Clinton Baptiste: Roller Ghoster! 

Solo again, Britain’s most celebrated clairvoyant medium psychic from Peter Kay’s ‘Phoenix Nights’ returns with his brand new hilarious one-man stand up show.

As well as venturing into the audience to offer his unique spirit readings, Clinton Baptiste comes armed with more tales from his extraordinary childhood; exposing himself in ways you could never imagine -the family that shaped him, the narrow minded who doubted him and the lovers that left him. He regales us with stories of his recent work on a cruise ship, his spirit readings round the UK and not to mention the day to day life with his Greenlandic spirit guide, Taruak.

Brace yourselves – Clinton will prove his mystical ability once and for all. This time, he guarantees you WILL believe!*

*No actual money back if you don’t. It’s not really a legal ‘guarantee’ as such. Look, it’s just an expression, okay?

Laugh, gasp, scream your head off…but whatever you do….strap in and hold tight as Clinton takes you on a rip-roaring ride through the twists and turns of his heady life.

The premier hands- on clairvoyant, medium and a psychic, Clinton is renowned as Britain’s foremost ‘can-do’ guru.

The self styled 'Can-guru'*

generation.

For one night only

Legendary bands Foreigner and Journey are giants of the AOR
(Adult Orientated Rock) and Classic Rock genres, attracting huge audiences as
live acts since forming in the 1970’s. The two bands have achieved massive
commercial and critical success and both sold in excess of 80 million albums,
with their supreme musical quality ensuring that they’ve never been victims of
trends or passing fashions, and even their earliest hits are still being played
on radio shows worldwide every day.

Sadly for those in the UK, their shows over here have been
few and far between, and most fans of their music have not experienced the
thrill of hearing it played live.

Thankfully, however, the next best thing is here in the
shape of the award-winning band A FOREIGNERS JOURNEY.

A Foreigners Journey proudly won both the “UK’s Number 1
Tribute to Foreigner
” and the “UK’s Number 1 Tribute to Journey
awards at the National Tribute Music Awards.

Their talent has also been acknowledged by Jeff
Pilson, bass player of Foreigner,
who said “Check out this
amazing band, they rock!”

They have toured throughout the UK and Europe for the last
12 years, headlined a number of festivals and played to packed theaters and
venues, safely establishing themselves as one of the most respected and known
tribute shows around.

Featuring the incredible vocals and stage presence of Adam J
Oades, and cherry picking the very best and most iconic songs from each of the
two bands, to create a carefully balanced set- list, including bonafide rock
classics such as the massive anthem Don’t Stop Believin’, Cold As Ice,
Separate Ways, Juke Box Hero, Feels Like The First Time,
to gentler
power ballads like the hits I Want To Know What Love Is, Faithfully,
Waiting For A Girl Like You, Open Arms
and many more, A Foreigners
Journey take things far beyond a mere ‘tribute act’ and turn their show into a
living, breathing and powerful experience.

Ian Danter of Planet Rock summed
up their show in his review “Great mix of classic songs delivered
impeccably”

It is guaranteed to be an evening to remember and a real
treat for all those who love quality, commercial rock, performed with passion.
