Willie and the Bandits live roots rock and blues performance featuring a unique sound

Wille and the Bandits have built a reputation as one of the most exciting and authentic live bands to emerge from the UK. Rooted in Cornwall, their music carries the spirit of a place that feels almost like the Deep South of the UK — miles from cities, shaped by wild coastlines, Atlantic weather, and a culture where individuality is survival. It’s a landscape that breeds grit, independence, and soul — and you can hear that in every note they play. The group features some of the finest musicians in the South West, each bringing world-class skill and fearless creativity to the stage.

The band now enters a new era with their forthcoming album Salt Roots (2026) — a record that reaches deep into questions of identity, environmental responsibility, and belonging to the land. Recorded live in the room, the album captures the energy of musicians playing together, not programming — the sweat, the risk, the electricity of real performance. Wille and the Bandits remain a hard-touring band at their core — hundreds of shows across Europe, the USA, and Australia, winning crowds the old way: by showing up and leaving everything on stage.

Hailing from North East Lincolnshire, pianist James Kirby appears as recitalist and concerto soloist throughout the UK, Europe, and the Far East. A delightful and engaging artist, his musical brilliance was clearly identified at his 1991 Wigmore debut concert, “The piano recital given at Wigmore Hall by James Kirby revealed a musician as well as a pianist. Here was one who used a superb technique not for its own ends but as the key to exploring the innermost secrets of whatever he played. For him the composer’s inner imaginative world counts for much more than the external trappings with which the music is clothed. Musical Opinion”

James’ programme will showcase the music of legends – giants of composition, namely Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert and Liszt.

Tickets can be purchased on the door; details of concessions can be found on the Society Website. It is recommended that you arrive by 7:15pm.

After a sensational 2025 that saw over 60,000 Tina Turner fans across the UK singing, dancing, and having the time of their lives, What’s Love Got To Do With It? is back and bigger than ever for 2026! This electrifying tribute show celebrates the music and unparalleled career of the one and only Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of high-energy, feel-good rock and soul, brought to life by a phenomenal live band. Packed with all the classic hits you know and love, the show delivers showstopping performances of Proud Mary, River Deep – Mountain High, Simply The Best, Private Dancer, Nutbush City Limits, and many more.

Stepping into Tina’s iconic heels is Kent’s own Holly Bannis, the daughter of Greg Bannis, former lead singer of Hot Chocolate. Holly’s rise to center stage is as inspiring as it is exciting. Growing up in a musical family, Holly honed her craft for over a decade performing semi-professionally before an audition on ITV’s Starstruck changed her life. “I had to
audition as three of my musical icons, and Tina was an obvious choice for me. During lockdown, I studied her performances obsessively, getting into her moves, her walk, and her energy.”

It wasn’t long before the team behind What’s Love Got To Do With It? noticed Holly’s raw talent and passion. Initially cast as a backing singer and understudy, Holly quickly stepped into the spotlight, making the lead role her own and earning standing ovations night after night.

Audiences can expect a show bursting with energy, emotion, and that signature Tina fire. The production kicks off with hits like Private Dancer, as Holly fully inhabits Tina’s powerful vocals and unmistakable moves, transporting fans to the heart of a live Tina Turner concert experience. Then, in the show-stopping second half, the audience is guaranteed to be on their feet, dancing and singing along to high-octane classics like Nutbush City Limits.

What’s Love Got To Do With It? isn’t just a concert – it’s a celebration of Tina Turner’s legacy, a night of unrelenting joy, and a tribute to one of the most electrifying performers in music history.

Please note that this is a tribute production and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Tina Turner Estate.
