THERE’S a week of variety planned at the Borough Theatre kicking off tonight with the annual St David’s Day concert marking the patron saint’s day with a celebration of the best of Welsh music and culture.

Leading the entertainment at the theatre’s traditional performance, which takes place on Wednesday, March 1, will be Blaenavon Male Voice Choir, which will perform a mixed programme blending Welsh standards with more modern offerings.

The performance, which is promoted by A4B, comes at a busy time for the award winning Blaenavon Male Voice Choir which in 2015 appeared in a feature length documentary called ‘Save Our Male Voice Choirs’ about the plight of the Welsh male voice choir which focused on several of the country’s top choirs, as well as choirs from across the globe.

Made by Focus Shift Films, the documentary attracted the attention of Welsh actor Michael Sheen who has lent his support to the choir.

As a result of the interest in the film, the choir has gained a number of new members many of whom will be taking part in next weeks’ performance at the Borough Theatre.

Tickets for the evening are available now from the Borough Theatre box office on 01873 850805 and even include a free Welsh cake to help mark the day.

The week continues on Thursday with the arrival of the Kast Off Kinks made up of former members of the legendary band The Kinks - Mick Avory, John Dalton and Ian Gibbons.

Expect all the hits, including You Really Got Me, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Sunny Afternoon, Lola and many more for a great night out!

Tickets, which cost £20 (concessions £18) are available from the Box Office on 01873 850805 or online at www.boroughtheatreabergavenny.co.uk

The packed week continues on Friday with the welcome return to the Borough of Mike Doyle, one of the UK’s best all round entertainers

Mike Doyle is one of a rare breed of entertainers around today, a true variety artist in every sense of the word, equally at home as a singer, comedian, actor or TV and radio presenter. His long and successful career began in the 1980’s honing his craft through the hard-nosed working men’s clubs of his native Wales and beyond. His big break came when he won the BBC’s Opportunity Knocks in 1988.

In 1990 he was awarded Best Stage Newcomer at the British Comedy Awards and since then he has appeared in three Royal Variety Performances and as a guest on literally hundreds of television variety performances, as well as his own comedy TV and radio programmes.

Mike Doyle’s live show at the Borough Theatre promises to be a night of pure musical excellence and belly aching laughter that will refresh parts you never knew you had!

Tickets, which cost £17 (concessions £15) are available from the Box Office on (01873) 850805 or booked online at www.boroughtheatreabergavenny.co.uk
