Meeting in 2001 and performing as founding members of the ‘Women on Stage’ tour throughout Germany, Austria and the UK (a three-act tour featuring Vicki, Sally and Kerstin Blodig), Vicki and Sally have continued touring together in Germany and the UK since 2006. Eleven years later, they have prepared a special collection of newlypenned, original songs and put together a show that is more collaborative than ever before. The Trans-Atlantic duo can’t wait to get back out on the road with their debut collaborative CD, ‘In The Shadow of a Small Mountain’, reuniting with old fans and friends and welcoming new ones. Vicki holds the title of 2008 ‘Guitar Superstar’ having won the Guitar Player Magazine’s annual competition in front of celebrity judges Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Elliot Easton. Sally, who has supported both Bob Dylan and Robert Plant in Germany, was Sir Tom Jones’s finalist in the Voice UK 2014. “It was just so beautiful that I couldn’t help myself. You swept me off my feet,” said Sir Tom. See the duo live for the first time in Lancashire at The Civic Arts Centre and Theatre. Who is it suitable for?: Suitable for all lovers of live music.

Where is it?: The Civic Arts Centre and Theatre, 155 – 157 Union Road, Oswaldtwistle, BB5 3HZ. What does it involve?: This live comedy show features four brilliant comedians from around the UK, personally selected by Jason Manford. Come down for a great evening of original stand-up comedy, with some top names from the touring circuit and television. It’s a brilliant opportunity to see some up-and-coming comedians as well as some very experienced and established ones. This month features comedians Laura Lexx, Andrew Bird, Callum Oakley and headlined by the brilliant Duncan Oakley. With musical skills that would easily fit into many rock bands, Duncan Oakley performs an infectious mix of musical comedy and stand-up with one of his trusty guitars. With an eye and ear for the silly, rude, playful and downright irritating occurrences of life, Duncan musters up songs that not only make you laugh, they bury into the recesses of your mind and find you humming tune with a smile on your face three days later. Duncan has performed for nearly 10 years on the stand-up circuit and performs regularly at some of the UK’s bigger weekend clubs.
