THE MARSHAM BELLES

The Marsham Belles, a ladies hand bell ringing group, haverecently had their AGM to discuss their visits last year and planthis years programme. With this in mind they would be pleasedto hear from any groups, or residential homes etc who would liketo have us come and play for them. We do not make a chargeas such but appreciate a donation towards the insurance costsof the bells and travelling, in normally takes two or three carsdepending on the venue, as all ringers do not live in Marsham.

We do have rehearsals most Wednesday afternoons and anyoneis welcome to pop in for a cup of tea and to chat over possibledates. Please contact either Lesley Willcocks on [email protected] or 01263 734115 or myself Hazel Kingswood [email protected] or 01263 734091 for moreinformation.

HISTORY OF HANDBELLSThe rst tuned handbells were developed by brothers Robert andWilliam Cor in Aldbourne, Wiltshire, England, between 1696and 1724.[1] The Cor brothers originally made latten bells forhame boxes,[2] but for reasons unknown, they began tuning their

bells more nely to have an accurate fundamental tone, and ttedthem with hinged clappers that moved only in one plane.[1]

Originally, tuned sets of handbells, such as the ones made by the

Cor brothers, were used by change ringers to rehearse outsidetheir towers. Tower bell ringers’ enthusiasm for practicing thecomplicated algorithms of change ringing can easily exceed theneighbours’ patience, so in the days before modern sound controlhandbells oered them a way to continue ringing without theaural assault. The handbell sets used by change ringers had thesame number of bells as in the towers - generally six or 12 tunedto a diatonic scale

Solar Power Crushes CromerLitter

A revolutionary smart litter bin powered by solar energy is being trialled by North Norfolk District Council in Cromer.

The ‘smart’ solar powered litter bin crushes rubbish down to stop litter being blown around the town. The trial of the bin started on 10 February

and runs through to Easter.The ‘Clean Cube’ is a compactor litter bin near to No1 Fish and Chip

Shop in Cromer. It’s larger than a normal litter bin and when thelitter reaches a certain height it compacts the waste within by using a

hydraulic ram.Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett, North Norfolk District Council Cabinet Member

for the Environment said: “We are trialling this new bin to see howsuccessful it could be in reducing the volume of waste so that our

bins can be used for longer. I think it’s great that we’re putting smarttechnology to work to help protect the environment.”

The solar powered Clean Cube can hold up to eight times the amount oflitter of a normal litter bin; and the solar panel uses daylight to charge

the internal battery.The ‘smart’ solar bin also tells the team how full it is and when it waslast emptied. It is hoped that the trial, which took place over the half-

term break will be a good test of what it can do.

Bacton Fun Day Over 250 supporters came to the Fun Football day atBacton on Sat 27 the weather was glorious and the funds raised still being counted more details next edition.

I was accused of trivialising road closed signs probably true, but havingtravelled into Broadland a couple of weeks ago the practise of puttingup road closed signs and then not working on the roads or even havingobstacles on the road also happens there.I was in Brundall, if these signs become like the cry 'Wolf', when theyare actually a genuine warning especially at night there could be horricconsequences!Come on Highways maintenance tidy away when not inuse for all our sakes!My new dog Sasha was introduced to you all through Animal Magiclast edition I decided to insure her with 'More Than' I have only paidone monthly payment, Sasha has made sure we have our monies worthand given me a few more grey hairs but thanks to Jane, Michaela andthe team at Miramar Vets of Cromer and Sheringham I am sleeping atnights, as they removed a conker from her gut which had stopped allnatural workings for a couple of days but had probably been working itsway through her system since last autumn!I totally recommend all pet owners buying insurance, Sasha is not sureof the colour but otherwise is quite content in her Recovery Suit.I will not print my thoughts on the proposed raise for our councillors but

please let me have your comments to print!

FROM THE EDITOR.

