The Return of the Legends
All household names, all Strictly favourites, all kings of the ballroom, and all re-uniting again in the “Return of The Legends”! The boys return, following the incredible success of last year’s sold-out Legends of The Dancefloor tour, described by Strictly Head Judge, Shirley Ballasas ‘by far one of the funniest shows that I’ve ever seen in my life. A great evening out’! Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Pasha Kovalev, Vincent Simone and Ian Waite, together with a supporting cast are back to create another evening of spectacular dancing, hilarious camaraderie, great music and a huge amount of laughter! They have all headlined their own solo tours but together they create what one journalist described as “a show that was nothing short of spectacular.” All five thoroughly enjoyed their reunion last year and feel that they still have stories to tell, secrets to reveal and more dances to perform. Performing latin, ballroom, tango, rumba and so much more...our Legends are back with new routines and more hilarious strictly and life stories.Read more
The Leylines
British folk-punk for a summer's afternoon, a sound forged in festivals and bonfires, with fiddle-driven rabble rousers and songs that stir the soul. The Leylines was started by a group of West Country musicians driving home from a session at the legendary Sawmills Studios. Levelling The Land by The Levellers was on the car stereo. Something about the sound of the record, the rolling Cornwall landscapes and the smell of summer connected in writer and vocalist Steve's head.Steve, a product of council estates and stints in the Army, put his observations on the state of the nation into music and started writing. Adding the different musical backgrounds of band mates Matt (Guitar), Pete (Bass), Dave (Drums) and Hannah (Violin), The Leylines have created a style that combines the acerbic social commentary of the Mod and Punk eras, and a folk-rock vibe that will send you right back to those long, hazy festival days.The band saying is: If you wouldn't go out and have drink with someone, don't work with them. With a fiercely loyal and ever-growing fanbase, The Leylines guaranteed to have their audiences up on their feet and they will be having as much fun as their audience while they're doing it!Read more

About Shalford
Shalford is a village in Surrey, situated on the busy A281 Horsham road immediately south of Guildford. It has a railway station which is between Guildford and Dorking on the North Downs Line. The River Tillingbourne joins the River Wey at Shalford adjacent to the parish church. For centuries, the river provided an important source of income for the village. As the northern terminus of the Wey and Arun Canal, Shalford was a landing place for barges, and continues to be visited by boats today — but for pleasure rather than trade.
