"You have an amazing voice and the songs you sung were in my head all night. You are a brilliant storyteller with an excellent sense of humour." Live & Local Audience Member.

Cat Weatherill

Falling Like Feathers

Cat's second show will select stories from Old Europe that are full of luscious language and are sure to cast their dark, epic and seductive spell on you. Weaving several short stories together with her own live music and song, Cat illustrates how powerful and mesmerising storytelling can be, no matter what era it is from. At Codsall Village Hall on Friday.

"Such a different way to spend a pleasant evening! Thank you. I haven't been told a story for getting on 60 years and I relived the experience with some relish." Live & Local Audience Member

Boka Halat - Barn Dance

Join Boka Halat for a concert and ceilidh! The band have African and English members and rhythm a plenty. After they perform their 45 minute concert the floor will be cleared so the barn dancing (with a caller) can begin. The tunes and dance sets are English and the rhythms are African. Get ready to shake those hips at Hixon Memorial Hall on Friday!

"My experience of barn dancing was limited but it really didn’t matter. Within seconds of pulling back the chairs and tables every single person was up dancing! The atmosphere was incredible." Live & Local Audience Member

Flamin’ Dames

Face the music

The experienced and fantastic Flamin' Dames are bringing their glamorous and unique combination of opera, musicals, and comedy to Elton Village Hall on Saturday. This exciting show contains songs, dance, glamour and dramatics - all performed in the way only true Dames can!

Moby Dick

Richard Derrington

One of the world's greatest literary treasures is brought to the stage by two very talented actors - Richard Derrington, who has won the hearts of many Live & Local audiences, and his son Ned. Together they skillfully bring to life the epic story of one man’s struggle against the untameable beast of the seas.