Dear Editor,With regard to your editorial in Crab TalesIssue 79 regarding the road works on the coastroad. The “nes “ that you referred to (ifthey DO become legislation) only apply to Aroads which the coast road is not. Secondly,any drivers continuing to drive through a roadclosure are liable for a £100 ne and three

points on their license if seen by the Police.I feel that the article was misleading as faras the comments about the ne, and slightlyirresponsible “applauding” drivers who hadignored the signs. To enable an Authority

to close a road to through tra c, a licensehas to be gained from the council to do so,and the road closure is actioned by a Tra cManagement company NOT the Authority whois actually repairing the road. This would have

been granted as an emergency closure due to a burst water main and the road was closed dueto safety reasons as such a large leak couldcause the road to subside. There are reasonsfor road closures which are not immediatelyobvious to drivers and should be obeyed.Kim Mitchell.

Ed..Next you’ll be telling me Cones arn’tfunny. See page 13 for cone joke.

Dear Editor,How do your readers react to our local DistrictCouncillors awarding themselves a 23% payrise this year?Although I am in no doubt that most of ourlocal District Councillors rightly deserve asmall increase in payments made to them, but23% is far too high, particularly when they areclosing facilities and increasing charges such ascar parking fees.How is this being paid? Answer by increasingcar parking charges by 30p per hour in touristtowns, beach hut fees rising by approx.. 133%,

and some local facilities, including toilets, being earmarked for closure etc. etc.Funding for our local authorities is being cut

back over recent years, but these are only a fewof the planned changes while at the same timeCouncil employees are being given a mere 1%increase in income this year, the Tory group areover paying themselves in comparison?At the last election in no councillor said theywould award themselves a 23% pay increaseor impose more cuts and charges. Councillorshave ignored the strength of feeling against this23% pay rise.What do you think?Regards, Philip Keddell

Dear Editor, I’m wondering if you may be able to help? Agroup of very enthusiastic people have beenfaithful attendees to deep water Aqua Therapyclasses which I teach and have been runningfor nearly ten years. Sadly, we have just lostour venue. What we require to continue ourregular classes is a heated indoor swimming

pool which is either all deep water or mostly1.8 - 2 metres depth. We wear buoyancy beltswhich allow movement against the resistanceof the belt and the water: a very signicantwork out indeed. It is a form of exercisewhich is not widely taught but nevertheless isextremely eective for any age, rehabilitationfrom injury/replacement joints, tness level,disablement, or for the very t. It is great funand everyone can work to their own ability.If you are aware of any pool which could

possibly be rented for our purpose, please doget in touch with Liz King, who very kindlyvolunteered this request via The Cromer CrabTalesMany thanks,Carole.

planned by the European Space Agency.But the story doesn’t end there. The 336 page book also features a second tale, set aboard a

together to reach a shocking conclusion – thesecret to mankind’s existence on Earth – in the

nal chapter. And judging by early reviewsthe heady mix has paid o, with claims the

book should be turned into a lm to rival ‘The

Martian’.Review excerpts:“Highly enjoyable! Well researchedand thought provoking!” - The ArdentReader, Amazon, Goodreads.

“The book is well-written and well- paced, and kept me enthralled all theway through. You can’t ask for morethan that.

NEW POST TO HELPNORFOLK COUNTY

COUNCIL TARGET BLUEBADGE FRAUD.

Norfolk County Council is recruiting a BlueBadge investigations Officer to help clampdown on fraud in the county.The new role, which has been funded bythe Norfolk Parking Partnership, will beimplemented as a result of concerns about themis-use of Blue Badges.Currently, there is no specific resource toinvestigate concerns so the person in postwill look into reports of inappropriate use ofthe blue badge and take appropriate action.This will range from advice and education to

prosecution in accordance with Norfolk CountyCouncil’s Enforcement Policy.Mis-use of a blue badge includes using a

badge that doesn’t belong to that personenabling them to park in a disabled person’s

