CIRCUS VEGAS ROLLS INTO TOWN AT SOUTHPORT PLEASURELAND

 

A convoy of colourful American ‘big trucks’ roared into Southport late last week to begin setting up Circus Vegas’ 1,400 capacity big top at Pleasureland. While planes practicing for the town’s Air Show soared overhead, the circus crew was preparing the performance area on the park’s beach frontage for next weekend’s shows.  The 50 year old touring circus, which features 15 acts from all over the globe, across an action-packed 2 hour show, is home to clowns, acrobats, strongmen, magic and more; including its own 3 rider globe of death motorbike act The Michael Riders.

State of the art lighting effects and technical wizardry, together with the strength, agility, grace and fearlessness of the performers, combine to thrill audiences old and young, delivering an unforgettable experience. And, with Pleasureland’s rides just a step away from the big top; with free entry and rides from £1; this weekend is shaping up as a fantastic opportunity for families to enjoy.  Included in this year’s programme is:- magician extraordinaire Kim Kenneth, The Bacuzza Brothers ‘Men of Steel’ with their Strongmen Act; the speed and skill of the motorcycle riders in the The Globe of Death; direct from Brazil Prince of Balance Aaron Europa; Las Vegas Dancers; a Sword & Dagger act from Italy; Duo Garcia and their flying machine; hilarious clowns and much much more.

High Flying Birds @ Liverpool Arena

THE former oasis front man Noel Gallagher was performing with his new band High Flying Birds was at the Liverpool Arena, on 6 September 2012. Noel and his band put this gig on after phenomenal demand arose on the back of his High Flying Birds album debuted becoming 1 of only 4 albums in 2012 to sell in excess of 100,000 in its first week. This aimed the album the converted platinum status, so it was fair to say from day 1 that this gig was set to be good, stomping gig. Despite Noel having a few technical problems with his Guitar in the first song, '(It's Good) To Be Free' the rest of the gig ran smoothly. Over the performance he covered 20 songs, all of them crowd pleasers. They included:- 'If I Had a Gun...', 'Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks' and 'D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?'. The gig ended with him playing:- 'Don't Look Back in Anger' to the sold out Arena. This was a very carefully, orchestrated show to capitalise on his resent success. This show continually delivered and was truly rousing entertainment for his fans. It is also a good example of Noel's ability to ride out the storm and showed why he is truly ironic and so loved by his fans.
