The "Union Gap featuring Gary Puckett" or "Gary Puckett and the Union Gap" gained worldwide recognition when their first combined release “Young Girl” hit No.1 in the UK and No.2 in the USA. Next came “Lady Willpower” which hit No.5 in the UK and No.2 in the USA. Their next release “Woman Woman” only managed No.48 in the UK but hit No.5 in the USA. There were no further successful releases in the UK and in 1971 the “Union Gap” parted company with Gary Puckett.

In 1974 “Young Girl” was re-released in the UK and although Gary Puckett was now pursuing a career in acting along with his solo music projects, the new “Union Gap” was put together to promote the record in the UK and “Young Girl" was yet again a smash hit reaching No.6 in the UK charts. Eventually the band went their separate ways – all having great success recording and performing with many major artistes. The band were approached on numerous occasions to re-kindle the magic of the “Union Gap” but due to their individual contracts it was not possible, until in 1996 Mike Ellis (Keyboards & Vocals), Gerard Rogers (Drums & Vocals) and Barry Ruther (Guitar & Vocals) were able to launch the “New Union Gap” as a tribute to Gary Puckett bringing in the very talented - Tom Harding - on Bass Guitar / Lead Vocals.

The “New Union Gap” was an instant success on the 60’s circuit playing at all the major festivals, theatres and holiday centres throughout the UK and more importantly keeping the music of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap truly alive and vastly increasing airplay of their hit singles on Radio stations throughout the UK.

In December 2000 when Barry retired, Tom took on the role of Guitarist / Lead vocals, and the band recruited Simon Paul – a young and exceptionally talented musician / vocalist to take over on bass guitar & together with Tom kept the harmonies tight.

In 2006 Simon decided to depart & live in Fuerteventura & the band immediately recruited Graham James a talented bass guitarist with again a great vocal range & a wealth of experience.

January 2007 saw another change when the band welcomed the drums & vocal talents of Ian Tandy.

In March 2008 Graham James was made an offer he couldn't refuse which saw him leave the band & in came Paul Cornwell, another veteran of the 60s circuit with a pedigree second to none thus maintaining the Union Gap professionalism, musicianship & attitude.

The band has worked extensively to put together a repertoire of classic songs from the 60s to 90s, which they perform either in the original form or in their own unique style – many of which appear on their albums “This Time Around”, “Classics” & "By Request". The band have also devoted a great deal of time and effort to perfect their concert sound, which is always complimented wherever they appear.

The Manfreds will be appearing at The Regal Theatre, Tenbury Wells, on Saturday 4th May as part of their 60th Anniversary celebrations.

They are considered one of the finest and most respected bands from the 1960’s era and their numerous hits were not just ‘pop’ songs! Many were R&B based with an undercurrent of jazz - a very unusual but winning combination of playing style and substance.

As a result, their records have a timeless quality and, some 60 years on, The Manfreds, with original front man Paul Jones, will be performing many of their hits, including ‘Do Wah Diddy Diddy’, one of the most popular and instantly recognisable songs of the ‘60’s, and still the biggest audience pleaser at their concerts, along with a mix of Jazz and Blues covers and tracks from their individual solo albums.

Paul Jones, with his unique harmonica sound, will be joined by Tom McGuinness on guitar, Pete Riley on drums, Mike Gorman on keyboards, Marcus Cliffe on bass, and Simon Currie on saxophone/ flute.

Following their success on 2018’s Britain's Got Talent, The D-Day Darlings were signed to Sony Music UK and their hugely successful debut Album “I’ll Remember You”, released on 9th Nov 2018 and re-released with 4 New songs for a special VE Day celebration edition on 8th May 2020 , charted at number 5 in the official album charts, receiving a Silver Disc award for sales of over 60,000 and is currently on track to receive a Gold disc, The D-Day Darlings are The Best Selling Female group to come from Britain's Got Talent, also receiving a BRIT CERTIFIED BREAKTHROUGH AWARD.

The group was formed in 2007 by founder and lead singer, Katie Ashby, after she recognised the importance of this music and how it resonates with people like no other genre of music. Katie explains, “To see how these songs affect people and how the melody and lyrics evoke such memories was truly eye-opening for me. It was this that made me want to build a career singing these timeless songs and bring back memories for so many people.”

The Darlings, originally formed as a trio, became an overnight success and the group’s popularity grew with young and old alike, so more Darlings were signed to join to the group, creating an army of girls to continue their mission of keeping the wartime spirit alive and into the new generation.

This opened up many opportunities for the Darlings to fulfil this mission, with milestone performances on MV Boudica for D-Day 75 commemorations in Normandy, BBC Radio 2 for Armistice Day Centenary celebrations and headlining a show attended by members of the Royal Family at Union Chapel in London, along with a number of TV and Radio appearances.

Katie also joined forces with The Royal British Legion, becoming official fundraisers for the RBL, raising thousands of pounds each year and when Dame Vera Lynn gave her endorsement of the group's work, The D-Day Darlings truly became the UK’s most loved sweethearts and their popularity grew even further.

After another of Katie’s dreams became a reality when meeting Dame Vera in person, Katie commented, “Vera Lynn is my biggest inspiration and I want to continue her legacy, both musically and as a woman who contributed so much during the war. To have her blessing to do so is overwhelming and an absolute honour.”

The quest to conSnue spreading the message of Remembrance into the modern and future generations also inspired Katie to form a young troupe of musical messengers, 'The D-Day Juniors', as seen on Britain’s Got Talent 2020, a group of performers aged between 6 and 17 years which brings original wartime-inspired songs to events nationwide.

