Live Music

The Pavilion Shanty Choir

Join a brand-new singing group dedicated to exploring sea shanties and maritime music, celebrating the rich musical heritage of East Anglia's fishermen and sailors from days gone by. We'll meet and sing at the Pavilion Theatre in Gorleston, just a stone's throw from the Norfolk shoreline—close enough for the rhythm of the waves to lend their own accompaniment to our voices. This group will celebrate the music of our local seafaring communities, bringing to life the folk songs they created to share stories, mark the passing of time at sea, and preserve their culture. Led by Paul and Stephen of The Rogue Shanty Buoys—a professional sea shanty group with over a decade of experience - the group is part of a wider cultural and arts/heritage research project run by their not-for-profit arts organisation, The Voice cLoud. With a passion for keeping maritime music alive, they'll guide you through a stirring and spirited repertoire. Sign up to come along and sing traditional sea shanties, whaling songs, naval ballads, work songs, foc'sle tunes, and romantic ballads of roguish ne'er-do-wells. Expect tales of shipwrecks, smuggling, seafarers, and even the occasional murder ballad - all wrapped in evocative melodies of a bygone era. Fortnightly on a Tuesday, 1:30pm-3pm.

The Jerry Lee Lewis Rock N Roll Songbook

Jerry Lee Lewis was undoubtedly the first wild man of rock!! This exhilarating and fast paced show tells the story of the star’s meteoric rise to stardom and his equally fast fall from grace before regaining his crown as the most exciting live performer the world has ever witnessed. Peter Gill - the UK’s No.1 tribute to the Killer is supported on stage by his live band and he is thrilled that they are back in theatres across the country in 2025/2026 in a revamped and even better format than when it last toured in 2015. More than 20 rock ‘n’ roll and country hits punctuate the narrative such as Great Balls of Fire, Whole Lotta Shakin’, Wild One, Roll Over Beethoven, Johnny Be Good, Jailhouse Rock, Be Bop A Lula, Chantilly Lace, High School Confidential, Your Cheatin Heart, Mean Woman Blues, Good Golly Miss Molly and ‘Don’t Be Cruel.

Martin Jarvis as Tom Jones

With his powerful voice, Martin Jarvis was always told "you sound like Tom Jones" and was endlessly asked to perform a 'Tom' song. One song always led to another and soon he was performing his complete Tom Jones Tribute Show all over the world, from Vegas to Hong Kong.
