Welcome - we’re delighted to bring you news of our 2013 programme. SIV recently started operating Scarborough Spa and we are thrilled to be beside the seaside! We aim to continually enhance the programme and your experience at The Spa and welcome feedback and suggestions from our customers – please feel free to contact me on the email address below.

Winter/Spring highlights include comedy from well-known funnymen Chris Addison, Paul Tonkinson and Al Murray plus music from Toploader and Jools Holland. We successfully launched the Last Laugh Comedy Roadshow in November and can’t wait for the next nights. Please join us – it was a great giggle!

At the moment we are busy looking at our extended summer season for 2013 starting with Jools Holland in May and running through to the world renowned September Jazz Festival. We will have all the usual favourites - our family summer shows, Scarborough Spa’s own Orchestra plus a number of other new shows to enjoy!

We look forward to seeing you and hope to see continued support for Scarborough Spa.

AN EVENING WITH

RICH HALLRich Hall’s renowned grouchy, deadpan style has established him as a master of absurdist irony and king of rapid-fire wit. Fans can see the comic genius from Montana discuss a variety of topics all delivered in his own hilarious unique way.

Since appearing in the guise of his redneck alter-ego Otis Lee Crenshaw in 1998, award-winning Rich has won critical acclaim across the Globe by performing to sell-out audiences each year at the Edinburgh Fringe, throughout sell-out UK tours and at comedy festivals worldwide

AL MURRAYTHE ONLY WAY IS EPIC

Britain may be staring into the bottom of an empty pint glass, but don’t lose hope - Al Murray The Pub Landlord is back to fill it up again, with a brand new show of epic proportions.

Following a phenomenally successful 2012 Autumn tour, Britain’s most irrepressible innkeeper will be serving up his premier brew of ale-inspired acumen and bar-room buffoonery as part of his hilarious new show The Only Way Is Epic at a theatre near you this Spring.

This monumental new live stand-up show from the multi-award-winning comedian, directly follows the nationwide success of the Guv’s twice extended Barrel of Fun tour, and is sure to sell-out fast.

It’s not just a tour… it’s a national pep talk. Get your orders in now!

A hugely enjoyable dance-spectacular, perfect for ballet lovers of all ages.

Ballet’s livin’ doll captivates the flirtatious Franz - to the despair of his feisty fiance Swanilda. But, of course, it’s all a bit of a wind-up

and true love eventually wins the day on this truly enchanting tale of eccentric Doctor Coppelius and his clockwork creation.


BLACK DYKE BANDThe Black Dyke Band is the world’s most famous and contesting brass band and was most recently declared, once again, European Champions in May 2012.

Sir Elton John called them the “SAS of musicians…you get the job done and you do it so well”, when he asked them to take part in An Evening With Elton John.

They have also recorded with Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, The Beautiful South and released a single on The Beatles’ Apple Records label.

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLANDST GEORGE’S DAY MATINEE PERFORMANCE

Celebrate the best of British in a wonderful feel good afternoon filled with patriotic music, nostalgia and fun celebrating the very best of English entertainment. Travel back through 60 great years with memories of Coronation Day to the 1966 World Cup. From great English musicals to swinging through the 1960s, Cockney sing-a-longs to the stirring sounds of Last Night of the Proms and finally a very special tribute to The Armed Forces!

JOHN SHUTTLEWORTHOUT OF OUR SHEDS

In ‘Out of our Sheds’, the Perrier & Sony nominated former sweet factory security guard and versatile singer/organist, John Shuttleworth ventures beyond the garden gate to tread the mean streets of Britain.

Which is better: city life or country living? Supermarket or village shop? Or is it better to sit in your shed and count the cobwebs?

The Walk to the Paradise Garden is a sumptuously orchestrated entr’acte Delius wrote for his most successful opera A Village Romeo and Juliet – the Shakespearian original of which inspired Tchaikovsky to compose his brooding and dramatic Fantasy Overture. Samuel Barber’s ravishingly romantic Violin Concerto, is a work both lyrical and stunningly virtuosic. The Hallé’s outstanding former Assistant Conductor Andrew Gourlay rounds off events with his reading of Shostakovich’s fascinating Sixth Symphony. It begins with an extraordinary slow movement and progresses through a scherzo to a triumphant (and wonderfully unruly) conclusion.