In "The Fall Guy," directed by action maestro David Leitch, Ryan Gosling delivers a gripping performance as Colt Seavers, a stuntman on a high-stakes mission. Fresh off a near career-ending accident, Colt must track down a missing movie star and untangle a deep conspiracy—all while trying to win back the love of his life, played by Emily Blunt.

This thrilling love letter to the action genre not only highlights the perilous exploits stunt crews face for entertainment but also blends humor, romance, and high-octane action, showcasing the uncelebrated dedication behind the scenes.

Cast includes: Emily Blunt, Ryan Gosling, Hannah Waddingham

RCT’s latest production is fully underway and in rehearsal – and what a comic feast it is going to be!

A fast-moving farce with misdirection, slapstick and characters you probably shouldn’t be able to recognise, but probably do (well, just a little) …

Is Inspector Drake a quiet genius or hopelessly hapless? Is Sergeant Plod any help at all? Did Mrs Gagarin deserve to die on her patio that night?

And what of the suspects? Is Miss Duck a fashion designer or fiend? Did Mr Gagarin get on with his mother? What brought Mr Butler to the Gagarin residence that evening? And what about the cook, the gardener, and the butler? Are they the loyal retainers they claim they are?

Who is whom they seem? And who harbours a resentment so deep they will resort to murder?

Come and see Inspector Drake as he takes on household implements, dim assistants, flirtatious ladies, fruit and an obstreperous Chief Inspector... will he win through, with so much stacked against him?

‘Inspector Drake’s Last Case’, written by David Tristram, is presented by the Regal Community Theatre in the intimate setting of the Regal Studio Theatre.

Wednesday 19th, Thursday 20th, Friday 21st, and Saturday 22nd June, at 7.15 p.m.

Is Inspector Drake a quiet genius or hopelessly hapless? Is Sergeant Plod any help at all? Did Mrs Gagarin deserve to die on her patio that night?

And what of the suspects? Is Miss Duck a fashion designer or fiend? Did Mr Gagarin get on with his mother? What brought Mr Butler to the Gagarin residence that evening? And what about the cook, the gardener, and the butler? Are they the loyal retainers they claim they are?

Who is whom they seem? And who harbours a resentment so deep they will resort to murder?

Come and see Inspector Drake as he takes on household implements, dim assistants, flirtatious ladies, fruit and an obstreperous Chief Inspector... will he win through, with so much stacked against him?

‘Inspector Drake’s Last Case’, written by David Tristram, is presented by the Regal Community Theatre in the intimate setting of the Regal Studio Theatre.

Wednesday 19th, Thursday 20th, Friday 21st, and Saturday 22nd June, at 7.15 p.m.

The FUREYS are one of Ireland’s all-time most acclaimed and influential middle of the road, folk and traditional bands. FUREYS classics such as I Will Love You, When You Were Sweet 16, Red Rose Café, Leaving Nancy, The Old Man, From Clare to Here, Her Father didn’t like me anyway and The Green Fields of France have become the soundtrack to the lives of fans all over the world.

The Fureys indelible musical footprint is rivalled only by their vast collection of personal stories of their musical experiences and friendships, gathered by Eddie and George Furey along an amazing 48-year journey which shows no signs of reaching a final destination.

The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where with his brother Finbar, he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty, Tam Harvey and Alex Campbell, now all famous in their own right. In 1969 Eddie and Finbar were the special guests for the Clancy Brothers throughout the USA and Canada.

In 1972, Gerry Rafferty wrote ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’ for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter, the late John Peel made it his single of the year. In 1973 they moved to mainland Europe where they toured for a number of years, building up a huge following particularly in Germany releasing many LPs.

By 1976, George, Paul, Davey Arthur and Brendan Leeson were playing with their own band, the Buskers in Denmark. Eddie and Finbar, while touring in Germany were involved in a road accident. When their brothers got news of the accident, they immediately travelled to Germany to be with their brothers. They then decided that they should all be playing together and this was the start of the FUREYS & DAVEY ARTHUR.

They are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as I Will Love You and When You Were Sweet Sixteen, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981.

The Fureys will jump at any chance to play... not just on stage. Stories of the band striking up spur of the moment music sessions with fellow music stars who happen to be around are legendary. Joe Dolan, Philomena Begley, Tom O'Connor, Chris Rea, the Chieftains, Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, Liam Clancy and Sean Maguire are just a few of those who have joined The Fureys for their spontaneous sessions, each one with a story begging to be told.

Coronation Street, Royle Family, Keeping Up Appearances and Heartbeat star, the late Geoffrey Hughes, had a keen interest in Irish music and would play the Bodhran with the band. He once joined the guys for a legendary all-night session in the Europa hotel after starring in the Christmas pantomime at the Grand Opera House next door. The Fureys also struck up an unlikely music session with Kool & The Gang, Midge Ure (Ultravox) and other music co-stars backstage during an episode of Top of the Pops. There was a BBC strike and all of the show’s artists found themselves at a loose end. Alas, there are no recordings of how this fusion of styles came across.

Eddie Furey recalls how "many musicians have told us we influenced them after hearing a record from their parents or grandparents' collection". Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar while still a teenager. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during the latter’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey.

Inevitably changes have occurred over the years. Their brother Paul died suddenly in June 2002, Finbar left the band in December 1996 and Davey got a stroke in March 2014 which he is still recovering from. However, George and Eddie have continued to delight audiences on their tours and releasing CDs.

The FUREYS are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination. Their folk based music has received standing ovations in some of the biggest concert halls of the world and they credit their musical ability to their parents, Ted and Nora, who were well known musicians themselves. They encouraged their sons to play music from a very early age and there was live traditional music in their house almost nightly.

Their emotive songs stir many emotions, tears and laughter, sadness and joy.

The FUREYS will be performing all of their best loved songs on their UK tour 2025.

A FUREYS concert is always a night to remember
