ROCK WITH LAUGHTER

– ELTON HALL

Music and comedy – an exciting twist for the Summer concerts at Englands ' stately homes and a very welcome addition to the list of outdoor entertainments.

On Friday 15 August “Rock With Laughter” arrives at Elton Hall near Peterborough where you will be treated to a variety-style evening with compere and a heady mix of bands and comedians all engaged to ensure you enjoy a good chortle, tap your feet and go home smiling !

The MC is one of Britain 's most familiar comic faces, the ubiquitous Lenny Henry , star of so many TV shows for more than 25 years and acknowledged as the driving force behind ‘Red Nose Day'. Helping him to keep the smiles on your faces will be Jasper Carrott , who was launched on the public 30 years ago and is still making the rib cages of Britain ache. And for those in the audience who like something alternative there's the anarchic Jo Brand .

The musical delights will come from The Manfreds featuring the original pin-up singers Paul Jones and Mike d'Abo ( 5-4-3-2-1, Mighty Quinn , Pretty Flamingo ), the sultry Elkie Brooks , whose career spans almost 5 decades, produced 19 albums and earned numerous awards and accolades, with her band, plus The Blockheads ( Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Sex & Drugs & Rock ‘n' Roll, Reasons To Be Cheerful ) with comic-singer and Buzzcocks team leader Phill Jupitus . To end the night the most famous of all tribute bands The Bootleg Beatles , complete with their orchestra, re-creating the sounds of the Fab Four. No-one does it better.

So join Jasper, Lenny, Jo, Elkie, John, Paul, George and Ringo at Elton Hall….
