I would just like to take this opportunity to wish all of our customers, old and new, a very Happy 2012! This looks to be a very exciting year for Trinity Arts Centre. We have been given the go ahead to continue with a programme of events that have proved popular with our audience in the past. These include theatre, films, music and comedy shows. Alongside this we are encouraging local groups to come and use the building for their own performances or as a meeting space. The council are making a significant investment in the building which will see the roof repaired and a new more energy efficient boiler installed. These works are scheduled to take place between January and March this year with no disruption to our programme. Thank you all for your loyalty and continued custom and support and I hope you enjoy our programme of events.

Saturday 28th January at 7.30pm Vin Garbutt The Teesside Troubadour Powerful, hugely moving, warm, humane, inspired, funny and gut wrenchingly honest. These are just some of the superlatives used to describe Vin's performance. This international, award winning, singer songwriter is completing his 42nd year on the road. This year sees the release of the biopic film "Teesside Troubadour" documenting Vin's life and career. He is forever in demand and his shows are continually sell outs, so get your tickets early! His songwriting covers topics ranging from exploitation of foreign workers to unemployment, oppression, abortion, abuse of agrochemicals, sexual exploitation, deforestation, cosmetic surgery, the genocide of Timorese people, road building, the North/South divide, foetal experimentation, industrial polution and emigration, etc. etc. Needless to say there are many traditional as well as fun songs included.
