It is 1888.  A long-dormant and ungodly terror is soon to be awakened in Victorian London. Fear will spread like a contagion from the theatres of the West End, to the slums of Whitechapel.  And the cobblestones will be awash with what the Horror needs… BLOOD!

Talented theatre company Don’t Go Into The Cellar return to bring us their spooky tale of Victorian horror to get you in the Hallowe’en mood with this fun and frightful play!

Eligh Toadd

Famed four piece progressive rock band Eligh Toadd, who have appeared at venues across the Midlands, will be hopping onto the stage at Bookmark Bloxwich Theatre this Saturday 7 July – and they’ll now be joined by another popular local band, The Lock In – all for just a fiver!

Eligh Toadd will also be launching their latest CD!  This accomplished and talented band is well-known for its original prog rock music with a Black Country edge written mainly by vocalist and bass player Steve Evans and has recorded three CDs – Bored With Chess, Tales From A Misspelt Youth and Three Piece Suite which will be released at the Bloxwich gig.

Eligh Toadd has also recorded a live CD single Two From The Road.

Stuart Williams, Vice-chairman of Bloxwich Library Forum, said: “Eligh Toadd have played Worcester Arts Festival and The Robin 2 in Bilston among many Midlands venues and we are really excited to be able to welcome them to Bloxwich.

“They play some of the great classic covers of progressive rock, but also offer some excellent Black Country-inspired anthems which are all their own, making them an act not to be missed!

“And we’re delighted that The Lock In will also be returning to Bookmark Bloxwich as support to Eligh Toadd, they are a talented and versatile band with a wide range of music for all!”

Tickets cost just  £5 and doors open at 8pm with the show starting at 8.30pm.  There will be a bar.  Be there – or be square!

Advance tickets from Bloxwich Library, Elmore Row, Bloxwich.  Telephone 01922 655900 to book.