parking bay or on double yellow lines forconvenience or to avoid paying parkingcharges. It also includes using a badge whichhas expired or is defaced; using a fake badge;or using a copy of a badge.The new post is being supported by the localdistrict councils who are aware of inappropriateuse of blue badges happening on a regular basisacross the county. Particular concerns are thatshop owners and retail workers in resort townsespecially are using the blue badge for easy

parking near to their business premises.Cllr Mick Castle, Chairman of the NorfolkParking Partnership Joint Committee, said:“I very much welcome the new position asadditional enforcement is clearly needed. BlueBadges can be a real lifeline for people whorely on them to do daily tasks which many ofus may take for granted, such as shopping andaccessing services like their doctor’s surgery.“Norfolk County Council provides disabled

bays in town centres as near to amenities as possible so that people with genuine needs can park as close as possible. Blue badge holderscan also park without restriction in any other

parking bay and or up to three hours on doubleyellow lines. So when people park in theselocations fraudulently they are preventing

people with genuine needs from accessingservices.”The Blue Badge Investigations Officer will

be supported by the county council’s tradingstandards team who already carry out similarenforcement work. Team Manager for NetworkManagement at Norfolk County Council, DaveStephens, said: “They will be part of the countycouncil team who support the delivery of CivilParking Enforcement. It will be an important

role to help ensure effective operation of thehighway network.“Although the Investigations Officer will

be there to educate people and undertakeenforcement, it is also important for blue badgeholders to take responsibility themselves andknow the rules governing the scheme. The

badge is for the sole use of the person namedon it and misusing the badge is a criminaloffence which can lead to a £1,000 fine.”Inappropriate use of a blue badge can restrictturnover in limited waiting parking spaceswhich can affect local businesses or result intraffic congestion as double yellow lines are

provided to keep areas free from parked cars.Jonathan Toy from West Norfolk Disabilityinformation Service said: “Blue Badges are a

vital resource for someone whose mobility islimited.

CONT.....

BLUE BADGE CONT...They allow a disabled person to park as near as

possible to their destination. Misuse by people

who do not require this help makes life harderfor disabled people. Far too often the parking

bays set aside for Blue Badge holders aremisused. It’s important that supermarkets andthe like police these bays properly.”

The part time role, with a contract xed forone year, can be viewed at: http://www.norfolk.gov.uk/Jobs_and_careers/Search_and_apply/index.htm

WHAT THE DOWST?

About with Friends’ supporters Ann and Malcolm Lown haveonce again raised a tremendous amount of money for the Cromer-

based charity by organising a facebook competition amongstfamily and friends. In 2014 they raised over £500 by posting

photos of places in Norfolk and asking facebook friends to guesswhere they were taken. Both the Lowns and the guesser poppeda pound in the pot when they got one right. Last year, the photo

competition was even harder as they posted close-up photos ofeveryday (and not so everyday) objects and asked people to guesswhat they were. They called the competition “What the dowst?”Which is the Norfolk dialect equivalent of “What the deuce?” or“What the devil?” This time they raised an incredible £805 whichthey handed over to the charity yesterday.The money is to be used to kit out the organisation’s base in HoltRoad with a giant projector screen, projector and surround systemso youth and adult social members can watch movies just likethey were at the cinema. The system will also be used for trainingand conferences.About With Friends, who oer people with learning disabilitiesthe chance to lead the lives they choose, run a range of servicesfor people from the age of 8 upwards. This includes socialactivities, respite breaks, supported living, and their ground-

breaking Workskills programme where adults with learningdisabilities are supported in commercial work ventures.The photo shows Malcolm and Ann presenting the cheque tomember Emily Voutt. Also pictured are members Stuart Phillips(centre), Danielle Tarrant (Far right), Sam Copeman (front left)and Biddy Butcher (front right)

Cromer Coast ProtectionSchemeClose to Completion

The £8 million pound scheme which restarted in September last yearis close to completion, with the nal stage being the resurfacing of

Cromer’s iconic Promenade.

