MS Trust: John Shuttleworth’s Knight at the Palladium

June 15th, 2015

jsakatp15aMore special guests announced for John Shuttleworth’s Knight at the Palladium

John Shuttleworth and friends including Chas and Dave, Badly Drawn Boy, John Otway, Toyah, Leee John (Imagination), Martyn Ware (Heaven 17), Jon McClure (Reverend and the Makers), Gordon Giltrap, Lorraine Bowen and Sooty and Sweep (yes, really!) will perform for one night only at the London Palladium in ‘A Knight at the Palladium’ in aid of the MS Trust and an MS Centre in Sheffield.

“Sheffield’s funniest man” (The Guardian), the versatile singer/organist John Shuttleworth, plays the London Palladium to celebrate 30 years in ‘showbiz’ and is joined by star guests from his recent Lounge Music BBC Radio 4 series, plus others (TBA).

But, true to form, his agent, Ken Worthington, has messed up the show title. Night has become Knight, which makes John wonder… could his charity fundraising efforts at the Palladium lead to his being considered for a knighthood? That all depends on who is in the Royal Box!

This night of wonderful music and hilarious comedy is suitable for all so come along and bring your friends.

Where: The London Palladium, Argyll Street, London W1F 7TF
When: Sunday 28 June 2015 at 7:30PM
Tickets: £30.00 plus booking fee

Tickets for ‘A Knight at the Palladium’ are available online from reallyusefultheatres.co.uk or gigantic.com or by phoning 0844 412 4655
