Michael Bolton		Saturday 13th November Michael Bolton Opera House Saturday 13th November 2010, 7.30pm If you made a list of performers who have sold more than 53 million records, won multiple Grammys for Best Male Vocalist and countless other honors, earned a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and sold out arenas worldwide, Michael Bolton would be on that list. But if you tallied all the artists who’ve sung with Luciano Pavarotti and Ray Charles, written songs with Bob Dylan, Ne-Yo and Lady Gaga, penned hits for Barbra Streisand and KISS, played guitar with B.B. King and had his music recorded on a track by hip-hop superstar Kanye West (featuring megastar Jay-Z) ..... then Michael Bolton would be the only name on that list. Tickets: £39.50
Rhod Gilbert		Thursday 18th November RHOD GILBERT & THE CAT THAT LOOKED LIKE NICHOLAS LYNDHURST Opera House Thursday 18th November - 7.30pm TICKETS - £20 Following sell-out performances earlier in the year, the Welsh wonder Rhod Gilbert is back by popular demand.

Stung by accusations that he over-reacts, this year Rhod sets out on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey to discover the truth. Is he, as he believes, a visionary in a sea of closed minds, or has he, as everyone else believes, got anger-management problems?