Letters outlining the nal stages of the work have been given totraders and retailers along the Promenade from Melbourne Slope to the

Gangway to explain what will be happening between now and the end ofMarch.

Due to the nature of the work the area between Melbourne Slope andthe Gangway will be cordoned o from the public as the surface of the promenade has to be cut away exposing manhole covers, gullies and

other ironwork before being resurfaced later.

Special arrangements are being made to open up pedestrian access to as

many retailers as possible over the Easter weekend period.

· During the Easter weekend vehicle access will be restricted todrop-os for people with disabilities attending Pier shows and special

parking arrangements will be made for residents.

· A pedestrian corridor will give access from the Gangway to thePier and east end shops over the Easter weekend.

· There will be access to the west end amusement arcade via thesteps from the top of Melbourne Slope.

Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council said:“The Cromer Coast Protection Scheme is vitally important. It will

protect Cromer, its residents, its businesses and its visitors for manyyears to come.

How to Take Control of Psoriasis Insteadof Having ItTake Control of You!

Although psoriasis is a very common condition and certainly a part of the “bread and butter” ofgeneral practice, it is often thought of by many as being a very minor “nuisance factor” problems.However this is denitely not the case as many suerers will be able to testify. This chroniccondition can have a huge impact upon peoples’ quality of life, condence and even socialfunctioning. This is particularly true if they are not well managed and in this brief article I wouldlike to share some general advice about how to cope with this condition which will hopefullyempower you to take control of your skin.

Psoriasis- What is it?

Psoriasis is another common skin problem. In psoriasis there is a problem with the production ofnew skin cells. In normal circumstances skin cells are formed in the bottom layer of the skin andtravel up gradually to the top layer where they are usually shed after 3-4 weeks. In psoriasis this

process is accelerated and cells are formed and then shed in as little as 3 or 4 days. This givesrise to the inammation seen on the surface of the skin in psoriasis. As with eczema there can bea genetic tendency in some cases although in others it may be triggered by things such as throatinfections, smoking, high alcohol intake and certain medications. Dietary factors are not thoughtto be involved.

There are dierent subtypes of psoriasis. The most common type is plaque psoriasis where thereare well dened scaly areas on the skin which often appear pinky red and silvery. Other lesscommon forms include:

• Guttate psoriasis: Small patches of psoriasis which appear shortly after a sore throat• Pustular psoriasis: Characterised by yellow or brown pustules. This type often aectsthe palms or soles• Nail psoriasis: Nail changes are seen in half of patients with psoriasis and can include

pitting, thickening, discolouration or separation of the nail from the bed• Scalp psoriasis: Psoriasis often aects the scalp and can be mistaken for simple dandru • Erythodermic psoriasis: A potentially serious but rare form where the entire surface ofthe skin becomes red.

What can I do about Psoriasis?

• Stop smoking- smoking is known to worsen psoriasis and is the trigger in some cases• Reduce alcohol: Heavy intake can trigger ares in some people• Stress management: as high stress levels can aect the severity of psoriasis• Seek medical advice about treatment: The mainstay of treatment in most cases is creamsand ointments as in eczema. As with eczema, emollient therapy is also useful and all of the same

advice applies. There are several specic treatments for psoriasis - these include vitamin D basedtreatments (such as Calcipotriol), steroid creams/ointments (often a stronger strength is required),coal tar preparations, salicylic acid, Dithranol and Tazarotene. In some cases combinations areused. Shampoos are available for the treatment of scalp symptoms. As this aspect of treatment can

be quite complex it is vital to discuss with a GP who will be able to advise further. In some casesa specialist referral can be needed to consider other treatments such as tablets or ultraviolet light

• Keep an eye on your weight, exercise levels and blood pressure- this is because research in recent years has shown that psoriasisis linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

Women’s League of Health & BeautyNo, not the organisation that 007 faces in the next BondMovie but something far more surprising .In 1930 Mary Bagot Stack created the Women’s Leagueof Health & Beauty. Her vision was of “a league ofwomen who will renew their energy in themselves andfor themselves day by day”. She believed in the power ofwomen to make the world a better place to live in.

