After 4 previous performances, THE FUREYS will play their last ever concert at the Regal as part of their FAREWELL TOUR on Thursday 30th April.

Legends of Irish music & song, The FUREYS renowned for their hit songs ‘I will love you’, ‘When you were sweet 16’, ‘The Green fields of France’, ‘The old man’, ‘Red rose café’, ‘From Clare to here’, ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’, ‘Leaving Nancy’, ‘Steal away’ etc take to our stage for the final time as part of their FAREWELL TOUR.

The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty.

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.

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.

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 Dave’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey.

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

The 'masters of G&S' Charles Court Opera join us with a special gala programme of music from the beloved comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan.

A celebration of the best loved songs, duet and ensembles from HMS Pinafore, The Mikado, Pirates of Penzance and more.

CCO is a leading light in the world of operetta, with recent smash hit successes in collaboration with Opera Holland Park in London, at the G&S Festival in Buxton, and on tour.

This special evening is not to be missed!

Performers:
Ellie Neate (Soprano)

Much Wenlock Male Voice Choir and the Regal Community Choir join forces for a special evening of song on the Regal stage with grand piano, featuring a wide-ranging programme from choral favourites to popular opera choruses.

Joined also by the Regal community choir led by Regal’s own Richard Fox, this is going to be a fantastic show full of local passion.

In 1968 a small group of singers met at a local public house in Much Wenlock and declared their intention to meet on a regular basis to sing for pleasure, and so Much Wenlock Male Voice Choir was born.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) is an animated sci-fi adventure where Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad journey into space, partnering with Rosalina and Yoshi to battle Bowser Jr. The young villain seeks to liberate his captive father (Bowser) and dominate the universe, forcing the heroes to explore cosmic, gravity-defying worlds.

After the events of the first film, Bowser Jr. launches a vendetta to free his father from captivity, creating a new galactic threat that takes the heroes beyond the Mushroom Kingdom.

Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late.

When he left, his dear mother had died and, on the very day of her funeral, he and his brother Sandy wound up in a violent exchange with their father.

Few voices linger in the soul quite like Cara’s; she remains a towering figure in Irish

music, consistently lauded as one of the folk genre’s finest interpreters on the global stage, earning widespread acclaim and countless awards—including the Meteor Award for Best Irish Female, four BBC Folk Awards (from nine nominations), and a Hot Press Award for Best Roots Act, to name a few.

For close to three decades, Dillon has occupied a singular space within folk music: an artist firmly rooted in tradition, yet never limited by it. Her voice—deceptively delicate, yet emotionally devastating—draws from something timeless and elemental. In a genre often weighed down by nostalgia or romanticism, Dillon offers something more enduring: truth carried in song—sung not to impress, but to endure. She continues to honour the rich cultural heritage of her native County Derry, with a commitment that’s both unflinching and deeply felt.

At the heart of her remarkable career is her husband and longtime collaborator, Sam Lakeman. As producer, composer, and performer, his influence has been pivotal in shaping Dillon’s sound, allowing the pair to cultivate a musical identity that defies typical pigeonholes—authentic, distinctive, and ever evolving. Their enduring partnership has ensured they have remained at the very pinnacle of the folk genre with a body of work that is both timeless and quietly innovative.

Audiences at their upcoming shows can expect an intimate, acoustic set, drawn from Dillon’s expansive discography, including their now-classic renditions of “Black Is the Colour” and “The Parting Glass,” alongside selections from 'Coming Home', her landmark 2024 release and first album in over six years.

Emerging from the vibrant traditional music scene of her teenage years with Óige and legendary band, De Dannan, and together in Equation, Dillon and Lakeman’s path wound through the major-label corridors of Warners and enviably hip indie label Rough Trade Records—a journey that mirrors the tension between preservation and reinvention that defines their work.

Her music has travelled far beyond folk’s usual borders— from Disney film soundtracks to chart-topping trance remixes. More recently, three of her songs were featured in the acclaimed TV comedy Derry Girls, and Coming Home was shortlisted for “Album of the Year” at the 2024 Northern Ireland Music Prize.

