Rock n'Roll with laughter!

1/8/2013

If you like a bit of comedy with your music, or vice versa, head to Gretton Village Hall this summer.

Taking place on Sunday 25th August as part of the Gretton Music Festival, the ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll with Laughter’ show is guaranteed to be a good night out.

What’s not to like?  Steve Ashcroft and Martin Lewis provide the tunes ranging from The Beatles, The Searchers and The Drifters though to Rod Stewart, Carole King, Neil Diamond and John Denver.

With over 30 years of experience in the music industry, they’ve toured with the likes of Roy Wood (of Wizzard fame) and Hot Chocolate.

The comedy comes courtesy of Doug Parker.  He’s a well-known Midlands stand-up comic, and proof that you don’t have to be ‘blue’ to be funny.  He’s worked as a warm up man on many top-rated ITV and BBC shows including ‘Parkinson’ and ‘Central Weekend’.

Starting at 7.30pm, with a licensed bar until 11pm, tickets for this great night of entertainment cost just £10 each and are available from Gretton Post Office.

All proceeds from this show will go to support The Travers Foundation, a Northamptonshire-based charity set up to help ambitious local 18-30 year olds improve proficiency in sport and the arts.
