FIRE AT THE THEATRE SEES BIRDSONG LAST 10 MINUTES At 9.50pm on Saturday the 10 Febriary 2018, Cheshire Fire Brigade were called to the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe as the Fire Alarm was set off during the last 10 minutes of the play “Birdsong”. Once the audience had been evacuated two fire apliances from Crewe arrived to find that some tea towels had been smouldering and the resulting smoke had set of the alarm. Using a hose, the fire was quickly extinguished and a fan was used to clear the building of smoke. Meanwhile as there was only 10 minutes left of the production on the final night the cast decided to finish the production in the car park outside making sure the audience had seen the whole production. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 16 Feb 2018 THE ROLLING STONES STORY (Tribute) Unknown Pic and Feature Page 46, 7 Feb Crewe Chronicle. 17 Feb 2018 LET’S HANG ON Unknown (Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons Tribute) 18 Feb 2018 BLACK MAGIC (Little Mix Tribute) Unknown 22 Feb 2018 LYCEUM GHOST HUNT Potteries Paranormal Potteries Paranormal Investigations Investigation’s 23 Feb 2018 RUSSELL WATSON (Singer) Unknown 24 Feb 2018 DALISO CHAPONDA (Britain’s Got Talent Comedian) Unknown 27– 28 Feb 2018 TIM VINE (Comedian) Unknown 1 Mar 2017 DAVE SPIKEY (Comedian) Unknown 2 Mar 2018 THAT’LL BE THE DAY Derek Block Presents 4 Mar 2018 COLDPLACE (Coldplay Tribute) Unknown Pic and Feature Page 45, 24 Jan Crewe Chronicle. 6 Mar 2018 G4 LIVE Unknown 7 Mar 2018 ROB BRYDON (Comedian) Unknown 8 Mar 2018 ISLANDS IN THE STREAM Unknown Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton Tribute 9 Mar 2018 CHAMPIONS OF ROCK (Queen Tribute) Unknown Pic and Feature Page 46, 14 Feb Crewe Chronicle. 10 Mar 2018 STEWART LEE (Comedian) Unknown 14- 17 Mar 2018 BUGSY MALONE Curtain Call Presents
