Entertainment & Events Gretchen Peters With Very Special Guest Kim Richey • 12 June • St David’s Hall


For two decades, Gretchen Peters has been one of Nashville’s most beloved and respected artists. “If Peters never delivers another tune as achingly beautiful as ‘On A Bus To St. Cloud,’” People Magazine wrote, “she has already earned herself a spot among country’s upper echelon of contemporary composers.” Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2014 by singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell, who called her “both a songwriter and a poet (who) sings as beautifully as she writes,” and said her song “The Matador”, “moved me so greatly, I cried from the soles of my feet”, Peters has accumulated accolades as a songwriter for artists as diverse as Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, Patty Loveless, George Strait, Bryan Adams and Faith Hill. Her 2015 album, ‘Blackbirds’, debuted at #1 on the UK Country chart tand in the top 40 UK pop chart, and was awarded International Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

Sherlock Holmes: The Final Curtain • 25 - 30 June • New Theatre


Sherlock Holmes lives in retirement on the South Coast. He keeps bees, occasionally casts his fly fishing rod, even plays his Stradivarius when the rheumatism allows. Aware that he’s older and slower, he’s concerned that he might be an easy target for his enemies. There have been so many over the years. So when Mary Watson (wife of his former associate Dr John Watson) tracks him down, telling him she has seen her long-dead son, James, through the window of 221B Baker Street, Holmes is determined to solve the mystery and confront his own demons at the same time. Robert Powell received multiple awards for his portrayal of Jesus in Franco Zefferelli’s Jesus of Nazareth. Liza Goddard is one of the UK’s favourite actresses. Her television work includes cult classics Doctor Who and Bergerac.
