POYNTON PARTY IN THE PARK RETURNS THIS SUMMER WITH SMASH HIT SUPERSTARS

 

Disco legends Odyssey headline the biggest party in the park to date

________________________________________________________________________________

 

Poynton Party in the Park returns this summer - and it promises to be the biggest since the annual fundraiser was launched more than 20 years ago.

 

This year’s event takes place on Saturday, 8 June and will be headlined by disco superstars Odyssey.

 

The band, who formed in New York in the 1970s, will perform all their biggest disco classics live including top five hits Native New Yorker, Inside Out, disco anthem Going Back to My Roots and the UK number one Use it Up & Wear it Out.

 

They will take to the main stage at Poynton Park for a special full-length concert nearly 50 years after their iconic single Native New Yorker rocketed up the charts around the world. The band went on to sell millions of records worldwide in the 1970s and 1980s.

 

Speaking ahead of the not-for-profit event, lead singer Steven Collazo said: “We’re so excited to be headlining Poynton Party in the Park this June, we’ve heard you guys know how to party and we can’t wait to get our groove on with y’all!”

 

The incredible line up continues with a selection of talented local performers supporting the American hitmakers, including critically acclaimed party band The Soul Providers who recreate the great soul hits of the 1960s; Manchester singer/songwriter Imogen Paige; the brilliant Soulvation Band who deliver soul, funk, Motown and disco classics; Liverpool-based indie band The Garnetts and, returning due to popular demand, party in the park favourites Poynton’s very own Monkey Harris Band.

 

This year the party in the park is staged by local festival organiser Max Eden working alongside founders Poynton Rotary to deliver a refreshed and updated event for all the family to enjoy.

 

Max Eden said: “I’m thrilled to be working with Poynton Rotary this year to stage the biggest Poynton Party in the Park to date. We have an incredible headliner alongside outstanding local musicians and performers, amazing family attractions and the best food and drink from the local area - it’s the perfect line up for a really good party!

 

“We hope to raise vital funds for Poynton Rotary to enable them to continue the incredible work they do locally in supporting charities and community groups in our area.”

 

The one-day festival will also feature lots of new and exciting additions for 2024 including traditional funfair rides for all ages, alongside an extended showcase of the amazing local food and drink in the area and a new VIP area offering premium seating, table service bar and exclusive meet and greet opportunities.

 

Local Radio Station; Happy Radio UK will be at the event as the Festival’s Official Radio Partner, the radio station for Manchester, Cheshire and across the North West features a host of well known presenters including Steve Penk, Darren Proctor and Chelsea Norris.

Review of Coram Boy at The Lowry by Natalie Anglesey

Image
Chichester Festival Theatre’s production of Coram Boy, is at The Lowry until June 29. Review by Natalie Anglesey .  Ignore any previous reviews you have read of Coram Boy, prior to its current stay at The Lowry this week. My advice is to see it yourself and make up your own mind. I'm certainly glad I did. The majority of reviews have so far been negative with only a few comparing this mammoth work with that of the great Charles Dickens. However, if like me you're a fan of the famous author, you may agree because the themes are concerning corruption of the worst kind. This powerful piece which received a rapturous reception, also features Handel’s glorious music throughout this astonishing production.  Helen Edmundson’s stage adaptation of Jamila Gavin’s Whitbread Award-winning novel, premiered at the National Theatre in 2005 before transferring to Broadway. Prepare to be impressed – as I certainly was - when I saw it at The Lowry.  The time period is the 18th century with...

Twelve Angry Men at The Lowry - Review by Natalie Anglesey

Image
  Twelve Angry Men The Lowry, Salford Review by Natalie Anglesey   Following previous record-breaking West End seasons, and a critically acclaimed tour in 2023, Bill Kenwright Ltd’s powerful production of  Twelve Angry Men  is at  The Lowry  this week until   2 nd  March 2024. Ever since the powerful fifties film starring Henry Fonda, which was nominated three times for Academy Awards, and since then, several stage productions over the years, this splendid court-room drama has never failed to impress me. Now there’s the chance for you to see Reginald Rose’s knife-edge courtroom drama at The Lowry all this week. The cast is now headed by  Jason Merrells  ( Casualty, Emmerdale )  taking over the role of Juror 8 from Patrick Duffy for the 2024 tour. He subtly holds  the whole production together. The cast also includes   Tristan Gemmill  ( Coronation Street, Casualty ),   Michael Greco  (EastEnde...

The Osmonds - A New Musical next year!

Image
The Osmond's new musical is coming to Manchester!  M y best friend was an avid Osmond fan in her teens and she still is. Personally I've had the pleasure of interviewing Donny Osmond for @BBCRadioManchester and I also became a fan!  It's that kind of unfailing dedication that the Osmonds have held on to over the past 50 plus years.Now Osmondmania is returning to Manchester with a musical by Jay Osmond which tells the story of the brothers from Utah who were in the spotlight as children and went on to sell over 100 million records gaining a huge army of fans. From their star residency on The  Andy Williams  Show, to the arrival of Donny and Marie, The Osmonds lived a remarkable life recording chart topping albums, selling out vast arena concerts and making record breaking TV shows - until one bad decision cost them everything. Directed by  Shaun Kerrison  and choreographed by Olivier Award winning  Bill Deamer , this brand new musical features a chart...
