Family entertainm­ent favourites Funbox say farewell with final Campbeltow­n show

-

After seven years of putting smiles on the faces of adults and children alike, family entertainm­ent favourites Funbox have announced their final show at Victoria Hall on Friday 1st July, 5pm, as they embark on their last ever string of dates.

Formerly of The Singing Kettle, Kevin, Anya, and former musical partner Gary Coupland created Funbox after the end of the iconic children’s entertainm­ent act in 2015. Balancing traditiona­l singalong songs and brand new compositio­ns with a distinctly Scottish flavour, over the years Funbox have developed their own unique brand of modern manic humour and organised chaos that fans love.

The much-loved trio of Kevin Macleod, Anya Scott-Rodgers and Bonzo the Dog have delighted thousands of children and their families across the country since they first took to the stage in 2015. Sadly, due to the strains of the pandemic 2022 will see Funbox hit the road one last time - and they plan to go out with a bang.

Anya Scott-Rodgers said: “Funbox has been an incredible part of our lives, and visiting Campbeltow­n was always a highlight. All good things must come to an end, and we’re planning to go out on a high. We can’t wait to perform at Victoria Hall one final time and say a fond farewell to our loyal audience.”

Kevin Macleod added: “Seven years have come and gone in the blink of an eye and we still can’t believe how lucky we’ve been to call this our job. We’re looking forward to welcoming audiences to Victoria Hall to sing with us for one last big Funbox hoolie!”
