Thursday 28th February 08 - Music and Comedy Exchange at The Dorchester Hotel

Hosting the night as usual is harriWattsband and tonight they'll be introducing:

Andy Train - Relaxed to the Point of Incontinence. Andy Train is a registered nurse and a warm, funny, camp, entertaining bloke. His show covers samples and shaving, false teeth and the things he finds up people's bottoms. A sweet hour in which Train is so likeable he'll make you cancel your BUPA subscription. The Nocturnal Flowers - The eponymous first CD from The Nocturnal Flowers captures their essence of song writing, musical and vocal skills ... that mix has earned them a dedicated following, with their recent album release that should increase dramatically.

Woodsmoke - Woodsmoke are James & Mat, an acoustic duo. Their love for vocal harmonies and similar music tastes ensured that they clicked straight away. With James' mellow, folk-like vocal style, and Mats' intricate guitar playing along with close vocal harmonies Woodsmoke are not to be missed. Tickets: £4 in advance or £5 on the door INCLUDING FOOD Doors open 7.00pm, food served 7.30pm til 8.30pm, music 8.30pm - 11.00pm'ish Tickets are available in advance - call Dorchester Hotel (01482) 343276 or Dave Watts on 07980 282266 or Alternatively email davewatts@dall.karoo.co.uk

Reviews, Out of Town - Wednesday 6th February 08 - Open Mic Night at The Locomotive Inn, York By Michelle Dee
	A bit of a thisisUll gang night out this one, with Cilla Uberwebfuhrer, Jane Fozzy Foster and Michelle the scribe Dee. Representing Ull tonight Joe just got signed Hakim and Mike, mad as a bicycle Watts. Our trip out to York began with a vicious nasal assault, as we got stuck behind a fertilizer tractor just before Market Weighton. In the back of the car it smelt as though a rat Read more...

Reviews, Cinema - VUE HD Digital Cinema, Princes Quay By Dave Fox
	I feel a bit of a naughty writing this, considering my friend is running the new cinema in St Steven's Square (sorry Sal) but I am so impressed with Vue, the new cinema on the top deck of the Princes Quay. I've just recently got into the High Definition at home with Blue Ray and HD TV so I was buzzing when I heard about a brand Read more...

Reviews, Events - Wednesday 19th December 07 - Off The Road at The Adelphi By Michelle Dee
	Jane Foster opened the show by taking a traditional Christmas poem and bringing it right up to date. So 'Twas The Night Before Christmas was set on a decrepit council estate with characters more attuned to Christmas spirits rather than the spirit of Christmas. Jane delivered the five minute piece with a cool ease and her references to local Read more...

Reviews, Theatre - Monday 15th October Disposable People A Croft Creative Production By Andrew Pearson and Thom Stridd At The Boatshed Hull Marina (show runs from 15th - 20th October) By Michelle Dee
	Monday evening, inside a cavernous boat shed on Hull marina, a tale of international importance and concern is unfolding.

Reviews - Thursday 20th September - Poetry And Music - ThisisUll At Babylon Bar, Cleethorpes By Michelle Dee

Reviews, Events - Wednesday 22nd August Off The Road Poetry Performance Music Adelphi Club
	Got in to this late due to being on the radio so first off apologies to all the acts I missed. I'm quite sure you were brilliant and zany in that order.

I also know having seen his zany act at Umber Gob Part 1, that Read more...
