Keep an eye out for a silver-spotted top hat as national treasure, MBE, and Godfather of Glam, Noddy Holder is in Wimborne this month to reminisce over a lifetime of monumental achievements, possibly through star-shaped, rose-tinted glasses.

Prepare to be transported back to the pop-tastic Seventies, Eighties and Nineties in this show where Sir Nodward, of West Midlandshire picks his favourite songs and tells stories from his early days on the beat scene, his stint as Robert Plant’s roadie, the all-conquering Top of the Pops appearances, endless world tours, thespian triumphs and changing the face of fashion!

This is a gig with a difference as, rather than performing, Holder’s the guest of Tom Seals, the lauded musician behind Sky’s Tom Seals Presents… a music chat show he hosts on TV and in sell-out live shows worldwide.

Hailed by Jools Holland as ‘an extraordinary young talent’ and compared to Little Richard, by Tom Jones, Seals is already a big hitter, regularly selling out at London’s Ronnie Scott’s, New York’s Birdland Jazz Club and the Dubai Opera House.

Holder is chuffed to buttons that he can sit back and chew the fat, between live performances of favourite tunes, courtesy of jazz/blues pianist/vocalist Seals and his excellent band.

This show sees Sales and Holder reunited on stage after ‘triumphant’ appearances together in Edinburgh and London.

Seals is a demon on the piano and has worked with artists like Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum, Gregory Porter, Dame Cleo Laine and Hugh Laurie.

Tickets: Online £28.60, box office £26.
Wednesday, June 7, 7.30pm.