As Mojo magazine once wrote, Dillon possesses “quite possibly the world’s most beautiful female voice.” With Coming Home, she affirms that legacy—not simply as a singer, but as a storyteller of rare emotional depth. Her voice, as always, lingers long after the last note fades.

Widely considered to be one of the best ever Abba Tribute Acts, they play to packed theatres and festivals throughout Europe. A stunning stage show, which combines costume changes, lighting effects and a faithful reproduction of the Abba sound. A great evening’s entertainment is guaranteed for all age ranges. The band love audience participation, so you can sing along, clap or even get up and dance. So book your seat and witness one of the hottest stage acts in the country and if you shout loudly enough, they may even do ‘Dancing Queen’ !!!!

In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.

We’re thrilled to welcome Phil Bates to the Regal! Best known for his work with ELO Part II and The Orchestra, Phil brings decades of touring experience, global acclaim, and a deep connection to the legendary sound of ELO. From performing on the iconic 1978 Spaceship tour to collaborating with rock greats, Phil now takes the stage solo, blending his original music with blues, Beatles, and ELO classics. An unforgettable night of timeless hits awaits!

Full Biography:
Phil Bates connection with ELO began when his band Trickster signed with ELO's record label, Jet Records and being managed by the infamous Don Arden ( Father of Sharon Osbourne). The band featured as support band on ELO's ground-breaking and spectacular 1978 Spaceship world tour. When Jeff Lynne decided he no longer wanted to tour with ELO drummer Bev Bevan formed ELO Part 11. In 1993, Phil Bates joined ELO Part II, replacing Pete Haycock and Neil Lockwood. ELO Part II took the music of ELO around the world, often playing with symphony orchestras in large venues around the globe. Extensive touring in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile, US, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, South Africa, UK followed, until 1999. After leaving ELO Part II, Bates became a member of the Eleanor Rigby Experience for a short while along with Maartin Allcock of Fairport Convention fame and Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker along with Tina McBain, and Andy Bole The Eleanor Rigby Experience released one self titled CD and toured extensively in the UK. A short stint with The Bev Bevan Band and Bev Bevan's Move followed (2003/2005), along with the formation in the same year of German-based band ELB (Electric Light Band). In 2007, Bates rejoined his old mates from ELO Part II in The Orchestra (featuring members of ELO and Part II).

These days in this country he plays as a solo artist playing songs from his own repertoire his set consists of his own compositions a little bit of blues a touch of Beatles and of course lots of those classic Jeff Lynne songs that made ELO one of the biggest and most successful bands in the world.

Now the longest established Oasis tribute in the world. Together for 18yrs and with over 2,000 shows under their belt, it’s easy to see why they are the most successful and admired Oasis show out there. With several tours on the prestigious o2 Academy circuit, appearances at huge open air festivals, continual tours across the UK and Ireland plus gigs all over Europe, the Middle East and even the Caribbean!

The backstage bust ups and slanging matches on Twitter proved too much for this great British band but DEFINITELY MIGHTBE don’t share the same sibling rivalry as the real thing. They do however have a lot in common when it comes to reproducing the rousing anthems, stage presence and atmosphere that the originals created. Playing a selection from all seven albums including the hit singles, live favourites and a couple of Noel’s acoustic numbers make this a great show to watch.

Lead singer Ian bears an uncanny resemblance to Liam and has worked as a look-a-like in the UK appearing on BBC1, Channel 4, Sky TV and ITV. Publicity campaigns and advertising for HMV, Virgin, Q Magazine, Loaded, Royal Bank Of Scotland, Lloyds Bank and the National Press. Ian was also asked to star in a video for heavy metal legends MOTORHEAD as Liam and also providing a voice over for a recent documentary accompanying the new Oasis-”Time Flies” DVD. To add to this, Ian has the knack of sounding like Liam too and was asked to provide the vocals on a dance remix of Wonderwall set for release in summer 2010.

