Hello, we're back with another edition of Five Things to Do, and let me tell you that fans of
00:09
80s music are in for a treat this week, because we start with two epic weekend nights out at the
00:15
Winter Gardens Empress Ballroom in Blackpool. Firstly, on Friday, we have the legendary Mark
00:20
Almond with a voice that defined a generation. From the hypnotic, tainted love to the poignant
00:25
something's gotten hold of my heart, Almond has carved a niche for himself with tracks that have
00:30
not just topped charts, but have also etched memories. Then on the following Saturday evening,
00:35
we have the revolutionary sound of Heaven's 17. The innovative band behind enduring hits like
00:40
Temptation and Come Live With Me perform synth-laden grooves which showcase their unique blend of
00:45
social commentary and infectious electronica. Get online quick for early bird tickets for both those
00:51
events from £34 a ticket. Now then, this episode of Five Things covers a week which includes St
00:58
Patrick's Day, so it's off to the King George's Hall in Blackburn for Irish Annie's, a musical
01:03
comedy by Isa Murphy. Set within Irish Annie's pub, a brand new musical celebrating the best of
01:08
Irish culture from the music through to the comedy, featuring a live five-piece band shenanigans.
01:14
The show has audiences laughing, singing and dancing the night away. Sing-along sheets are
01:18
handed out to all attending. Cast includes Ricky Tomlinson, Katherine Rice and Isa Murphy. It's
01:24
been known for a special guest to walk through the pub door too, you just never know who might walk
01:28
in. It's on Sunday 17th March, which is Paddy's Day itself, and tickets for that riotous sounding gig
01:34
are £27.50. Next we head to an event hidden away in the heart of the Ribble Valley. The Hideaway
01:41
Cabaret is a relatively new and significantly exclusive monthly cabaret show which is under
01:45
wraps at Flipside Fitness. By day this facility is full of light and laughter, the home of gymnastics
01:51
classes, but every month on selected weekends it's transformed into a live cabaret lounge that oozes
01:57
style and sultry sophistication, guaranteed to deliver an evening of high quality immersive
02:02
entertainment. Expect resident dancers and a wide variety of acts both in the air and performing
02:08
acrobatic floor routines, all set to a sensational range of music genres. That's on Saturday 16th
02:14
of March and tickets are from £45 and you can bring your own drinks. Can't say fairer than that.
02:20
Lastly we're at the Duke's Theatre in Lancaster for a show that's surely a must for all fans of
02:25
Friends. Central Perk coffee shop owner Gunter is widely acknowledged to be the seventh Friend,
02:31
appearing in 185 episodes, so he's perfectly placed to retell all 10 seasons and 236 episodes
02:39
in just one hour. Settle down in Gunter's Cafe to hear the true insider story of what happened
02:44
to Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Monica and Joey from the Friends character who kept them
02:49
caffeinated throughout the highs, the lows, the love affairs and the failed auditions along the
02:54
way. Enjoy that one on Saturday the 16th of March for £16. There you are, another busy week. Join me
03:02
next week for another five things to do, but in the meantime, happy St Patrick's Day.
