September will bring something for everyone

- EMMA HOLDEN

AFTER the quiet of summer, we are back with a bang this autumn, with a total of 10 events throughout September alone. There really is something for everyone at Oswaldtwis­tle Civic Arts Centre and Theatre.

The Simon and Garfunkel Story returns on Saturday, September 10. Using huge projection photos and original film footage, this 50th anniversar­y celebratio­n also features a full live band performing all the hits. Tickets are £16 for this not-to-be-missed show.

It’s been a while since we welcomed The Houghton Weavers at The Civic, but they are returning on Saturday, September 17 and tickets are just £13. The Houghton Weavers are sure to entertain with their signature blend of popular folk music, humour and audience participat­ion.

On Saturday, September 24, we welcome Rule the World, an award-winning Take That tribute band, for the first time to The Civic. The band not only sound, but look like the real thing and their performanc­e creates the magic of being at a real concert. They’ll be performing all the greatest hits from the whole of Take That’s back catalogue.

We also have a number of community events during the month, starting with a night of mediumship on Thursday, September 15; tickets are just £10 and all profits will go to East Lancashire Hospice.

Friday, September 23, sees a group of local actors performing a tribute to Victoria Wood with an evening of her songs and sketches.

Tickets are £8.50 and all profits will go to Macmillan Cancer Research. Finally, on Friday, September 30, our Murder Mystery Night is back. Tickets are just £8.50 and that includes a Lancashire hotpot supper.
