Michael Starring Ben
Michael Starring Ben is a hit theatre production starring the UK’s ultimate Michael Jackson tribute star, Ben Bowman. Not only does he look and sound like the King of Pop, but he’s honed his routine so carefully that audiences truly believe they are watching Michael Jackson himself.

Please note that this is a tribute production not associated with or endorsed by the Michael Jackson Estate.

The Tuppenny
CHRIS MURPHY
Chris Murphy is back in town to blow the January cobwebs away with his incredible fiddle playing.
Chris Murphy doesn’t just play music, he bends and blends centuries of composition style. Fusing Irish folk, jazz, baroque and country; this LA-based virtuoso uses electronic looping to build a one-man ensemble. A truly magnetic performer, Murphy commands the stage, spinning stories through his songs. Expect a soulful, genre-defying musical journey from a master of the violin.
Free as always but please do bring cash for the artist hat