Her work started in London where in 1925 she openedher Bagot Stack Health School. By 1930 she had trainedenough enthusiastic young teachers to help her launchher ‘Women’s League’ which enjoyed immediate andoutstanding success – the growth was spectacular. MaryBagot Stack was a total inspiration and her ‘health training’classes combined exactly the right mixture of hard workand fun so that after only 7 years since its inception 166,000women had joined the League.This pioneering concept changed its name to the FitnessLeague in 1999 but the ideals of empowerment, inclusionand that all women can be the best that she can be, remain.For Women in our area it’s Annamarie that offers theFitness League classes. Annamarie, a local mum of fourspoke to Crabtales to explain the concept.,

“Fitness League classes combine movement with a strongcentral core and body strengtheningexercises. Our focus is on developing good posture andcorrect body alignment, and lengtheningand strengthening muscle groups to encourage full rangeof movement. You then become morebody aware, and feel taller, stronger and more mobile.Classes are suitable for participants of allabilities, ages and shapes, and are taught to music in a funand friendly environment. Bagot Stackclasses provide a complete body exercise. No previousdance or exercise experience is needed.Of course, nowadays many other forms of exercise areavailable and women have so many morelifestyle choices. What’s different about Fitness League isthat classes are about learning to useour bodies better and become the best version of ourselvesthat we can be, rather than aiming fora quick fix or an unrealistic ideal. They are classes for realwomen in today’s world, just as theyalways have been.”The ladies in Annamarie’s classes are happy to sing herpraises.A wonderful class. It does wonders for my poor posture.The hour flies by and everyone has fun.Shelia - MundesleyAs an older member of the class my aim is to stay activeand healthy. Having a fully qualifiedteacher is the answer. Thank you AnnamarieFor further details www.daytimefitnessclasses.co.ukOr phone Annamarie on 07989285599

“Blitzen” the MundesleyCoastwatch Rescue Seal was

returned to the sea 11/02/2016.

Christmas arrived early in December 2015 for a poorly grey seal pupchristened Blitzen. The gorgeous pup was rescued from MundesleyBeach by Stephanie on 9th December 2015.Stephanie is Mundesley’s very own Marine Medic in addition to beinga Coastwatch Keeper. Two additional Mundesley Coastwatch Keepers,Peter and Ken, joined in the December rescue by carrying the ailing

pup to the ramp to await the arrival of Nat from the Sea Life Centre in

Hunstanton.Blitzen was very underweight at just 18kgs and was dehydrated. He hada very swollen muzzle and lots of small bite marks to his shoulders, hipsand ippers. Poor little Blitzen was also hypoglaecemic.Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary has done an amazing job caring forBlitzen, in its fantastic modern rehabilitation facility, nursing him backto health.The Mundesley Coastwatch Crew went on to adopt Blitzen so that theywould be able to follow him through his rehabilitation journey and backto the wild. We were thrilled to be invited to his release back in to hisnatural environment.Blitzen is now a healthy 45kg and was released on 11th February atWinterton -on-Sea. The release was managed by Hollie and Nat fromHunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary accompanied by a very proud and happyStephanie. The joyous return to nature was supported and watched by agroup of Coastwatch Keepers: Nick, Jeremy, Pete and John. Nick very

kindly said a few words to wish Blitzen well as he headed o to the sea

as though he had never been away.

