SHAUN RYDER – HAPPY MONDAYS, AND FRIDAYS, AND SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS

Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries, DG1 4TA

Wed 9th April 2025 7.30pm

He's the wild man of rock who became a national treasure. 

Happy Mondays and Black Grape frontman Shaun Ryder is hitting the road for a new, spoken word tour. 

The star of more-TV-shows-than-anyone-has-a-right-to-feature-on - including Celebrity Gogglebox, and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, among many others - redefined the sex'n'drugs'n'rock'n'roll lifestyle during the halcyon age of Madchester. 

He's touring in support of his new book: Happy Mondays - and Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays. 

Fans can look forward to a carnival of excess, wild tales, and improbable truths, as they enjoy the talents of a unique rock'n'roll star dubbed Britpop's answer to WB Yeats. 

Strap yourselves in and say Hallelujah for Shaun.

Hejira - Celebrating Joni Mitchell 
Hejira - Celebrating Joni Mitchell

Theatre Royal, Dumfries

Sat 12th April 2025 7.30pm

Since their formation in December 2022, the band has been a tremendous success, with sold out shows, standing ovations, a total of over 100K views on their YouTube channel and more than 700 enthusiastic comments and audience reviews.

Hejira' is a 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late '70s. Having released the albums 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns', 'Hejira', 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter' and 'Mingus' (regarded as her 'jazz period'), Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album, 'Shadows And Light'; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire. Comprising highly experienced jazz musicians, this band is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has - in her own way - assimilated the poise, power and beauty of Joni's vocals, but also plays guitar with Joni's stylistic mannerisms. Expect an evening of the 'great' songs from Mitchell's back catalogue, such as 'Amelia', 'Woodstock', 'A Case Of You', 'Song For Sharon', 'Edith And The Kingpin'.

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG 
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

Theatre Royal, Dumfries

Wed 30th April 2025 7.30pm

The public and critically acclaimed five star production WHEN WE WERE YOUNG goes beyond the tabloid stereotype of 'Neds' to tell a powerful and hilarious story about the realities of gang culture and young team mentality in Glasgow during the 90s, as we follow the lives of one of the many youngteams who polluted the streets of the city during a time it was known as The Murder Capital of Europe.

This production is both a hilarious and eye opening look back to 1990s Glasgow and the notorious postcode wars as well as telling a heartbreaking story of stolen youth.

This show contains strong language, adult humour and blood. Recommended for audiences 16+
