What's On top 10

The Cavern Beatles

A Fab Four tribute act that recreates the sound of that “great little band from Liverpool” – as Macca once said – so well it was officially endorsed by the very club The Beatles used to play back in the day. From the hand holding, head shaking mop top era to the scary hairy peace and love years to the let’s stay together to keep Ringo off the dole stage, all the hits will be performed with great gusto and admirable authenticity.

2 THEATRE

The Dolls Abroad

Fans of The Steamie will love this comic tale of two scrubbers, er, cleaners from Glasgow who head off on the budget holiday of a lifetime. Warning – contains language almost as strong as the bleach the dolls use on the toilets.
