Could this be the world’s greatest ever Elvis tribute artist? That’s what more and more people are saying. See the show and find out why EVERYBODY is talking about the SENSATIONAL Chris Connor.
As if from nowhere, Chris exploded onto the Elvis scene only last year and has already built up an endless list of awards and achievements including being voted The World’s Number One Lookalike by E.P.I.M and touring the UK with Elvis’s original backing singers, The Sweet Inspirations.
The show also features legendary Elvis tribute artist STEVE PRESTON. In a professional career spanning 20 years Steve has notched up an impressive list of achievements of his own. He has toured internationally in the highly acclaimed Legends show and in 1995 he became the only tribute artist ever chosen to appear on the Royal Variety Performance for Her Majesty the Queen. Steve also performed with members of Elvis’s original band at the 2008 World’s Greatest Elvis Concert at the Bolton Arena

'A terrifically imaginative and original show, something really special.' The Guardian
'Aerial artistry with ingenuity and theatrical flair.' The Times
'There’s no shortage of risk and split second timing as they roll, spin and flail on the wheel, but it’s the narrative line that carries you through.' The Observer
Ockham’s Razor, the award winning aerial theatre company who specialise in creating physical theatre on original pieces of equipment, return with their new show The Mill.
Experience the sweat, grind and grit of physical work as a wheel of wood and steel is suspended in the air and powered by the five performers. Hundreds of metres of rope wind around the stage and link the wheel into a complex system. In The Mill a seemingly small decision can gather momentum beyond your control. The fight to maintain your position can find you running like mad to power the treadmill while someone else is riding it like a ferris wheel.

Rossini – Overture The Barber of Seville
Albinoni/Giazotto – Adagio in G minor for Organ and Strings
Respighi – Pines of Rome
Puccini – Messa di Gloria
Conductors: Ian Holmes and Roger Huckle
Tenor: Christopher Hann
Baritone-Bass: George Watson
An evening of music by four Italian ‘Masters’ presented by the ever effervescent University of the West of England Symphony Orchestra, Singers and Soloists, conducted by Ian Holmes and Roger Huckle.
Rossini’s The Barber of Seville was one of the first Italian operas performed in the USA and the popular overture with its jaunty melody has become a staple of the orchestral repertoire. Whether Albinoni or Giazotto is the real composer of the Adagio in G minor for Organ and Strings will probably always remain a mystery, but this beautiful piece of music remains consistently popular and is frequently played on film and television. Respighi’s glorious tone poem, Pines of Rome, is a magnificent montage in four sections: The Pines at the Villa Borghese depicting children at play, the meditative The Pines near the Catacombs, nocturnal Pines of the Janiculum and concluding with the exciting The Pines of the Appian Way, evoking ancient Rome. The finale to the evening’s concert, Puccini’s Messa di Gloria, is a resplendent work for soloists, full chorus and orchestra and was written as part of his graduation thesis and first performed in Lucca in 1880. Full of wonderfully operatic melodies, the University Symphony Orchestra and Singers are pleased to welcome back two UWE alumni as soloists.