Paul Mitchell takes up the reigns as Noel and mimics the riffs and lead breaks with such precision you’d think you were listening to the CD. A very loud CD. While the rhythm section of Kev Pyne on bass and Pete Coppard on drums keep everything locked together and completes the DEF MB family.

So, as good as the real thing? Well the legendary Alan McGee thought so when he recently introduced the band live on stage! So they…..DEFINITELY MIGHTBE.

King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys, one of the world’s greatest jump, jive and swing bands, are preparing to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2026.

The rocking band launched in a milk bar in the Black Country town of Darlaston in 1986 and today still features original members King Pleasure (vocals and baritone saxophone) and Bullmoose ‘K’ Shirley (guitar).

Jim Simpson of Big Bear Music, who has managed the band from the beginning, explained how his team were now busily planning an “exciting year of celebrations”.

“They’ve recorded 14 albums, 11 with Big Bear Records, plus they’ve performed for 75 radio broadcasts and more than 70 TV appearances, including, somewhat bizarrely, five episodes of Teletubbies.

King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys have won many plaudits, but perhaps the most quoted is Paul Jones, original lead singer and harmonicist of rock band Manfred Mann, who described them on his BBC Radio 2 The Blues Show as “the hardest act to follow since the parting of The Red Sea”.

The band will be performing a series of special gigs in 2026, some featuring reunions with original band members. They will also headline the Birmingham Jazz & Blues Festival next summer, for what will be the 15th time.

And to mark the 40th anniversary, Big Bear Records is also planning to re-issue Blues and Rythym Volume 1, an album where King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys perform a dozen songs with star guests. These include Americans Charles Brown, Gene ‘The Mighty Flea’ Conners and Howard McCrary, as well as Val Wiseman, considered by many to be the UK’s finest ever female jazz singer.

After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.

Set against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive Pox outbreak, and Jacobite Uprising - this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage and Lady Savage’s blind pursuit of a better life. It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power.

Cast includes: Richard E Grant, Claire Foy, Jack Farthing

When the flamboyant Henry Paget arrives in 1890s North Wales to claim his aristocratic inheritance, his theatrical flair and defiant eccentricities send shockwaves through the upper-class elite, much to the amusement of the local townspeople. Alongside his spirited cousin, Lily, and loyal butler, Gelert, Henry tries to carve out his own identity as the Fifth Marquess, navigating suffocating traditions, scheming relatives, and the long shadow cast by his estranged father.

Inspired by a true story, this riotous, uncompromising celebration of otherness, is led fearlessly by rising star and BAFTA nominee Callum Scott Howells (It’s a Sin, The Beautiful Game), joined by a stellar supporting cast of three-time BAFTA nominee Rupert Everett (The Happy Prince, An Ideal Husband), Ruby Stokes (Jay Kelly, Bridgerton), BAFTA winner Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls, Alice Through the Looking Glass), Louis Hynes (A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Great), Louise Brealey (Sherlock, Brian and Charles), Tom Rhys Harries (White Lines, The Gentlemen) and Paul Rhys (Wuthering Heights, Saltburn).

A Hilarious and Epic Adventure!

What happens when a cinema's Lord of the Rings marathon goes terribly wrong?

At the local cinema, all hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand, the team of hapless ushers must somehow improvise an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience. Get ready for an uproarious evening of comedy, chaos, and utter nonsense, as they attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits, elves, and orcs – without any visuals, any planning, or any clue what they're doing.

Will Frodo ever make it to Mordor? Will Aragorn get crowned king? Will Gollum stop stealing the show? Will anyone even remember who’s supposed to be who?!

It’s a show that’s more fun than a barrel of hobbits, and definitely more chaotic than a Gandalf speech. If you’ve ever wanted to see Gollum fight a battle with sound effects, or Gandalf desperately trying to remember what happens next, then you’re in for a hilarious treat!
