Canadian Celtic supergroup to play Nailsea

Hailing from Nova Scotia, Canadian Celtic supergroup Còig have announced a series of live dates across the UK this February including a North Somerset gig.

They will play Nailsea Folk Club on Sunday, February 16.

The tour will follow up their hugely successful series of gig in the UK last spring when the quartet stunned crowds across the country with their non-traditional and exciting style of traditional music.

Comprising Darren McMullen (guitar, mandolin, mandola, banjo, bouzouki, whistles, flute, vocals), Rachel Davis (fiddle, viola, vocals), Chrissy Crowley (fiddle) and Adam Young (piano), the four players of Còig grew up and played together in Cape Breton and it wasn’t until years later they decided to form a band together.

The comprising result is a magic and creative combination of musical influences and harmonious sounds.

Crowds at UK venues will be treated to songs from the band’s latest release Ashlar, meaning ‘a perfect fit’, which was recorded in Dave Gunning’s Wee House of Music studio in Nova Scotia during a brief break in touring.

Fiddler Chrissy said: “We love playing to UK audiences, our spring tour last year was just amazing and we are so excited to get back and visit again this February. 

"We can promise audiences an eclectic mix of lively and original sets to more traditional ballads and energetic covers - we think there’s definitely something for everyone. 

"We’re looking forward to welcoming fans old and new to Nailsea Folk Club this February!”

The album itself is full of surprises, including Gordon Lightfoot '60's classic Home From The Forest, featuring vocals from Darren, as well as Rachel's beautiful version of the Gaelic standard O Luaidh.

There’s also a set of jigs and reels called Time & Tide, inspired by Chrissy’s new-found passion for joining her brother as crew member on a Cape Breton fishing boat, among many other stunning tracks.

SWAP SHOP: Nailsea Clothes Exchange is hosting its first 'swap not shop' evening at the Tithe Barn on Tuesday, February 25, 7-8.30pm. This concept of acquiring new outfits has been put together by a group of local mums. There is no pricing on items all you pay is a £1.50 entry fee to cover venue hire. If you bring along four items of clothing you could potentially leave with four different items chosen from the rails. And it is not just clothes it is accessories and shoes too. Although this is the first the idea it to run the clothes exchange once a month and extend it to all genders and maybe children too. The environmentally friendly idea is: bring your unwanted clothes and leave with a new outfit. This reduces clothes consumption and saves money. The idea was reported in Vogue under the title How Clothes Swapping Became Chic which you can read HERE.

CADBURY HOUSE: Other events are HERE on its own page plus an up-to-date review with the food and drink reviews HERE  

SUNSHINE PARTY: Don't let sand get in your eyes when you swap your winter sports kit for summer flip-flops and swimming gear as Nailsea United Football Club is hosting a Beach Party at Grove Sports Centre & Social Club on Saturday, February 22 from 7.30pm. Ticket price and availability to come...

CHOO CHOO: Nailsea & District Model Railway Club next exhibition at Nailsea School is on Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29. It opens at the Mizzymead Road from 10am-5pm on the Saturday and 10am-4pm on the Sunday. Admission is adult £6, child £2 or family ticket  (2+2) £14

Grand Pier theme park fun

Nailsea's nearest 'theme park' is on the Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare.

The latest games to be installed are two new Comi-X air hockey tables with action-packed comic-style graphics and eye-catching LED lighting.

Grand Pier Tim Moyle general manager Tim Moyle said: “We are always looking to bring new attractions to the Pier and also to refresh and replenish existing ones. 

"I’m sure visitors to the Pier will love these new air hockey tables, which look amazing. We find that the more traditional games like air hockey remain consistently popular because of the interaction they offer to families, as well as the competitive nature of the game.” 

The air hockey tables won’t be the only new features people will find appearing at the pier during the coming weeks, as the attraction gets itself fully ready for the new season-proper, which traditionally starts at Easter. 

A brand-new, eight-player, digital Pac-Man pusher is also due to arrive soon.

A number of other new games will be appearing in the Pier’s Pavilion over the coming weeks on a trial basis; if they prove popular enough, the Pier will consider making a permanent purchase.

These include:

• Tomb Raider video game

• House of the Scarlet Dawn, the latest video game in the House of the Dead series

• Several ticket-redemption machines, including:

  • Robot Storm, a ball-shooting game

  • Hero of Steel, a water-shooting game

  • Robot Battle, another ball-shooting game.

