Saturday 22nd March - Born To Run Bruce Springsteen Tribute At The Dorchester Hotel Hull

It's 'Boss' time...... proudly presenting the country's leading Bruce Springsteen tribute band rocking at The Dorchester Hotel, Beverley Road, Hull, on Saturday 22nd March 2008. Fans of The Boss are in for a real treat when Born To Run, the only national touring Springsteen cover band in the UK, provides a rare opportunity to experience Bruce's music performed live on stage in this area.

Born To Run', taking their name from Springsteen's breakthrough 1974 single, will be performing a blistering performance of well over two hours, featuring many Bruce classics including "Thunder Road", "Born In The USA", "Glory Days", "Hungry Heart", "Dancing In The Dark", "Brilliant Disguise", "Badlands", "Born To Run" and so many, many more. Doors open at 7.30pm and the band will be on stage from 9pm to 11.30pm approximately. Admission will be £7 on the door on the night. Springsteen himself is actually playing dates in the UK in May of this year so this is a great chance for fans to preview the songs and warm up for the big event.

Lead singer, Mark Priestley, adds, "Springsteen fans are always passionate about their music and are usually up singing and dancing to these marvellous songs. Bruce has earned his dues with a catalogue of thirty years' worth of consistently top class music and our aim is to give people a great night out and show them just how good this music really is." Doors open at 7.30pm and the band will be on stage from 9pm to 11.30pm approximately. Admission will be £7 on the door on the night. For further information about the event please feel free to contact The Dorchester on 01482 343276 or telephone Neil, the concert promoter, on 01924 262631 after 6pm. www.born-to-run.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.

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, 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. To be honest I have it on good authority that performance poet Mike Watts who opened the show was indeed all that you can read more of his poems in the poetry section on this site. I also know having seen his zany act at Umber Gob Part 1, that Read more...
