Ray Lewis: Still Drifting

A genuinely soulful performance capable of captivating any audience, Ray Lewis’ magnificent show Still Drifting is a spectacle to behold. Building further upon his pioneering work with legendary soul group The Drifters, Ray’s colourful career as an entertainer has gone from strength to strength. Demonstrating incredible musical talents, he was soon picked up by iconic soul act The Drifters. Replacing original vocalist Johnny Moore, Ray excelled in his role as the group’s lead singer. He instantly set about re-recording many of The Drifters’ best-known hits, becoming an instantly recognisable voice for the group. Enjoying an extensive career at the forefront of the American soul, Ray came to work with many of the leading names of his day. Performing alongside the likes of Joe Blunt, Ben E King, Bill Fredericks and Clyde Brown, Ray quickly acquired a reputation as a leading name among soul singers. Spreading his wings as an exciting solo performer, Ray’s incredible show sees him mix popular soul classics with many of the best-loved The Drifters hits. His extensive musical repertoire incorporates many of their most memorable songs, including Saturday Night at the Movies, Save the Last Dance for Me, There Goes My Baby, Come On Over To My Place, Up On the Roof and Under The Boardwalk. An extravaganza of soul and Motown excellence, Ray’s performance is one of the most exciting shows in the soul genre today.

10cc's Graham Gouldman & Heart Full Of Songs

For lovers of perfectly-crafted music performed by the composer, a Heart Full of Songs concert. 10ccs Graham Goldman & Heart full of songs is truly an exquisite experience. When 10cc co-founder Graham Gouldman formed what became Heart Full of Songs more than a decade ago, it was purely for the pleasure of laying the songs he wrote or co-wrote in their simplest form, acoustically. It started as a three-piece supporting at 10cc concerts and quickly evolved into a stand-alone entity. These days Heart Full of Songs is a semi-acoustic/electric, four- piece with its next UK tour set for October 2026, comprising 18 concerts and culminating at London’s Cadogan Hall on 29 October. Featuring material from across Graham’s catalogue, the set includes such classics as 10cc’s I’m Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday; Bus Stop and Look Through Any Window, which were hits for The Hollies; For Your Love and Heart Full of Soul (the Yardbirds); No Milk Today (Herman’s Hermits); Bridge To Your Heart from his time with the late Andrew Gold as Wax, along with songs from film soundtracks and his solo albums. Acknowledgement of Graham’s achievements has been growing more widely too, with him awarded an MBE in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours list, for services to music.

Meet The Deans

Meet the Deans Returns to Liverpool – Epstein Theatre, 29th & 30th October 2026 The much-loved Liverpool family comedy Meet the Deans is back this October at the Epstein Theatre, promising laughter, chaos, and heartfelt family moments. Written over 20 years ago while the playwright waited in Newcastle Hospital during her sister-in-laws heart transplant, the play draws on real-life family experiences to deliver humour, warmth, and emotional depth. The story follows a hard-working mother whose five grown-up children all move back home, bringing baggage, secrets, and conflict— until one revelation changes everything. Meet the Deans has previously delighted audiences in Liverpool in 2009, 2010 and 2012, earning standing ovations and glowing praise. Rock legend John Parr (Grammy nominated, Academy Award nominee for Road to Damascus) called it: “The main speech ripped the heart out of the room and even sitting on the back row those words and delivery hit home and rang so true.” Sky 1 & ITV writer Maria Ward added: “Natural, clever dialogue which makes you laugh out loud one moment and then quietly nod in recognition the next. It has moments that catch in your throat and kinds you remember long after the curtain falls.” This special revival returns Meet the Deans to the city where it first won hearts celebrating family, humour, and love under one roof. Performance Dates: 29th& 30th October 2026 Tickets: £29.50