Mr Moyle said: “These should all be coming on line over the next few weeks, and those that become most popular with our visitors will be permanently added to our wide-ranging offer which provides something for the whole family.”

To find out about the wide range of other attractions, events and entertainments at the Grand Pier all year round, visit www.grandpier.co.uk

Weston birthplace of Basil

Give the gift of laughter this Christmas

A top tourist attraction has a cracking idea for a Christmas present which is guaranteed to bring a smile to someone’s face; why not give the gift of laughter?

If you’re stumped for ideas for a family member, the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare has something which is just the ticket; a night of madcap comedy and fine food.

On Friday, January 31, the Pier will once again play host to the popular Faulty Towers Dining Experience.

Tickets for this event make the perfect present as they will provide someone with an evening they will never forget.

The event is officially the world’s longest-running and most successful tribute to the legendary BBC sitcom Fawlty Towers.

The ‘outrageously funny’ experience has enjoyed sell-out success all over the world, from Sydney Opera House to London’s West End, as well as playing at Edinburgh Fringe.

A talented team of actors bring the classic comedy characters to life in a fully immersive, highly-interactive evening, dishing up plenty of delights to diners.

Service with a scowl will be the order of the day as guests get a taste of that unique customer service offered by Basil, Sybil and Manuel, with all the chaos and confusion that made the BBC show such a favourite with generations of viewers.

Grand Pier spokesman Lucy Graham said: “This is a very popular event, and with 70 per cent of the show being improvised, it can truly be said that it’s never the same twice.

“So, if you’re struggling to think of what to buy someone for Christmas, why not treat them to tickets to the Faulty Towers Dining Experience, where they can enjoy fine food, lots of laughs and a brilliant night out.”

For ticket details about this, as well as information about the wide range of events, attractions and activities available at the Grand Pier all year round, visit www.grandpier.co.uk

Killer Queen will rock you again at Grand Pier

After a sell-out success in 2019 a critically-acclaimed Queen tribute act has already been booked to make a return visit to Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier in 2020.

Killer Queen’s inaugural visit to the iconic seafront attraction in May 2019 saw hundreds of fans fill the Pier’s pavilion.

Tickets are now on sale for their return visit - a ConciergeUK event - which is on Friday, May 8, 2020.

Killer Queen were formed in 1993 and their first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the legendary band that inspired them, as the real Queen played their first shows at the same venue 21 years before.

Killer Queen remains the only tribute band to have sold out the same arenas as the originals in their heyday.

The act’s performances at Forest National and Ahoy were scale recreations of Queen’s own epic performances there.

Acknowledged as the longest-established Queen tribute act, Killer Queen tour extensively all over Europe and the US, where they are regular performers at such prestigious American venues as Red Rocks and Austin City Limits.

Frontman Patrick Myers has won widespread acclaim for his recreation of the style and showmanship of Freddie Mercury.

Daily Mail writer Baz Bamigboye said 'Patrick Myers' recreation of Queen's lead singer is simply uncanny' while the critic for The People newspaper said 'Concerts as near to the real thing as you're likely to get. A real-life Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Lives! A Pop Legend Is back'.

The BBC’s Duncan Kennedy said 'no detail is overlooked. Killer Queen are kings of the musical impersonators, the highest of tributes' and Der Western said 'very accurate. Almost frightening. The show, singing, music and appearance are unbelievably similar to the original. Skipping across the stage with his three and half octave broad tenor powering through the arena, Patrick's spark set the 10,000 Ahoy audience on fire. They danced, sang and clicked their fingers, all under Myers' direction. The best thing since Queen'.

For the next Grand Pier show, there is limited availability of two special VIP packages.

VIP Lounge and Premium Standing include a VIP bar, VIP toilets and premium standing at the front of the stage.

The VVIP Balcony View option includes a glass of Prosecco on arrival, two-course buffet, table seating, VIP toilets and a Premium standing view of the stage from the balcony.

There is an age restriction of 14 and over and under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

For ticket details click HERE.

Grand Pier event manager Hollie Otley said: “The first Killer Queen concert here earlier this year was a sell-out success and proved very popular.

“We’re thrilled to be able to bring this acclaimed tribute act back next year and expect their return to also sell-out, so we would advise people to book early to avoid disappointment.”
