JULIAN CLARY

LORD OF THE MINCE
I, Julian Clary, have done for mincing what Michael Flatley did for Irish dancing.

But has the bottom fallen out of the homosexual meat market? I must tour my kingdom to find out…

In these difficult times I feel I should go and comfort my people in the provinces. My friend Damien tells me the men are very hard up in Sheffield. I only hope I’m not too late.

I’m 50. The shame of it. This will be an intimate evening – a celebration, no less, of my twenty-five years in the camp spotlight: how I got there and why I refuse to leave. Come and see me before they put me in a home for tired old knackers.

SHAKEYS BROTHER

Shakeys Brother are the ultimate Indie-pop band: hook-oozing riffs filled with jangly drum and bass. With a string of live performances in the North West to their name, it's little surprise that Shakeys Brother have an ever increasing fan base, and have received record label interest from as far away as the USA.

A fantastic 5-piece band originating from the Burnley area. They formed in late 2008, and have gained huge support throughout last year, showcasing happy-go-lucky tunes that hook listeners in with memorable lyrics and sounds that you can dance to. They are the perfect summer festival band and, without a doubt, the band to look out for in 2010.

THE INDEPENDENT
"catchy Northern guitar pop"

STING
"The X Factor is a band like this, who sound like themselves. God bless them"

DYLAN MORAN - 'Warm Up'

Mega Irish comedian Dylan Moran has chosen Burnley Mechanics for a Warm Up gig before he embarks on a major European tour this spring.

Winner of Channel 4’s So You Think you’re Funny award 1993 and Perrier Award Winner for Comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 1996.

He played Rufus The Thief in the 1999 blockbuster romantic comedy Notting Hill, but he is probably most famous for his sit-com Black Books. Moran’s unique brand of dry humour and surreal situations bring the setting of an old book store to life in the most unexpected ways.
