SUMMARY:Music: The Alan Fletcher Band - Back To School Album Tour
DESCRIPTION:Alan Fletcher is a household name in the UK because of his portrayal of Dr Karl Kennedy in the popular Australian drama Neighbours. Thousands of people also know Alan’s work as a successful musician\, first as a Rock artist with his band Waiting Room and lately as a fine Americana and Alt/Country singer-songwriter. \nIn 2024 Alan and his five-piece band promoted his album The Point on a sold-out 22 date UK tour \nIn 2025 Alan and the band return to the UK for a 32-date tour promoting his upcoming album Back to School. \nAlan’s songs are a blend of humour (For the Love of Lager\, How Good is Bed\, I’ve Got a Crush on Susie K) and poignant reflections on love and life (Hey You\, The Point\, Back to School) \nDon’t miss the opportunity to enjoy Alan’s songs and meet a TV legend up close and personal. \nWhat they say about Alan’s gigs. \nEngaging\, delightful\, wistful and original\, The Point is classically crafted whilst contemporarily composed. It’s an album that covers a wide spectrum of emotions\, that shakes and stirs with infectious honesty. – The Manc Review (mancreview.com)\nOverall\, Alan Fletcher delivered a show that surprised in the best possible way. He had a fantastic vocal quality throughout as well as some solid guitar playing\, but what elevated the evening for me was the balance he struck between thoughtfulness and fun and the strength of his connection with the crowd. It’s safe to say he’s going to appeal to music fans way beyond just those who know him from ‘Neighbours’.\nEntertainment-focus.com – Laura Cooney \nAlthough the essence of the show is the great Americana of Alan’s songs and delivery\, Jen added some lovely\, polished vocals and the whole band was exceptional … it is always great to see such a high-quality band having such a ball on stage … and the audience rightly loving every second. Five hugely talented musicians and singers delivering a truly outstanding set of Americana … up there with the finest gigs ever … loved every second … richly entertaining show … doesn’t get much better!! \nRich Wakefield Leicester Musician review 2024 \n

SUMMARY:Music: Never The Bride
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Never The Bride are two trailblazing women: powerhouse vocalist Nikki Lamborn — hailed by Roger Daltrey as “the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin” — and Catherine “Been” Feeney\, the band’s primary composer\, keyboardist\, and occasional guitarist. Together\, they craft music with grit\, grace\, and passion\, supported by a world-class lineup of musicians. \nTheir career reads like a rock and roll hall of fame — sharing stages with legends such as The Who\, Robert Plant\, Elton John\, Paul Rodgers\, Eric Clapton\, and Beth Hart. Their unforgettable rendition of Going to California on Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin earned them a gold disc\, further cementing their place in music history. \nBBC’s Bob Harris\, a long-time supporter\, introduced their live album Long Live Live with these words: “I was absolutely struck by their brilliant musicianship\, their passion\, their commitment — they really\, mean it. They are one of the best live bands in Britain today.

SUMMARY:Music: Rose's Pawn Shop
DESCRIPTION:American roots music from Southern California live in Bristol \nRose’s Pawn Shop are a 5-piece band with acoustic\, folkie Americana roots and a rock n’ roll vibe. \nFor two decades\, they have evolved their version of modern-day American roots music. It’s an anthemic sound that’s taken the group from their hometown of Los Angeles — where frontman Paul Givant formed the band as a bluegrass-inspired act\, making room for punky tempos and fiddle solos — to venues across the country\, where their sound grew to encompass the sweep of rock & roll\, the sonics of folk music\, and the storytelling of country. \n“Our music is a patchwork of American styles\,” Givant says. “We have country\, rock\, bluegrass\, and folk — all sorts of American musical influences\, and they all go into the Rose’s Pawn Shop sound. \n““American Seams” is a masterclass in resilient roots music. It is a song for the seekers\, the travelers\, and anyone trying to navigate the complexities of modern life without losing their connection to the past.” – Country Music News International \n  \nLearn more about Rose’s Pawn Shop here: Rose’s Pawn Shop  \n  \n\n  \n\nExclusive offer for all Hen & Chicken event ticket holders – July 2026.\n\n25% off your food bill when you reserve a table in our  bar /restaurant\nWhen you book a table and enjoy dinner in our restaurant\, we reserve great seats for you\, ready for the performance\, so you can skip the queue and relax while enjoying your meal. \n\nPlease make your dinner reservation under the same name you used to book your tickets. \n\n*Does not include a ticket to your chosen event.
