Live Music

Around £28.50

A Foreigners Journey

A Foreigners Journey Friday 24 July, 7:30pm - Theatre All tickets £28.50 Legendary bands Foreigner and Journey are giants of the AOR (Adult Orientated Rock) and Classic Rock genres, attracting huge audiences as live acts since forming in the 1970’s. The two bands have achieved massive commercial and critical success and both sold in excess of 80 million albums, with their supreme musical quality ensuring that they’ve never been victims of trends or passing fashions, and even their earliest hits are still being played on radio shows worldwide every day. Sadly for those in the UK, their shows over here have been few and far between, and most fans of their music have not experienced the thrill of hearing it played live. Thankfully, however, the next best thing is here in the shape of the award-winning band A FOREIGNERS JOURNEY. A Foreigners Journey proudly won both the “UK’s Number 1 Tribute to Foreigner” and the “UK’s Number 1 Tribute to Journey” awards at the National Tribute Music Awards. Their talent has also been acknowledged by Jeff Pilson, bass player of Foreigner, who said “Check out this amazing band, they rock!” They have toured throughout the UK and Europe for the last 12 years, headlined a number of festivals and played to packed theaters and venues, safely establishing themselves as one of the most respected and known tribute shows around.

Coasteering - 25th July

We will meet at Portland Outdoor Centre for 13:00 where we’ll equip with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet. Once we’re ready to go and the group has assembled we’ll drive in convoy to Portland Bill (transport required). Once at ‘the Bill’, our session will commence. Swimming, Jumping, Scrambling, Wading and Exploring are all elements of our coasteering sessions. It’s a fully immersive activity, great for a dash of adrenaline or those who wish to wander a little further off the beaten path in safety. We aim to spend as long in the water as possible, but working around the tides and energy levels most sessions conclude after 1.5/2 hrs activity. Once out of the sea we will change ‘al freso’, unburden you of our equipment and leave you to your day! We are normally finished 3.5hrs after the initial meeting time, although some flexibility is required.
