Rich Hall Shot from Cannons – Thursday 2nd November, 8pm
Rich Hall, the critically acclaimed author of Memoir Nailing It, is returning to Melksham. Organisers said, “Montana’s transatlantic messenger returns with new rants, knife-edge observations, thrilling musical interludes and an ever-formidable knack for laughs on the fly. You’ll pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge of it.”
The show is for those aged 14+. No-one under 14 years of age will be admitted as there is likely to be strong language and adult content.
Chippenham Kickboxing Academy – Saturday 4th November, 4pm
This will be a night of full contact kickboxing. Doors open at 4pm and the first fight is at 4.30pm.
The Lollypops and Moptops Show – Saturday 11th November, 7.30pm
Formerly Freddie and The Dreamers and carrying on the tradition of the guys who started it all in 1963 – Freddie Garrity, Derek Quinn, Roy Crewson, Bernie Dwyer and Pete Birrel – The Dreamers remain one of the best-known named bands on the ‘60s music circuit.
Organisers said, “With their unique harmonies and musicianship they add an extra dimension to The Dreamers, who along with the hits of Freddie and The Dreamers perform the most popular songs of the ‘50s rock and roll days and the great songs of the ‘60s.
“Changes to personnel over the past 50 years were of course inevitable but one member, Alan Mosca, remains in the band today, having been in the band Freddie and The Dreamers and then The Dreamers for over 40 years.
“Alan is joined by The Temple Brothers, Steve and Colin, who in their own right are seasoned professionals having toured extensively with their Everly Brothers Tribute Show and Midnight Dynamos rock and roll band, and newest member, Nicky Walker, who for over 40 years has toured the UK and abroad as a session musician and with his own Buddy Holly Tribute Show.
“This brand-new show also includes The Temple Brothers’ tribute to the Everly Brothers and Buddy Walker’s tribute to Buddy Holly.”
