Wizard Birstall band’s album launch of Oz A LOCAL band’s debut album will be launched at the Musician pub in Leicester on November 19.
HATS’ NEXT show is The Wizard of Oz, a musical play rather than the normal pantomime, but full of the same comedy, music and dance. Everyone knows the story because it’s based closely on the 1939 MGM movie, starring Judy Garland.
Skam, a hard rock band who have played more than 300 gigs across the country, were formed five years ago and consists of Steve Hill(guitar), Matt Gilmore (bass) and Ray Peverill (drums). Founder of the band Steve Hill was born in Birstall and educated at Stonehill and Longslade, where he is now a teacher. He said: “The album is a showcase of 10 of our very best own songs. It’s the best thing we have ever done and will blow people away! “I would really love the people of Birstall to get behind us and really make something out of this release. We have played Birstall Gala for the last five years and have hosted the Battle of the Bands at Stonehill school. Pic (above): Skam are (l-r) Matt Gilmore, Ray Peverill and Steve Hill
So come and see the twister, Munchkinland, the Emerald City, the Yellow Brick Road and enjoy a couple of hours of fun filled entertainment. Alternatively, you could come and join our happy band and be involved in the production itself, either on stage or behind the scenes. We are desperate for more male actors, but will welcome anyone, male or female, with open arms. Performances of The Wizard of Oz are at Highcliffe School, Greengate Lane, Birstall on Thursday, Friday & Saturday Nov 24, 25 & 26 at 7.15pm and a matinee performance on Sat Nov 26 at 2.30pm. Doors are open 30 mins before curtain up. Tickets are £6 (£5 concessions) and can be obtained in advance by phoning the box office on 2671181 or writing to 14 Fielding Road, Birstall, Leicester or by email at hatsbirstall1@hotmail.co.uk From HATS
