There are some big names coming to The Grand in Clitheroe in April:
On Tuesday 12th April, former Stranglers Frontman Hugh Cornwell hits town to perform his critically acclaimed solo album 'Guilty' in its entirety and for the first time ever all the Stranglers Epics in one evening. The Raven, Schoolmaam, Down in the Sewer, Toiler on the Sea, Walk On By and Feel Like a xxx will all be performed each evening.
20 VIP Tickets are also available which will give fans the chance to watch the soundcheck, interact with Hugh and receive an exclusively recorded album entitled 'Covered' signed personally on the night by the artist.

Then, on Friday 22nd April, it’s the turn of The Blockheads to play at the venue.
There's no doubting that the most loveable, eccentric, cocky, funny, schoolboy-rude and artful characters from the punk generation are The Blockheads. Together with Ian Dury they created songs that were clever, insightful, subversive and more often than not, just plain fun.
Clever Trevor (sic), Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3, What A Waste and the anthem for their generation, Sex and Drugs and Rock n Roll, all carried the same trademark mix of humour, indignation, wonderfully witty wordplay and extreme musicianship.
They created their own genre from a previously untried potpourri of funk, punk and English music hall. Dury may no longer be with us but The Blockheads - who celebrated their 30th Anniversary in 2007 - remain one of the hardest working groups to have emerged from the decade that gave us some of the most exciting and original music since the birth of rock and roll.
