One Night Of Queen

"The spirit of the legendary Freddie Mercury is alive and well and performing as Gary Mullen"

When Gary Mullen won ITV's 'Stars In Their Eyes' Grand Final in 2000 as Freddie Mercury, he began a fantastic journey which has so far taken him to virtually every theatre and concert hall in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Holland and New Zealand.

His sell-out concerts are receiving rave reviews from audiences of all ages together with his band 'The Works'. 

They have recently appeared for the 'BBC's Proms in the Park' in Hyde Park, London, alongside Andrea Bocelli, Simply Red, and G4.

The 40,000 strong audience joined Gary and the boys in rebel rousing renditions of 'Radio Ga Ga', 'We Are the Champions' 'Somebody to Love' and 'It's A Kind Of Magic'

T-REX - THE GLITTER BAND - SUZI QUATRO -
WITH SPECIAL SURPRISE GUEST

"A fun-filled, family day starting at 2.00pm, with live music from original Seventies groups beginning at 5.30pm.  Funfair, food, drink and merchandise vendors, on-site pubs, picnic space,
memorial balloon-release, with a firework finale at approximately 11.00pm.  Tickets £25 per head; children under 12 go free, but must be accompanied by a responsible adult."

This talented artist began his career over three decades ago with appearances on Junior Showtime, followed by a grounding on the tough Northern club circuit.

His big break came in 1981 when he was a finalist on London Weekend Television's Search for a Star - this lead to appearances at the London Palladium with Bob Hope and The Talk of the Town. A short time later, Joe received the Variety Club of Britain award as Most Promising Artiste of the Year. Television specials in the UK and USA followed.

Joe's repertoire of voices is endless and includes hundreds of the world's top singers, however, he is perhaps best known for his impersonation of Shirley Bassey who has commented, "Joe can do me better than I can do myself".

During his career, Joe has received gold and platinum discs for his albums, enjoyed sell-out concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, as well as touring Australia several times.

Now, Joe is looking forward to new challenges, new songs to sing and new audiences to thrill.

Over 100 pupils from Year 6 at Upton Junior School Broadstairs under the direction of teacher Mrs Ruth Hendry will be taking part in their end of school production of 'Annie'.  This is the first time most of these pupils have performed on a professional stage and is the final activity they complete before moving onto their Secondary schools. The live musical accompaniment is provided by a band of young musicians under the directorship of Mr Robin Hendry.
