THE MAKINGS OF A MURDERER: FATAL MISTAKE
with Donal MacIntyre

They planned the murder.
They covered their tracks.
They thought they had got away with it.
They almost did.

In The Makings of a Murderer: Fatal Mistake, award-winning investigative journalist and broadcaster Donal MacIntyre examines the extraordinary true stories of killers who came terrifyingly close to escaping justice.

These are the murderers who lied convincingly, destroyed evidence, created false alibis and, in some cases, remained free for years.

But somewhere, something went wrong.
A tiny forensic trace. A forgotten witness. A change in behaviour. A piece of CCTV. A phone call. A contradiction. One mistake that finally began to unravel everything.

Drawing on some of the most compelling murder investigations of modern times, Donal takes audiences inside the hunt for killers who believed they had committed the perfect crime.

How did they avoid suspicion for so long?
What finally gave them away?
And just how close did they really come to getting away with murder?

Gripping, revealing and packed with extraordinary real-life cases, The Makings of a Murderer: Fatal Mistake explores the killers who nearly beat the system – and the investigators, evidence and chance discoveries that finally brought them to justice.

Together, James Taylor and Carole King represent two pillars of American folk‐rock and singer‐songwriter tradition. Their music shares a common thread of lyrical honesty, melodic richness, and emotional depth. This evening’s program weaves their catalogs into a seamless tapestry, inviting you to relive the golden era of songwriting. Join us for a two‐hour show that brings together the two legends of American songwriting.

JamesTaylor’s gentle, introspective style and
CaroleKing’s piano‐driven, soulful energy have shaped popular music for more than five decades, and their songs continue to resonate across generations. The program blends Taylor’s timeless classics— “SweetBaby James,” “Fire andRain,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” and “Something in the Way She Moves”—with King’s unforgettable hits—“It’s Too Late,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “I Feel the Earth Move,” and “So Far Away.” Each number is performed faithfully, preserving the lyrical honesty, melodic richness, and emotional depth that define both artists. This concert will transport you back to simpler times, wrapping you in dulcet tones, lush harmonies, and deeply personal storytelling. Whether you first fell in love with “Fire and Rain,” or found comfort in “You’ve Got a Friend,” this evening will stir the soul and reaffirm why great music never fades. Don’t miss this beautiful tribute to the finest songs of the last half‐century.

Bette and Joan
by Anton Burge

When ageing screen goddesses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford come together on the film set of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? their legendary rivalry, struggles and insecurities spill over from the sound stage to the dressing rooms.

With humour and pathos Bette & Joan is an insightful exploration of how old Hollywood used youth, beauty and talent to its own ends.

Reviews for Previous Shows:

“Great night out – funny, moving and thought-provoking”

“Excellent production with fantastic performances.”

Every time I open my mouth I seem to offend
somebody!

That’s the price we pay for living in a world full of
morons! Socrates said if you don’t want to be criticised, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. That’s exactly what these fools are: nothing!

And they know it! That’s the reason why, instead of
getting a life, they sit on their backsides and tear the rest of us down. If easily offended please come to a show full of righteous indignation and some home truths.

‘Exceptionally funny and cathartic’ (Scotsman).

A wicked, gin-soaked dark comedy set on a stormy Edinburgh Hogmanay. Belinda Crabbs’ husband disappears, leaving behind police tape and three decades of marital fatigue. Enter Barbara, the cleaner with forensic instincts and impeccable timing. What follows is a razor-sharp dismantling of marriage, class and sex. Delivered with biting one-liners and delicious cruelty. Female rage detonates. Widowhood, it turns out, can be an upgrade and menopause absolute murder.

From the multi-award-winning comedy writer of Sex, Chips & Ouzo, Glasgow Hard Tickets and more.

True Gold began life way back in 2005, when founding member Lee James put an advert out for musicians, which would form into a Spandau Ballet tribute band known as Highly Strung. The band split in 2010, only to reform after many requests to do so, under the new name of True Gold ‘A Tribute To Spandau Ballet’

The band is now sounding, and looking better than ever! Having performed in 100’s of venues over the years, they have courted much praise from renowned artists.

True Gold are the ‘official’ Spandau Ballet tribute band having received praise from none other than Spandau’s very own Gary Kemp, Steve Norman & Tony Hadley!

True Gold have performed twice with Tony, the second time coming in 2014 when Lee & Tony sang together on BBC’s The One Show.

Yet again in June 2022 Tony & Lee once again joined forces for The One Show’s ‘Big Thank You’ for Devon landlady Wendy Bishop after her amazing efforts of raising over £100,000 for charity
