Doors Open: 6.45pm Show Starts: 7.30pm Tickets: £8.50 Seating: Unreserved Theatre Style ......

With kind permission from Samuel French, Green Door Theatre Group presents its version of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice.

Green Door Theatre Group is a new amateur theatre company based in Colne. This is their first production and combines the power of comedy and drama, with the poignancy of musical performance through the title role of Little Voice.

The diminutive heroine frequently plunges the dilapidated house she shares with her alcoholic mother into darkness by playing her dead father's records at a volume matched only by the soulful power of her vocal impressions. Little Voice has a hidden talent: she can emulate every chanteuse from Judy Garland to Edith Piaf.

Jim Cartwright writes with enormous wit and a cutting slice of authenticity, bringing out the ugliness of relationships, as well as the most tender of moments.

Many of the cast are well-known to theatre-goers in Colne and beyond, however, there are also some newer faces. The production is directed by one of Green Door’s founders, Gilly Grist, who writes as well as directs and performs in plays, and is extremely proud to be bringing this production to the Muni, as the theatre is perfect for the unusual staging of this production.

Contains some adult language therefore parental guidance is recommended.

From The Jam and Nine Below Zero promise to give the public what it wants in this exclusive and intimate show. From The Jam features from the original The Jam line-up and Russell Hastings on lead vocals and guitar. From The Jam has gained a reputation for the kind of incendiary ‘live’ performances that sealed the reputation of The Jam all those years ago. Audiences can expect to hear NINE classic hits such as ‘Down In The BELOW Tube Station At Midnight’, ‘Going Underground’, ‘Town Called Malice’ ZERO and ‘The Modern World’, as well as some live favourites and songs from Bruce’s solo career. English Blues band Nine Below Zero has a cult following throughout Europe and was most popular between 1980 and 1982. 2012 saw the return of Brian Bethell and the new line-up started performing in January, with shows in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, as the band entered its 35th year. Following on from 2013's remastered re-release of Nine Below Zero’s live debut album, Live at the Marquee, came a double instalment in 2014 - remastered editions of the first two studio albums Don't Point Your Finger and Third Degree. With links to Squeeze and the Rolling Stones, Nine Below Zero has recently been name-checked as influences by popular rock ‘n’ roll upstarts . Two great bands, lots of well-known tunes, fantastic musicianship - don’t miss this double-whammy of excellent live music!

Mozart Symphony no.1 in E-flat major, K16 Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending Schubert Symphony no.5 in B-flat major, D485 Jennifer Pike Violin Former BBC Young Musician, Jennifer Pike, a performer with roots in the North West, joins Camerata for that matchless evocation of the moorland landscape, The Lark Ascending. The exuberance of youth is a feature of both Mozart’s Symphony no.1, written when he was only 8 years old, and the relatively ancient Schubert, whose Symphony no.5 was written when he was 19.

The Three Degrees are an American female vocal group formed in 1963 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

When you hear the name – The Three Degrees – you conjure up a vision of three beautiful women, perfectly co-ordinated in both their dance routines and their vocal harmonies.

Decades on, the threesome have retained all three of their major qualities – their beauty, their sparkling choreography and their precise vocal qualities.

And, in between, they have amassed an impressive list of hit records known all around the world, including ‘When Will I See You Again’, ‘Dirty Ol' Man’, ‘Woman In Love’ and ‘Take Good Care Of Yourself’.

Today, the line-up consists of Valerie Holiday, Helen Scott and Freddie Pool. The Three Degrees have been continuously touring for more than 40 years and can still make the claim of being the longest running female vocal group in history.

Catch them at The Muni during this very rare visit to this part of the world.

Doors Open: 7.15pm Show Starts: 8.00pm Tickets: £16 (advance), £19 (on door) Seating: Reserved Theatre Style ......

Are you 16, yet feel 21? Are you 40, but tragically faking 25? Or maybe you’re full-on 80 years old with the heart of three oxen and the sex drive of a bonobo chimp!

Don’t worry, this is normal. No one is ever the ‘right’ age - it's the beauty and the curse of being a real person.

In this brand new show, Russell Kane unleashes another blisteringly-funny, award-winning stand-up performance about growing up, growing down and why farts will always be funny.

Multi-award winning comedian, presenter, actor, author and scriptwriter, Russell Kane is best known as the host of three series of BBC3‘s Live At The Electric, regular appearances on BBC1’s Live At The Apollo, BBC3’s Unzipped, ITV2’s Celebrity Juice and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Now!

His award-winning show, Smokescreens & Castles, was recorded in front of his home crowd in Westcliff-on-Sea’s Palace Theatre and released by Universal Pictures in 2011.

Famed for his critically-acclaimed tours, Russell has been performing to sell-out audiences across the globe and now he is back with this brand new show!
