The BigK presents

Transport yourselves back to downtown Chicago with this

high-kicking, ball-busting, blues-bitching, hard-rocking, nail-biting, cat-fighting, mickey-taking, film-faking, tight-fitting, feet-stomping, dance-crazy, alcohol-hazy, powerhouse performance of a show.

This 10-piece ensemble is not an ‘act’ - it’s a theatrical production. You won’t see two fat blokes in suits, carrying a portable stereo system. Oh no. What you will see is a musically tight band, playing blues, jazz, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll. You’ll also see an all-dancing and all-singing trio of Soul Sisters, shaking their tail feathers and straining their vocal chords. And guess what else you’ll see? That’s right. Jake and Elwood Blues. Or as near as dammit. They’re definitely

on a mission . . . why don’t you join them?!

The programme will include Sibelius Symphony No.1, and the Elgar Cello Concerto (2007 is the 150th anniversary of Elgar’s birth).

Conductor: Russell Abraham

Soloist: Claire Graham

Kingsley College presents

Performing arts students from Kingsley take a bus journey with a difference in this much-loved British classic comedy which features all-time greats such as Summer Holiday, Bachelor Boy, Livin’ Doll, The Young Ones, Do You Wanna Dance, In the Country, Dancing Shoes, Move it and many more.

A group of London Transport bus mechanics set out on a frantic bus-ride of a lifetime through France, Switzerland, Italy and Greece. They’re joined by pop starlet ‘Bobby’ who, disguised as a boy, has run away from her showbiz lifestyle. Chased by her domineering mother, and her agent, Bobby hitches a ride with the unknowing gang of holidaymakers on their double-decker London bus. Romance blossoms when Bobby reveals her true identity and falls for her bachelor boy, Don.
