The Jersey Boys by The Ragdolls

The Maltings · Ely

“The Ragdolls” will take you on a musical journey through the well known career of one of the most successful bands of all time “Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons”. Having listened to some classic songs such as “Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Oh What A Night, Big Girls Don't Cry, Working My Way Back To You, Let's Hang On, Why Do Fools Fall In Love” and many more…..”The Ragdolls” recreate the iconic sound of the “Jersey Boys.” In the first part of the show the Boys take you back to where it all began, recreating cover versions of 50’s songs as the Four Seasons did including hits such as Still of the Night, Oh Carol, Teenager in Love, and Why do Fools Fall in Love. With slick choreography and the recognisable falsetto this really sets the scene. Acoustic versions of songs are a highlight in this part which show off the diversity and harmonic sounds as once done by the great band themselves. By the end of the first half, you will definitely be “hanging on” to your seats and “beggin” for more. The second half of the show is truly party time, where all the well famous hits come out such as, Cant Take My Eyes off You, Ragdoll, Walk Like A Man, Grease, and many mo...

John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett

The Maltings · Ely

On the road again in 2026 with their latest tour: ALIVE AND GIGGING! John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett have been at it .... and each other.... for over 50 years. Hilarious …. totally outrageous …. superb musicianship: It's guaranteed you'll never see anything like it again. Totally unmissable! On the road again with their ALIVE AND GIGGING tour, this magnetic bond still holds after more than 50 years of attempted escapes. Still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the deadpan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious to watch. John’s lyrical genius is ably complimented by Willy’s outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making including the Bagpuss!) . For any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who don’t know what to expect, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another: An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers. This show is reserved seating - seats allocated on the night. All enquiries / disabled bookings directly through th...

Marquee Square Heroes

St Peter's · Marlborough

⭐ MARQUEE SQUARE HEROES – THE FISH YEARS CELEBRATION ⭐ If you lived through the 80s, you’ll remember when music was EVERYTHING. When we waited for every scrap of news in the music press or on teletext, desperate to know what MARILLION were doing next. From Fish joining in ’81 to the Script for a Jester’s Tear breakthrough in ’83, the rise was explosive. A No.1 album, and the single Kayleigh dominating the summer of ’85. In 1986 60,000 fans attended Milton Keynes for the Welcome to the Garden Party show— MARILLION became arguably the biggest band in the UK, maybe Europe. Seven magical years we’ll never forget. 🎭 MARQUEE SQUARE HEROES have been keeping that magic alive across the UK and Europe, recreating the Fish era with incredible authenticity. One of the standout moments of the 2026 tour was performing Misplaced Childhood in full at St Peter’s Church, Marlborough — followed by 90 minutes of classics and a stunning Grendel. A night to remember. 🌟 2027 – A VERY SPECIAL WEEKEND AT ST PETER’S We’re coming back for a unique two night celebration. Each night: two full studio albums, plus non album tracks from the same era. Every recorded song from th...
