Four of the country’s greatest comedy entertainers head to Hull with their own special take on the Rat Pack – Bradley Walsh (The Chase, Gladiators), Brian Conley (The Brian Conley Show, EastEnders), Shane Richie (EastEnders, I’m a Celebrity) and Joe Pasquale (I’m a Celebrity, Dancing On Ice) are THE PRAT PACK.
Inspired by the performances of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford, the UK stars are hitting the road (with Pasquale at the wheel of the tour bus).
Packed with laughs and songs, backed by a 15-piece band, the show will let the audience in on the banter between some of television’s best-loved stars – who are also very close friends.
Bradley Walsh says: “People are starved of our type of entertainment – songs, stories, jokes – and banter! It’s an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day, and it’s a fantastic night. We are just thrilled. We all share the same dressing room – we’re mates. We’ve known each other for so long now – and the show is about warmth and family – because we are. It’s great, really great.”
The world-famous Brighouse & Rastrick Band makes a welcome return to Hull. As perhaps the foremost brass band in the world, Brighouse brings their special brand of entertainment to the concert stage in a spectacular show that is not to be missed.

A special afternoon concert of heart-warming vocal music featuring Northern Rose Voices will be held on Saturday, 14th December at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Hull. Exploring the notion of human caring in song, this thought provoking concert will include the premiere of ‘Let Your Voice Be Heard’ by emerging Scottish composer, Carla Sayer.
This work has been created as part of the Adopt A Music Creator project run by Making Music. It has been a very close collaboration between the choir and the composer, with the singers providing lyrics inspired by their experiences in caring roles. The song has then been crafted by Carla to reflect on what remains of us throughout the generations: how our actions across life reflect those of previous generations and are then, in turn, reflected in future generations. The way that our voice is ‘heard’.
The theme of caring and nurturing throughout the generations is particularly relevant as the work is dedicated to Carla’s baby daughter, who was born during the creation of this piece. She said, “ Overall, everything took longer and needed more support than I’ve ever needed before, but I’d like to think the result has been thought through very carefully and deeply, and I hope reflects what Northern Rose Voices were hoping for and lets their words, ideas, and voices shine through.”
Northern Rose Voices, a local female vocal group, look forward to presenting this premiere and a range of other pieces including Wiegenlied, Orra Bhonna Bhonnagan, Climb Every Mountain and Fix You, along with songs from their Christmas collection.
Everyone is very welcome to come along at 4.00pm to this free concert, with donated proceeds going towards St. Charles’ Church Fund.
Following our successful Praetorius tour in 2022, Gabrieli Roar presents A Grand Georgian Christmas. Led by Gabrieli Artistic Director Paul McCreesh, over 4,000 late-primary and secondary students will join Gabrieli’s world-class musicians across eleven performances in regional cathedrals around the UK, from Cumbria to Cornwall.
The programme is a festive exploration of English music for parish churches during the Georgian period (c. 1740-1850), a tradition sometimes referred to as ‘Psalmody’ or ‘Gallery Music’. It offers the perfect platform to encourage young singers to connect with choral and classical music, as well as with heritage culture.
A Grand Georgian Christmas will feature songs, carols, and anthems by composers ranging from Handel and Haydn to lesser-known figures. The programme includes pieces such as Remember, O thou man; Veni, veni emmanuel; The people that walked in darkness; Lo! He comes with clouds descending; As shepherds watched their fleecy care; Adeste fideles; Hush my dear, lie still and slumber; and Hark! The herald angels sing (in a version probably unknown to many!).
Gabrieli singers will lead the choirs, and the band will comprise strings, flutes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets, drums, organ, harpsichord, ophicleide, and (how could we not?) two very special serpents.
