Queens Theatre North Devon - Events for 2010
One Night of Queen
This show will rock you!
"The spirit of the legendary Freddie Mercury is alive and well and performing as Gary Mullen"
Gary won ITV’s 'Stars In Their Eyes' Grand Final in 2000 as Freddie Mercury, and his life changed forever. He began a fantastic journey which has taken him, together with his band the works, to virtually every theatre and concert hall in the UK, Germany, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, France & New Zealand.
In 2008 ONOQ embarked on their mission to conquer the USA and sold nearly 100,000 tickets over 2 tours (2008 & 2009) where they sold out in more than 75 cities. Demand is such that they are already scheduled to return in 2010 to conquer even more states and even more cities over a 10 week, 50 date tour period. One Night Of Queen have played to sell out crowds worldwide including 45,000 fans at the iconic Hyde Park, London for the prestigious BBC ‘Proms In the Park’ 05.
They were on the same bill with some of the biggest names in the industry, Andrea Bocelli and Simply Red. Impressively they were invited back to perform at the same event in September 2009 where they shared the stage with Katherine Jenkins and Barry Manilow and rocked the 45,000 strong audience once more!
One Night of Queen brings you all of Queens’s greatest classics including We Are The Champions, Somebody To Love, and Bohemian Rhapsody together with fantastic staging, sound and lights.

The Gallery Sessions - John Escreet Project
‘A superb band’ New York Times
Since moving to New York in 2006 to study at the Manhattan School of Music (with Kenny Barron and Jason Moran), the brilliant young British pianist/composer leads a band of some of that city’s finest, with trumpeter-of-the-moment Ambrose Akinmusire, saxophonist David Binney and drummer Nasheet Waits. Escreet is emerging as one of the most creative and original pianists on the scene and his debut CD Consequences mixing conventional lyricism with freer improv was voted Best Debut 2008 by All About Jazz in New York.

Tickets £9.50. www.northdevontheatres.org.uk
The Gallery Sessions - Amy Newton & Jenna Witts
Girls from the shoreline
These two local and very talented singer songwriters first came together almost by chance at The Gallery in November 2008. The evening was a triumph! Since then they have come to be known as Girls from the Shoreline. Although very different their voices and styles blend beautifully. Jenna's piano combined with Amy's great guitar work makes for exciting listening. The songs are sometimes sad and often quirky!
