THE ONLY WAY IS (DAVID) ESSEX
Get ready for a pre-Halloween musical extravaganza with the return of Vampires Rock to Norwich Theatre Royal on October 9. The gothic story of love and passion features the powerful vocals of Steve Steinman plus top musicians and dancers in an evening featuring the tunes of classic performers like Meatloaf and Queen. The breathtaking story of a true female icon then takes to the stage on October 11-15 when Northern Ballet Theatre presents Cleopatra. It follows the story of the extraordinary woman who overturns convention and changes the course of history in a male- dominated world. Then music and stage sensation turned recent EastEnder David Essex is back with All The Fun Of The Fair from October 18-22. The musical features a host of his biggest hits and tells the story of a travelling fair as it tries to survive in the modern world. It features David (most recently seen as Albert Square’s Eddie Moon) and some of his biggest hits. The month then ends with lots of Thirties glitz and razzle- dazzle as the very first stage tour of Top Hat comes to Norwich on October 25-November 5. It tells the story of American tap dancer Jerry Travers, played by Strictly winner Tom Chambers, who meets the girl of his dreams Dale Tremont (triple Olivier Award nominee and West End favourite Summer Strallen).
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Black History Month is upon us once more as October rolls into view. The month is a capture-all for a variety of diverse events across the region, celebrating Black Excellence in Norfolk. Norfolk’s libraries play host to a wealth of these events, ranging from a Rap Workshop and Performance Poetry Event featuring the exceptional performance poet, Kenny Baraka at Cromer Library from 7:30-9:30pm, to talks at the Millennium Library in the Forum, Norwich. One of these such talks is ‘Pablo Fanque, Artiste of Colour’, on Sat October 15th. The talk joins community librarian Clive Wilkins-Jones on a journey to learn more about Norwich born Pablo Fanque, the first black circus owner in England. The Millennium Library also hosts ‘Chasin’ that Devil Music’ on Weds 19th October at 6:30pm: community Librarian Nick Little explores the influence of black music on the post-war generation. Take a musical journey through US Army and Airforce bases, the docks of London and Liverpool, and the record collections of John Mayall, The Beatles, The Who, the Rolling Stones (and many more) to find out why blues, jazz and soul is so important to the history of British pop culture.

DE-STRESS YOURSELF
After the stresses and strains of a full working day, it’s sometimes hard to unwind naturally (sinking a whole bottle of red doesn’t count!). Kerry Radley knew how hard it was to calm her mind before she took up yoga in her 20s. Like many heroic women, she juggled a demanding career, became a mother of three and had to deal with the emotional drain of losing her mother and coping with post-natal depression. Yoga was her saviour. Fifteen years later, Kerry is now more than qualified to instruct, with her studies in physiology, anatomy and her diploma from the British Wheel of Yoga making her a sound mind and a safe pair of hands on the subject. Kerry is now sharing the secrets in her after-work class on Mondays. Her aim is for people to drop in on their way home and to release the tensions they might have built up during the day. She says, “The class is on a Monday so it could also help people get back on form after the weekend, as well as to help with body shape, strength and flexibility.” The class runs at the Reiyukai Martial Arts Centre on Duke St, Norwich from 5:30-7:00pm, but Kerry also runs classes in Salhouse, Wroxham and Sprowston.
