At the end of the month, Rick Wakeman will be gracing our shores to bring his ‘Grumpy Old Picture Show’ to the Ventnor Winter Gardens.
Having not heard of the show before, we did a little research and came across an article in the Worthing Herald from earlier in the month.
Speaking to the Herald, Rick points out that the idea came about when he was talking to his friend Stuart Prebble, who is behind Grumpy Old Men, about a new project linking his music and the show.
“There was the idea of a big screen where I could show pictures, film clips of other musicians I can play along with, clips of teachers and people I used to know from years ago with silly stories in between and with me on keyboard – I thought it could be a cracker.”
Tickets are pricey at £24.50 but we hear that it’s a great show and well worth the pennies (or rather pounds).
Call the Box Office: 01983 857 581 to book your tickets.
The Ventnor Winter Gardens are now on MySpace – if you’re a member, add them as a friend and show your support.
