You know the scenario, you wake up extra early, get every device open imaginable waiting for that on sale time to get tickets to Take That's latest tour in the stadium or arena depending on how many there are on. You get ready for that one moment in the hope to get tickets and then at the last second, you lose Wi-Fi and 30 seconds later it's sold out?
With an appearance on the X Factor in 2013 where she was selected as one of the seven finalists but unfortunately not making it to judges houses, Katie Markham has gone on to have her own tribute show after auditioning with others for what she believed to be a pilot for a new TV show 'Adele at the BBC'. Hosted by Graham Norton, Katie was quick to spot that 'Jenny,' one of the other impersonators, was actually Adele in disguise. She was actually handpicked by Adele to perform as her.
Tonight, saw the inaugural concert by the RNCM Film Orchestra and they certainly set the bar high for themselves in terms of any future concerts they put on.
This was a fundraising event, the proceeds of which will be split equally between Save The Children and the RNCM Roof Garden Fund. Hosted by Tom Redmond, we were treated to a wide range of music from film classics, stretching from the 1930s up to Skyfall.
I first saw Fairport Convention when the band was a mere twenty-odd years old. That seemed remarkable at the time, and yet, here we are in 2017, and Fairport are, almost incredibly, half a century into their journey as England’s premier folk-rock ensemble. The incessant personnel changes of the early days have given way to a slow evolution, and the current members have been playing as a unit for nearly twenty years, easily the most enduring version of the band.
RNCM Learning and Participation's Children's Opera Project is now in its ninth year, and provides a much needed and wonderful insight into the world of Music Theatre, enabling youngsters of Primary School age to collaborate in and perform their own devised new work.

The audience at the Lowry theatre were certainly Dancing in the Streets after this evening’s performance of the Magic of Motown. The clue is in the name, a show featuring 36 of the biggest hits from Motown made famous by the likes of The Supremes, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie.
It is easy to see why the Royal Northern College Of Music (RNCM) has the accolade of being one of the finest music conservatoires in the world. Their music tuition is second to none, as students from every nation on earth come to study here; but it is not just the 'stuffy' classical composers which are studied. The RNCM has, along with its mother organisation, the RCM in London, a long and proud history of tutoring students to become world class exponents in their chosen field, which to the uninitiated most probably would mean classical.
This six piece tribute band to the American rock band The Eagles, took to the stage on the first of a 100 date tour to an almost capacity audience. The stage is set simply with a raised platform for the drums and keys and fronted by five guitarists and accompanied again with simple, but effective lighting. Launching into their first number 'How Long' followed by 'Busy Being Fabulous' and then featuring songs from the iconic Eagles album 'Hotel California' which was released in 1976.
Entertainment In A Class Of Its Own
The Mersey Sound is one of the biggest selling poetry books of all time and over the years the names McGough, Henri and Patten have become synonymous with the city of Liverpool. The anthology captured the mood of the Sixties; energetic, raw and a true record of its era. Tonight’s show features Roger and Brian delivering a fine selection of vintage, classic and surprising poems, many of which have been set to the musical accompaniment of LiTTLe MACHiNe, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of this iconic & top-selling book.

In 2010, Matt Cardle pipped Rebecca Ferguson to claim victory in the seventh series of the talent show.
