Harris & Baker’s Backstage Pass
Bob Harris & Danny Baker, two of the nation’s best broadcasters, have unparalleled experience of witnessing the great names of modern music up close. They have been back stage, front stage, at home and on the road with virtually every legend in the business. Fortunately they both have great memories (in both senses of that phrase). Make no mistake – rock and soul music really did have a golden age and here’s two storytellers who were there all along the way. It’s a really funny story (in both senses of that phrase too). Bob & Dan. They got beans. And they’re gonna spill ’em. Doors Open at 6.30pm, Auditorium 7.00pm and show starts at 7.30pm. Tickets available by calling the Box Office on 01727 844488 or visit www.alban-arena.co.uk Venue: Alban Arena, Civic Centre, St Albans, Hertfordshire AL1 3LD.
