BRITAIN’S
GOT TALENT STARS TAKE TO THE STAGE
The Jive Aces: Jump, Jive & Wail - Saturday 10thFebruary 2018
Cal Halbert: Saturday Night at The Customs House
- Saturday 17th February
2018
South Shields Customs House
Two acts from Britain’s Got Talent (BGT)
are coming to The Customs House this month.
The Jive Aces
reached the semi-finals of the ITV talent competition in 2012 and have toured
extensively, performing in more than 30 countries.
Hailed as the UK’s No. 1 jive and
swing band, the rockabilly group actually formed in 1989 in Essex and their
first taste of TV stardom came when they won BBC’s Opportunity Knocks.
In March 2011, the six-piece produced
a YouTube video for their cover of the Morecombe and Wise theme song, Bring Me
Sunshine, in a Louis Prima style. It went viral - with more than 3.2 million
views amassed so far - and went on to win several awards at film festivals and
a Silver Telly Award.
They performed their version of The
Jungle Book classic I Wanna Be Like You on BGT and even managed to put a smile
on notoriously grumpy judge Simon Cowell’s face. He told them: “Absolutely
brilliant. That really put me in a good mood.”
They have performed several times in
front of HRH The Queen and played Glastonbury in 2015 for the second time, but
their first on the Avalon stage.
They are bringing their spectacular
Jump, Jive & Wail show to The Customs House on Saturday 10thFebruary 10, at 7.30pm. Tickets are from
£15.
They will be joined by Miss Amy
Baker, a jazz and swing musician from London, and the lindy hoppers from UK
swing dance club, Jive Swing.
Lead singer Ian Clarkson, who also
plays trumpet and ukulele, said: “We are looking
forward to coming back to The Customs House. We
were there the first week it opened and now we will bring a great new show to
the venue - Jump, Jive & Wail. People will leave the theatre in a fabulous
mood!"
The second BGT act to appear at The
Customs House this month is comedian and impressionist Cal Halbert – one half
of The Mimic Men, alongside writer, actor, comedian and BBC Radio Newcastle
presenter, Alfie Joey.
Cal’s variety show promises a
jam-packed evening of songs, magic, impressions, comedy and dance numbers in
the style of Tonight at the London Palladium.
Cal, who recently made his panto
debut in The Lambton Worm at The Customs House, playing Lord Larry Lambton,
said: “I’m really excited to be returning for this one-man variety show, well,
loosely a one-man variety show. I’ve got
my mate Alfie Joey coming down to sing a song with me. There’s going to be a
lot of singing and a lot of comedy. Get your tickets now!”
Cal returns to the stage in Saturday
Night at The Customs House on Saturday
17th February, at 8pm, with tickets priced £10.
