversary World Tour. Over the past 35 years, Peter has written, recorded, played, sung, and toured worldwide with a variety of artists ranging from Cliff Richard to The Who. He has also enjoyed his time in theatre, playing the part of Roy Orbison in Bill Kenwright’s Only the Lonely and Four Steps to Heaven at London's Piccadilly and Whitehall Theatres, as well as around the UK. It was also for Bill Kenwright that he wrote the musical Robin Prince of Sherwood and took the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham in the West End and on tour.

Peter has also toured his own show, Peter Howarth Unplugged, featuring classic hits alongside songs from his album Evermore. Peter is co-founder of the acoustic trio Frontmen, based in Germany. The ensemble has produced two DVDs, Live in Berlin 2016 and Up Close Live 2020, plus three albums: All for One, Up Close Live, and most recently in 2024, Enjoy the Ride.

It’s over fifty years since glamrockers Mud had their first hit record ‘Crazy’ under the guidance of legendary producer Mickie Most and song-writers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. They went on to score 3 UK number 1s, 11 UK top 10s and 15 UK top 40s as well as hits in Europe and many other parts of the world.

Today, the band still has two surviving original members, ROB DAVIS and RAY STILES…(other originals Les Gray and David Mount having passed away). Rob has become a very successful songwriter having penned various hits for many artists including, most notably, Kylie Minogue (Can’t Get You Out Of My Head) and Sophie Ellis Bexter (Groovejet). Ray has been a member of the Hollies for the past thirty six years and still tours with them, playing sell-out shows in Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe, Scandinavia..and also the UK.        

The line-up of Mud is completed by PETE PHIPPS (drums), KEITH READ (guitar) and IAN PARKER (keyboards). Pete was an original member of the Glitterband and also a touring member of the Eurythmics (with Annie Lennox). Keith is a long time friend of Rob and Ray – he was in the Wild Angels (a rock n’roll band of the late 60s and early 70s). Keith shares vocal duties with Ray. Ian is also a long term member of the Hollies and provides additional musical arrangements found on the original records.

Mud still create an element of fun in their shows, and the set consists of all the hits.

Established in 2001 this band is the only tribute to have performed with two original founder members of Blondie, legendary drummer Clem Burke and songwriter, bass player and author Gary Valentine.

In 2019, to celebrate 40 years since the release of Blondie’s iconic album “Parallel Lines” Bootleg Blondie played two UK tours with Clem Burke under the band name CBBB (Clem Burke & Bootleg Blondie). Both tours were a whirlwind of sell out shows, radio, press interviews and fab reviews, driving nearly 5,000 miles and performing to over 7,000 people, also releasing an original single ‘Enigma Soho Au Go Go’ to coincide with the tours which is available through AppleMusic, Spotify, Deezer, and itunes.

Debbie Harris, lead vocalist of Bootleg Blondie, has the looks, the voice and the attitude of the original Blondie bombshell and like her heroine is typically outrageous on stage, wearing dustbin liners, thigh length boots and t.shirts with more holes than t.shirt!  Debbie's pride & joy is her guitar which she plays at every show, signed by all the Blondie band members.

She appeared in The Mail On Sunday Magazine and performed on two TV shows for BBC1 picked out of 15,000 applicants to represent Debbie Harry on ‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’ hosted by Paddy McGuinness which attracted an audience of 10 million viewers!

It is now just over 30 years since the legendary Karen Carpenter passed away, she left behind an amazing catalogue of hit songs and golden memories and is still played daily on radio stations throughout the UK.

A Carpenters country medley with TOP OF THE WORLD, SWEET SWEET SMILE, & JAMBALAYA is in great contrast to the sad and perhaps most popular songs on her last and most poignant album Voice Of The Heart.  

With superb vocals from local lady CAROLE GORDON and outstanding talent from the brilliant BLUE JEANS BAND & SINGERS it will be a “sparkling” night to remember.

IF YOU LIKE GOOD MUSIC THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS SHOW

Remarkably compelling, amazingly detailed, and always humorous

The popular star of TV’s Street Psychic, Psychic Private Eyes and Psychic Academy, Tony Stockwell has a long-established credibility as one of the top Intuitive Mediums. Tony demonstrates his belief that those who have passed can communicate with their loved ones with detailed messages frequently including names, dates, and locations and all delivered with emotion, sensitivity, and empathy. The evening may include psychometry, photograph readings and psychic prediction.

Recent legislative guidelines insist that any Evening of Mediumship should be billed ‘for entertainment purposes’. Tony certainly uses his natural wit, showmanship, and Cockney charisma to entertain but more important, Mediumship has the potential to change someone’s life and instil in them a sense of peace, comfort, and purpose.

We hope that nobody can fail to come away untouched by the experience.

TOM ROBINSON with Adam Phillips THEN & NOW

50 YEARS OF ADVENTURES IN THE RECORD INDUSTRY

1975-2025

Tom Robinson presents an evening of songs and stories from fifty years wandering the wilder shores of the Record Industry. Classic hits such as War Baby, Up Against The Wall, and 2-4-6-8 Motorway rub shoulders with a Radio 1 ban for being Glad To be Gay, rocking against racism with The Clash, writing songs with Elton John, headlining Glasto with Peter Gabriel, drug smuggling in East Germany, two nervous breakdowns and a year in tabloid hell after falling in love with a woman. Plus fan favourites from his vast back catalogue, spanning Café Society in 1975 to his acclaimed 2015 comeback album Only The Now.

TOM ROBINSON BIOG

Tom Robinson's first record release was in 1975 as one-third of Café Society: an acoustic harmony trio discovered by Ray Davies at The Troubadour folk club in London's Earls Court. The album sold just 500 copies.

After seeing an early Sex Pistols gig at The 100 Club, Tom made a rapid change of direction and formed the Tom Robinson Band with rock guitarist Danny Kustow. TRB were early supporters of Rock Against Racism and soon enjoyed Top 5 success with their debut single for EMI: 2-4-6-8 Motorway. Brief notoriety followed in early 1978 with the LGBT anthem Glad To Be Gay, and a few months later the band's first album Power In The Darkness entered the charts at No.4.

Over the last 50 years Tom's been mentored by Alexis Korner and Martin Carthy, written songs with Elton John and Peter Gabriel, toured with The Police, Red Wedge and The Undertones, and Rocked Against Racism for a crowd of 80,000 - alongside The Clash, Steel Pulse and X-Ray Spex.

He's been banned by Radio One, exiled in East Berlin, and hounded by the tabloids for being in love with a woman. More recently he's given over ten thousand artists their first national airplay on his BBC Introducing shows for 6 Music and served for ten years on the Ivor Novello Awards committee. At age 75 Tom still enjoys a reputation among his punk contemporaries - and in the world of acoustic/roots music - as both a master songsmith and a funny, ferocious live performer.
