Widely considered as a touring force in Europe and attracting numerous accolades with their dynamic and flamboyant portrayal, LETZ ZEP create a musical collage with uncanny visual and sonic accuracy. Audiences are taken back in time to relish the atmospheric music and spirit of Led Zeppelin in those halcyon days. In recognition of their impressive musical pedigree & undeniable talent, LETZ ZEP has deservedly built a huge fan base transcending the celebrity world, age groups and nationalities alike. After seeing LETZ ZEP perform legendary Zep front man, Robert Plant commented it was like watching himself on stage, “I walked in, I saw me!” LETZ ZEP concerts are not an exercise in nostalgia, but a revolt against time, a heart rendering shout against mediocrity and forgetfulness, faithfully recreating the sights and sounds of Led Zeppelin at their awesome best. From the classics, ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and ‘Rock and Roll’ to the gentle ‘Going to California’ and the haunting ‘Kashmir’, LETZ ZEP may leave you dazed but certainly not confused as to why they are hailed as leaders in their field. « back to list » « close panel » | | | | | book by phone | | stockport plaza | | we recommend | 0844 815 4873 | | |

Taking place at the Garrick Theatre. The band was formed in the summer of 2005 by guitarists Andy Baker and Chris Clowsley as a result of their desire to not only play but perform the music of Pink Floyd with the same sense of adventure and experimentalism that made the band so unique in the Sixties and Seventies. From the outset their concept has been to capture both the spirit and the tonality of the music without being afraid to add to or adapt the originals to provide that genuine ‘live’ feel. Andy and Chris have over sixty years of playing experience between them and grew up to the sounds of Gilmour bending guitar notes to perfection and spending hours working out just how you get ‘that’ sound. They are joined by Jim Cooper, a fantastic young musician who can find his way around the five-string and fretless bass with the same sense of space and timing as Waters, Andy Dyehouse who has the ability to nail the right keyboard sound and also blows a mean sax and the powerhouse that is Stevie G on percussion. Stevie has been on the rock circuit for longer than he cares to admit to but is relishing the new challenge that Mason’s unique and quirky drum style is presenting. « back to list » « close panel » | | | | | book by phone | | stockport plaza | | we recommend | 0844 815 4873 | | |

Sergio Leone's monumental epic 'Once Upon A Time In The West' ranks among the five or six all-time Western masterpieces. The picture itself is as big as its Monument Valley locations, as grand as its fine, distinguished cast. Henry Fonda plays the blackest character of his long career. He's Frank, the ruthless, murderous psychopath who suffers conscience pangs after annihilating an entire family. Jason Robards is the half-breed falsely accused of the terrible slaughter. Charles Bronson plays the harmonica playing man who remembers how his brother was savagely tortured. Brilliantly directed by Leone and accompanied by one of Ennio Morriconne's greatest scores, this glorious picture helped re-establish the Western's significance. Watch out for that lengthy opening titles sequence. Starring Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards and Charles Bronson. « back to list » « close panel » | | | | | book by phone | | stockport plaza | | we recommend | 0844 815 4873 | | |

Joan Fontaine gives a moving, heartfelt performance as Lisa Berndl, a romantic young woman who falls in love with the handsome concert pianist Stephan Brandt (Louis Jourdan).

She bears the child herself and later enters into a stable marriage, although one lacking the passion and love she still feels for Stephan. Ten years later, when he returns to Vienna, Lisa attempts, at the risk of her marriage, to see if he loves, or even remembers her.

However following a drunken night, during which George recounts passionate stories involving a flamenco dancer from the top of a grand piano, he moves out. When he returns to the family home a few weeks later to sort out maintenance arrangements with the help of neighbours Roger and Betty, he and Linda discover that the flames of passion are not quite dead, albeit in need of a little fanning! Accompanied by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, Linda helps George to put the ex back into sex.
