By Gail Louw and Jeffrey Holland

Fulfilling a long held desire to pay tribute to his hero Stan Laurel, Jeffrey Holland tells this intriguing, funny and often poignant tale of friendship, love and dedication about one of Hollywood’s great film comedians.

Jeffrey (Hi-de-Hi, You Rang M’Lord) stars in this one-man show about friendship, memories and a couple of remarkable lives. Set in the bedroom of a sick Oliver Hardy the show takes place during Laurel’s visit to the dying man. Recounting their past success as the comedy double act Laurel and Hardy, this is a humorous and touching look at one of the great cinematic partnerships of the last century.

Be prepared for an evening of stunning blues played with feeling and expertise by masters of their art and, if possible,

make room to dance!

The Blues Band was formed in 1979, by ex Manfred Mann group members, Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, originally to play

a few pub gigs on Paul Jones’ nights off from his then full time career as an actor in London’s West end. The blues had always

been their first love, indeed Manfred Mann for a short time backed Sonny Boy Williamson. Tom’s first band – The Roosters-

also included a young Eric Clapton.

They still love playing together and partly keep the whole thing fresh by dispensing with a set list about ten years ago which

keeps you on your toes !
