Thanks Ron,
We are looking forward to it lovely little theatre
Take care

Hi Jimbo & Ron,
Thankyou for your good wishes. We're all really looking forward to returning to "The Broadbent", and being joined by Peter Ravenhill.
Marg & me were at the Theatre the other night, to see the Lindsey Rural Players (the amateur Thesps we're supporting) latest production. They work incredibly hard, literally "on a shoestring", and produce some really good work. Organisations like LRP, and the Theatre itself, are - regrettably - under great threat. Unless we all "do something" the only live performances left will be in those horrible (IMHO) "Arenas".
Seek-out your local "Community Theatre(s)" and give them your support.
As for The Broadbent Theatre, it's about as far from an "Arena" as it is possible to get! A converted Methodist Chapel - but with all the attributes of a "proper" theatre - that holds just 99 people! Out "in the sticks", too, but the volunteer staff there are incredibly enthusiastic & helpful and it is a joy to work with them. You can even get a Pint of draught, locally produced, cider in the interval as well!
Best regards to all.
Paul (one of the "other" Creasey's!)

I am really looking forward to guesting with Life story I would like to say thank you to Kim and Peter for asking me.
Should be a good night
thanks Peter

Booking details are here http://www.broadbent.org/broadbent/diary.htm
Paul and Dave tell me that there is an excellent bar for the interval ( wouldn't know myself you understand )
See ya there

Wouldn't want folks to feel "let down" on the Bar front. As befits a small venue like "The Broadbent", the Bar is rolled-out in front of the Stage in the interval. It DOES, however, stock a range of wines, beers and soft drinks, together with locally-produced Skidbrooke Cider which is guaranteed to remove any scaling on your teeth!

We're including a "smattering" of non-Shads Rock 'n Roll this time, including (my favourite) "Sea Cruise", where Lottie has even managed to find a Ship's Bell just like Warren's!! Pete Ravenhill will be a welcome addition and we're looking forward to playing with him as a Band. It'll even give "Our Kid" a chance to "exit stage left" for a minute for his Phyllosan!

Really looking forward to this one..................The Acorn was great, Lincoln Drill Hall was excellent, but for ATMOSPHERE, give me The Broadbent every time!

Regards
Paul.
