Events for April 28, 2024

Grimethorpe Colliery Band return to Royal & Derngate. They bring a programme of classic brass band repertoire and music from the film ‘Brassed Off’ alongside newer works and some entertaining solos. National and British Open Champions on numerous occasions, the band’s contest successes remain legendary and they have performed all over the world. Their diverse range of concert performances include those at the FIFA World Cup, BAFTA Awards, BBC Proms, Eurovision, London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony and they received a BAFTA nomination for their key role in the global hit movie, ‘Brassed Off’.

The worse the political career, the more lucrative the subsequent entertainment opportunities. Matt Hancock may have slaughtered millions but now he’s making a killing. So can Rosie Holt‘s viral hit MP follow “politainers” Dorries, Farage and Rees-Mogg and leap from the pages of Hansard to Heat? Following a hugely successful Edinburgh Fringe season, Rosie takes this brand-new show on the road, to tightrope the thin line between politics and entertainment. Rosie is an acclaimed comedian, actor and satirist, whose popular videos on social media have achieved more than 6.5 million views. She is the host of the podcast Noncensored, and has been seen/heard on The Russell Howard Hour (Sky Max), and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, DM’s Are Open, and Ashley Blaker: 6.5 Children, among many other credits.
