Beautiful start to Four Four
BUXTON Opera House has revealed its full line-up of artists for The Buxton Opera House Festival of Live Music, Four Four Time 2010, which will take place from Friday February 12 until Sunday February 21.
The popular event, which is now in its eighth year, features another superb mix of shows, taking place at the Opera House and the Pavilion Gardens Lounge.
Known more recently for its superb offerings from the best of the 80s, this year's Four Four Time kicks-off on February 12 with a band who formed in 1989 - The Beautiful South, who have now morphed into The New Beautiful South after a break of two years.
The band will be opening their song book which includes hit singles such as Old Red Eyes is Back, Rotterdam, Don't Marry Her and A Little Time.
Other exciting acts include a return visit on February 13 by Marc Almond, who is especially known for his hit song Tainted Love.
And the Buzzcocks will thrill audiences on February 15 with their punk rock anthems such as Ever Fallen in Love With Someone (You Shouldn't've Fallen in Love With?) and who will be supported by Sex Pistols original Glen Matlock.
An evening of jazz will be provided by saxophone virtuoso Courtney Pine - who was awarded a CBE for services to music in the 2009 New Year Honours - on February 16.
An original founding member of Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green will be giving a rare appearance with his band on February 18, which is not to be missed.
Legendary soul queen Mica Paris and internationally-acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Julian Joseph will perform the music of Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway and lots more on February 20.
And Opera House sell-out last year - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - returns on February 21 as part of their 25th anniversary tour.
