Experience the power, soul, and spirit of Elvis Presley like never before in Simply The King’s Voice, starring acclaimed vocalist Gordon Hendricks.

This is not an impersonation. It’s an inspirational tribute that strips away the jumpsuit and focuses on what truly made Elvis timeless – the voice. Backed by world-class musicians and driven by raw emotion, Gordon Hendricks delivers the music of Elvis Presley with breath-taking authenticity, honouring every era from the early rock-and-roll hits to the unforgettable Vegas years. With a voice that has been praised for its uncanny resemblance and heartfelt delivery, Hendricks captures the essence of the King while bringing his own presence, passion, and maturity to the stage.

Simply The King’s Voice is a celebration of legendary songs, iconic moments, and the enduring legacy of Elvis – presented with elegance, respect, and just the right touch of Vegas magic.

No costume.

No imitation.

The Endings

The Endings are an energetic five-piece band based in Shropshire, known for their high-octane fusion of Celtic Rock with a unique original sound, style and music. They are widely regarded as one of the most popular Celtic-rock acts in the Shropshire region, winning Shropshire Music Awards for 2024 and 2025 consecutively.

The band describes their music as “energetic, beer-drinking original material.” Their sound is characterised by a blend of traditional folk instruments and rock energy, making an impact from start to finish with their performances.

 

 

 

The Shire-ish Rovers

Popular and lively Shrewsbury based trio The Shire-ish Rovers blend lively traditional Irish Folk and exciting Americana style, and their own unique arrangements bring a high energy lift to any occasion.
Having performed at venues and festivals across the midlands, you can expect rip roaring versions of Pogues and Dubliners favourites through to Steve Earle and Mumford and Sons. Full on foot stomping folk bangers!

 

 

Two Blank Pages

Friends and bandmates since they were 12, Two Blank Pages have spent 20 years refining their sound but remain one of the most down-to-earth acts you’ll work with.
From the early days spent circuiting the pubs of the West Midlands to their highlights on the stages of Shrewsbury Folk Festival and Theatre Severn. The core trio delivers a live show built on acoustic energy and driven Banjo, often joined by Quantum Penguin, whose exciting fiddle work adds a layer of complexity to the performance.

 

Stomping rhythms, infectious melodies and compelling harmonies are underpinned by the band’s innate love for performing on stage together.

They write, record, and master everything they release, ensuring that the energy you hear on singles like “Ouroboros” and “Stoked the Fire” is exactly what you get when they step onto a stage.

The Rise Of The Beatles is a brand-new, unique, immersive and memorable celebration of the greatest group of all time.

Moving staunchly away from the standard tribute band format and presenting a fresh perspective that bridges the gap between concert show and theatrical narrative, The Rise of the Beatles follows John, Paul, George and Ringo – and a few others along the way – as they wind their way through Hamburg’s seedy backstreets, to Liverpool’s sweat-drenched Cavern Club, to a performance that shook the world as we knew it under the patronage of Ed Sullivan, and eventually changed the way live music is performed forever with incendiary shows at Shea Stadium and Candlestick Park.

Focusing on the band’s formative years rather than the well-trodden path towards their eventual dissolution, the show begins with an immersive and exciting peek into the 1957 village fete where the greatest songwriting partnership the world has ever seen began.

Traversing the influences of Elvis, Lonnie Donegan and Fats Domino, and utilising an authentic, curated selection of instruments from the time, this is as close to the skiffle craze of 1950s Britain as it’s possible to get.

From there, it’s a non-stop journey through the Beatles’ early catalogue and their unique blend of rock ’n’ roll, blues and tight vocal harmonies that shaped the sound of all pop music that followed. You’ll hear all your favourites – Please Please Me, Ticket to Ride, Yesterday – alongside a whole host of the cover versions that gave the Beatles the edge over all their contemporaries: You Really Got a Hold on Me, Hippy Hippy Shake, Ain’t She Sweet and so much more.

With each segment of the show punctuated with masterful narration courtesy of Martin Teall, The Rise of the Beatles not only presents a selection of music that simply isn’t played anywhere else, but also paints a vivid and evocative picture of what it was actually like to be there at the time and see it all unfold in front of you.

No funny wigs and absolutely no dodgy Liverpool accents. Just a completely peerless and utterly thrilling celebration of the making of the greatest group of all time.

50 years since ABBA’s iconic ‘Arrival’ Album first lit up the charts, the multi-award-winning show that shares the same name, Arrival – The Hits of ABBA, is back with a brand-new production!

With sensational vocals, expert musicianship, dazzling costumes, and breathtaking visuals, Arrival – The Hits of ABBA takes you on an unforgettable journey through the timeless music that changed pop history. From the Eurovision-winning ‘Waterloo’ to infectious disco anthems like ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!’, ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Voulez-Vous’, and ‘Fernando’, every song will have you dancing in the aisles and singing along with pure joy and nostalgia!

Whether you’ve been a fan since day one or are discovering their magic for the first time, this is the ultimate celebration of a legendary band and the ‘Arrival’ album that helped define an era.

Step back in time to the dazzling golden age of Las Vegas, when the legendary Sands Hotel played host to three of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century — Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

Starring ITV weatherman Des Coleman as Sammy Davis Jr., alongside Tony Martin as “The Chairman of the Board” Frank Sinatra, and Paul Drakeley as the smooth and sophisticated Dean Martin, this spectacular theatre show celebrates the music and magic of a bygone Vegas.

Featuring beloved classics including The Lady Is a Tramp, Ain’t That a Kick in the Head, Mr. Bojangles, Me & My Shadow, Come Fly With Me, The Candy Man, That’s Amore, That’s Life, New York, New York and many more, this is an evening guaranteed to have toes tapping and spirits soaring.

Experience the power, passion, and charisma of Tom Jones brought to life by one of the UK’s finest vocal performers, Glen Leon.

Every performance is packed with energy, emotion, and that unmistakable “Jones” swagger.

Having earned a reputation as one of the most authentic and dynamic tribute artists in the business, Glen Leon combines world-class vocals, magnetic stage presence, and professional musicianship to deliver a truly unforgettable live experience.
