Dates in our diary for the summer include:
- Travis - The Man Who in Concert, Monday 25th June: Hubs and I love this band and first went to see them very early on in our relationship, so they hold a special place for us and we've seen them many times over the years. I can't wait to see them in this special location, it'll be such a different experience.
- Kevin and Karen Dance Live Tour, Saturday 14th July: I worked with this Strictly Come Dancing pair a few years ago and one of my best friends used to dance with Kevin when she was a young teen. We went to see them when they came to Birmingham on their tour last year and absolutely loved the show, so we cannot wait to go back again and we swept away by their charm and their talented crew.
Stay tuned for reviews and you can follow me on Instagram for live updates at each event too.

perform at the iconic Symphony Hall on 20 July for their only full UK show of
2018. Heralded by Quincy Jones as the “baddest
vocal cats on the planet!”, Take 6 is the quintessential a cappela group
and model for vocal genius.
Audiences can look forward to hearing six virtuosic voices
united in crystal clear harmony, against a backdrop of syncopated rhythms,
innovative arrangements, and funky grooves that bubble into an intoxicating
brew of gospel, jazz, R&B, and pop.
