Northampton Film Festival 2024

Icons of British music, The Hollies, have announced a UK tour for 2023, celebrating embarking upon their 7th decade as a band. The Hollies have been entertaining audiences for over the last 60 years with their timeless hits such as Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress), The Air That I Breathe, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother, and Bus Stop. The band’s music has transcended generations and their live performances continue to captivate fans worldwide. The line-up includes powerhouse drummer Bobby Elliott, and singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, both of whom are original members of the band. They are joined by lead singer Peter Howarth, as well as bass player Ray Stiles, Keyboardist Ian Parker, and Steve Lauri on Rhythm Guitar. Last year the band celebrated 60 years together with a hugely successful UK tour. The Hollies are one of the key bands of the 1960s British Invasion era alongside the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The band have over 20 world-wide hits, including number one singles in both the US and UK. Spending an astonishing 263 weeks in the UK top 40 official singles chart, and have been performing continuously since their formation in 1962.

Killer Queen have been performing their tribute to Queen’s concerts since 1993. Their expert musicianship, extraordinary energy and accurate portrayal of the world’s greatest live band have rightfully earned them the title of Queen tribute royalty. Thrilling sell-out audiences across the globe from the UK to Europe and annual tour of USA, Killer Queen recreates the high energy, powerful phenomenon that was Queen live. Fronted by Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury,Time Out described Patrick’s resemblance to Freddie Mercury as “Spooky,” his uncanny likeness was further proven when he recorded a number one hit single singing as Freddie Mercury on Fat Boy Slim’s record The Real Life. This quality, combined with a powerful 3 1/2 octave tenor range and dynamic stage presence, has captivated audiences the world over.

Hello, Seann here. Did you know that comedians have to write their own blurb? I find that absolutely insane. What am I meant to say? “I’m fantastic, come and look at me talk”? I don’t know. It’s me. I do stand-up. I guess I can start with the fact I renamed the tour. Sticking with Same Again? felt a bit triggering after the year we’ve had. So it is now called Back From The Bed. Some of the material will be the same as I had always planned and some of it will be new because it will be difficult to avoid mentioning the last year in which millions of decent people tragically lost their lives to TikTok. The previous leg of this tour got a lot of standing ovations, which was pleasing. Either that or they were leaving early. Come along if you like me. I’d be confident enough to say come along if you’re on the fence. Cheers. Here are some things I’ve been on… Seann has starred in series 1-3 of The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2), Netflix’s Flinch, Live At The Apollo (BBC2), Tonight At The London Palladium (ITV), Celebrity Juice (ITV2), Play To The Whistle (ITV), a team captain for Virtually Famous (C4), 8 Out Of 10 Cats (C4), Alan Carr’s Chatty Man (C4), Hey Tracey!
