Simple Minds Live 2013

Simple Minds live 2013

Following a summer of festival appearances and their hugely acclaimed 5X5 tour, Simple Minds will be performing their Greatest Hits Live next year on a huge 28 date tour.

Simple Minds are one of the UK’s most successful rock groups to date. Having topped America’s Billboard chart, the Glasgow band have achieved six No.1 albums in the UK as well as hitting the top spot in countless other territories including Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. Simple Minds are also arguably one of the best live bands in the world and over a thirty year career have been responsible for some of the most innovative and enduring anthems in rock music.  Expect to hear songs from their extensive back catalogue including ‘Alive and Kicking’, ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’, ‘Waterfront’ and more.

“When we started Simple Minds, our objective was to be considered as one of the great live bands. A band that had the desire to go all around the world – playing everywhere and anywhere. That challenge is ongoing and we will relish touring the UK next Spring, getting up close to so many who have supported us over the last three decades and more” says Jim Kerr.

John Mayall – 31st October 2011

The legendary John Mayall and the hottest young guitarist in British Blues Oli Brown join forces at Plymouth Pavilions on Monday 31 October in an electrifying bill that promises blues at its very finest – it just doesn’t get better than this.

Since forming the groundbreaking Bluesbreakers in 1963, John Mayall has been regarded as one of the most influential UK Blues artists ever and is known by many as the Godfather of British blues.

John helped launched the careers of former Bluesbreakers band members Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. With over 45 albums and an OBE to his credit, John Mayall remains as compelling and original an artist as ever and, when it comes to the blues, Mayall is without doubt No. 1.

Oli Brown, the 2010 British Blues Awards’ Male Vocalist of the Year and Young Artist of the Year dubbed “the hottest young pistol in British Blues” by Mojo has taken the blues world by storm since his debut in 2008 and with his second release riding high, he really is one to watch!

British Blues really doesn’t get better than this!

Bullseye – 21st October 2011

The Theatre tour with a difference, Bullseye live on stage is coming to Plymouth Pavilions on Friday 21 October 2011.

Join former World Champions and legends of Darts, John Lowe, Eric Bristow and Bob Anderson in a stage version of the TV classic, Bullseye!

There is even a chance for an audience member to go home with £500 cash and the contents of Bully’s prize board!

This promises all the old elements of the TV show faithfully recreated for Bullseye 2011.

As with the original Bullseye gameshow on ITV and Challenge, the dartboards used will be from the World’s leading manufacturer, Winmau. The contestants will also have the opportunity to win some fantastic Winmau darts equipment.

Darts has had a phenomenal rise in popularity in the past few years and now fans have a chance to see 3 legends of the sport go head-to-head with the added bonus of the historic 80’s gameshow recreated on stage.

Bullseye was first made for the ITV Network in 1981 and ran from 1982 until 1995. The show was watched by around 17 million viewers in its primetime Sunday slot and remains part of many people’s childhood history. Repeats of Bullseye are currently aired on the Challenge Channel, part of the Sky platform.

John Lowe won the World Darts Championship title in three different decades – 1979, 1987 and 1993. He achieved the ultimate feat in darts in 1984 when he managed a 9 dart finish, the sport’s perfect game! This was the first time this had ever been accomplished by any darts player while being televised. As well as his three World titles, John also won two Winmau World Masters championships, two British Open titles, two British Matchplay championships, two World Cup Singles and three European Cup Singles titles. He played for England over 100 times and was captain for seven years, during which time his team were unbeaten.

Eric Bristow won his first  World Darts Championship in 1980 and so began a decade’s worth of domination, in which he would retain his title in 1981 and win it again in 1984, 1985 and 1986. Bristow emerged as the most successful and consistent darts player of the 1980s, reigning as World number one from 1980 until 1987. As well as his World Championship exploits, Bristow also lifted the prestigious Winmau World Masters and World Matchplay titles no fewer than five times. He was a winner of the World Cup Singles on four occasions together with countless other major tournaments including the British Open and Swedish Open three times each and the North American Open on four occasions. Eric, known as the “Crafty Cockney”, was awarded the MBE for his services to sport in 1989.

Bob Anderson was world number one for over three years in the late 1980s. Nicknamed The Limestone Cowboy, he threw his first darts maximum (180) at the age of just five.  He was training for the 1968 Olympics, but tragically broke his arm before the team left for Mexico, an injury which brought an end to his javelin-throwing career. Bob has had a long and successful darts career winning the World Championship in 1988 and the Winmau World Masters in 1986, 1987 and 1988 – the first man to win the Masters in three successive years

The host and comedian for the tour will be Neil Wheatley

You can’t beat a bit of bully!
