Dolly Parton tribute act, Julia Martin brings her show ‘Dollywood to Hollywood’ to the Assembly Hall on Saturday 10th June. This acclaimed two-hour show, performed by the extremely talented and world-renowned Julia Martin, plays tribute to the musical journey from rags to riches of the undisputed queen of country music Dolly Parton.

With vocals direct from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee, mannerisms that are ‘Pure Dolly’ and a stage presence that commands the room, Julia weaves her magic and delivers a show that makes you feel that Dolly herself is in the theatre. This foot stomping, hand clapping show, captures the audience from start to finish, with Julia combining Dolly’s hit classic songs and unique one-liners into a spectacular performance. Tickets cost £18. Show starts at 7.30pm.

Then on Thursday 22nd June, Brian Poole & The Tremeloes play at the Assembly Hall.

It is 54 years ago since the band known as Brian Poole & The Tremeloes recorded their first record. Now over 50 years on the three singers who sang on all the hit recordings of Brian Poole & The Tremeloes, continuing on to greater success as The Tremeloes, after Brian left to go solo.
