The decision will be made based on the majority preference. There is a choice of about 6000 songs to sing from Robbie, Queen, Pink to Rhianna etc. The organiser will try and send out the song lists in advance, so you'll be able to pick your songs in advance. Plus there is a bar/waitress service available if you want a drink and this aids your singing!

Description:

A comedy play set in a small hostel in Southern Spain, by John Waterhouse. Directed by Darren Holness.

Peter has recently been made redundant and got divorced. He is determined to make use of his new found freedom by spending some time alone in Spain just reading and avoiding women. A small, quiet pension in Andalucia seems to be just what Peter is looking for until three backpackers arrive; Carol, the ex-girlfriend of an English gangster, Saskia, an annoyingly friendly Dutch woman and Mick, a loud-talking, hard drinking Australian. Then a curious detective from England arrives on the scene. Peter is now on a quest to find solitude and relaxation.

Venue/Time:

7.30pm, Salford Arts Theatre, Kemsing Walk, Liverpool Street, Salford M5 4BS (the theatre is very close to a Metro stop and about 15 minutes walk from Deansgate)

Booking:

Tickets £7.00 - book online at www.salfordartstheatre.co.uk or send an e-mail to John Waterhouse at john@jcwaterhouse.co.uk
