SPRING is coming early this year for fans of live performance, as Spot On Lancashire have announced their spring 2017 season, with 42 shows popping up in 33 different venues across the county, including Barnoldswick and Tosside.
The opening show is a tasty fusion of play and cookery demonstration in the form of The Chef Show by Ragged Edge Productions.
It features a local chef cooking live on stage and will stage six performances across the county, including a February 10 performance at the Rainhall Centre in Barnoldswick.
Although not local, there will be performances of The Odyssey (Greek Stuff!) and the hugely popular Chip Shop Chips, where audiences can enjoy a fish and supper during the performance.
There is a strong music offering too, featuring artists from across the UK and abroad.
Scottish folk trio, North Sea Gas, bring their three-part harmonies to Tosside and three other villages in late February.
There will be live music and dance fusion from Canadian company Les Bordéliques. They bring Blind Date to Barnoldswick at the beginning of March.
Four other bands and musicians will have performances taking place from March to May.
Burnley is one three towns earmarked for the food and performance production of Dough! by Creative Scene.
On April 12, The Fabularium will stage three performances of Reynard The Fox at the Rainhall Centre in Barnoldswick.
All three shows will be performed upon a traditional wooden cart.
The final show of the season, The Last Supper by Reckless Sleepers, another performance centred around food, heads to Halton Mill for one-night only.
All shows have been brought to the county by Spot On Lancashire, supported with funding from Arts Council England and Lancashire County Council.
Spot On’s Sue Robinson said: "This season’s programme clearly appeals to food lovers and there is a particularly generous offer of live music this season too."
