Midday Variety October 2026

SIXTIES SPECIAL

For our big autumn Midday Variety show, Andy Eastwood presents a rock & rollercoaster ride back to the swinging sixties!

Topping the bill are The Upbeat Beatles with their incredibly authentic tribute to the most electrifying band of the decade, Liverpool's 'Fab Four'. They will transport us back to the sight, sound and exhilarating thrill of Beatlemania with their rollicking renditions of the legendary band's greatest hits, such as She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, A Hard Day's Night and Help!

Opening the show will be the superb Annika Rands, a vocalist with warmth and class, who specialises in the music of the sixties stars. Today she will remember Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black and more favourites.

Hilarious Phil Hoyles provides the laughs with his brilliant portrayal of one of Britain's best loved entertainers, Tommy Cooper. Phil understudied Jerome Flynn in the West End production Jus' Like That and he recreates the classic Cooper routines with extraordinary accuracy. His performance is a festival of fun!

Completing the line-up is Scott Dee as the iconic crooner Engelbert Humperdinck, whose huge hits like Please Release Me and The Last Waltz highlight the rich diversity of musical styles that made up the sixties charts.
