London legends The Urban Voodoo Machine live at Yardbirds Rock Grimsby on Wednesday 6 May 2026

Led by the ever-flamboyant Norwegian-born singer, songwriter and guitar-slinger Paul-Ronney Angel, the Urban Voodoo Machine return to the road this spring, touring the UK in support of their new album Other People’s Children.

Since 2003, this superbly talented collective of musicians and showmen and women has been bringing their raucous, theatrical circus to the people, racking up thousands of shows and releasing several critically acclaimed albums along the way.

Uniquely, The Urban Voodoo Machine are the only band in the world to have played both Download Festival and the Montreux Jazz Festival, and they’ve toured with true legends including The Pogues and New York Dolls.

Described as “a great mix of Preservation Hall jazz, Eastern European folk and rock’n’roll” (R’N’R), the band’s own brand of Bourbon-Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop ’N’ Stroll has captivated audiences across the UK, US and Europe. Their fiercely loyal and ever-growing Black ’N’ Red-clad family is a testament to the power of the live show.

If you’ve seen The Urban Voodoo Machine live, chances are you haven’t forgotten it – part circus, part theatre, and a great Rock’n’Roll Show!

“Quite possibly the best show you’ll ever see!” – CLASSIC ROCK

With the support from Carley’s Wreck & Ruin

This well-known and popular play is a suburban situation comedy of manners, and satire on the aspirations and tastes of the ‘new’ middle class that emerged in Britain in the 1970’s. 

Performed at The Caxton Theatre, Grimsby

Written by Mike Leigh

Directed by Debbie Shepherd

Opens Saturday 25 April through to Saturday 2 May 2026

Set in the London-side of Essex (theoretical Romford), Beverley Moss invites her new neighbours, Angela and Tony, over for drinks.  They moved into the road just two weeks ago.  She has also invited her neighbour Sue, a divorcee, whose fifteen-year-old daughter Abigail is also holding a party back at their home. Beverley’s husband Laurence is typically late home from work and the ‘gathering’ starts off in stiff fashion as the virtual strangers tentatively get to know each other.  As the ‘hostess with the mostest’ Beverley endeavours to keep the drinks flowing. The alcohol takes effect on the evening.  Sniping, flirting, naivety and too much stress is a cocktail for disaster as the play concludes.
