How come this thread got more hits than this thread. Has Diabate got more pulling power than Last of the summer wine - what is the world coming too.

The Theatre in Holmfirth gets some fantastic acts. My parents live there and I never cease to be amazed by the names on the billboard when I'm up visiting.

For such a small out of the way place they must have one hell of an organisation team. Then again maybe its some half mad fanatic who has the balls to ring some of the top acts around and ask them to come along to this beautiful corner of the north.

Just been to their website to see who's on in the coming months. Amongst others.....

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel
New Model Army
Blue Oyster Cult
Joan Armatrading
The Beat
Little Feat
Bill Wyman and The Rhythm Kings
Percy Sledge
Alabama 3
Blow Monkeys
Ocean Colour Scene
Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes
Wishbone Ash
Mick Fleetwood Blues Band
Bad Manners

...and this is litteraly a tiny theatre directly across the river from Syd's Cafe off Last Of The Summer Wine.

Holmfirth

I stayed there once many years ago, i think we were at a stadium gig for REM and it was a lovely little village.