Blitzen was joined in his release by a lovely young lady called Rudolphwho was rescued from Winterton-on-Sea. By coincidence, as the sealswere released, the couple who had reported the poorly Rudolph beingstranded, came upon the release party and were able to join in with thegood news.Stephanie would like to publicly thank Sea Life’s wonderful animal careteam for all their very, very hard work. Three more of the Coast WatchCrew are hoping to train as Marine Medics which will give us morecoverage along the coast. The Marine Medic work is all voluntary, as isCoastwatch, and we are happy to receive donations to help us carry onwith keeping our ‘’eyes along the coast’’ as well as helping to keep our

beautiful wildlife safe.

MORE NORFOLK YOUNG PEOPLESOUGHT AFTER DUKE OF EDINBURGHPROGRAMME HELPS YOUNG WOMAN

BECOME A FIREFIGHTER Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service is appealing for more young people

locally to take part in a Duke of Edinburgh Award programme thatthe service runs, and which has recently helped a young woman from

London to become a reghter. Norfolk’s is the only Fire and Rescue Service in the country to run the

week-long Duke of Edinburgh Award Gold Residential programme.The programme takes place ve times a year (during school holidays), providing 17-25 year olds from across the UK with an opportunity to

experience tasks and activities related to Fire and Rescue Service work.Based at Fakenham Fire Station, the programme focuses on tasks and

challenges, and just like operational crews, those taking part work, eatand rest together to provide a realistic experience of what it’s like to be

part of a Fire and Rescue Service.The scheme has been running for ve years in total and Izzy Ryan, 21,from London, recently became the rst student from the course to be

employed as a full-time reghter – joining London Fire Brigade.After successfully completing the course in Norfolk in 2013, Izzy

returned to the county last summer (2015) to volunteer with the Fire andRescue Service, helping reghters to run the Duke of Edinburgh course

that she had attended two years before.Izzy said: “It has been without a doubt the toughest thing I have hadto do but the most rewarding opportunity. To be 21 years of age and

have fullled my ambition to become a reghter is amazing. I have alot of people and organisations to thank for getting me to this point and

giving me all these brilliant opportunities from volunteering as a recadet instructor in London, to being an applicant on the Norfolk Fireand Rescue Service D of E residential, to being given the opportunity

to come back and volunteer with Norfolk Fire and Rescue. It’s been anamazing journey so far.”

Mark Keddie, Duke of Edinburgh Award Advisor at Norfolk Fire andRescue Service, said: “It is fantastic that we attract young people fromall over the country and beyond. However, we would encourage more

local young people to think about taking part as this is an excellentopportunity for them right on their doorstep in Norfolk. Employers

recognise that the DofE helps young people to develop essential work-ready skills including resilience, commitment, self-motivation and

team working, and that D of E Award holders are just the type of youngrecruits they want in their workplaces.

“Of course, the programme also provides great re and rescueexperience. We were delighted that Izzy took up the challenge of ourcourse in Norfolk, returned to volunteer with us, and that experience

has helped play a part in her, deservingly, securing a re ghter role inLondon. She has achieved her ambition of joining London Fire Brigade,

in her home city, and we wish her every success.”

HAPPISBURGH GETS GO-AHEAD FORNEIGHBOURHOOD AREA

NNDC has approved the application of Happisburgh Parish Council todesignate the parish area as a ‘Neighbourhood Area’. The applicationwas approved at the Cabinet meeting on 8 February.

The Government introduced the community right to undertake Neighbourhood Planning through the Localism Act.

The designation of a Neighbourhood Area enables, but does not obligate,the Parish Council to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan. Such plans may

contain local policies or proposals relating to the development ofland, and, once adopted, becomes part of the wider statutory Local

Development Plan for North Norfolk.

Vikings and Dragons

Well, another half term survived! This one was very eventful with so much going on aroundthe locality it was hard to choose where to go. The highlight was denitely freezing ourngers and toes o in the snow and hail at the Viking festival for the procession down throughSheringham to the beach to burn the long boat. Anything that involves ghting men, ames

and lots of shouting makes my prodigal very happy! Less so for those of us with him asfrostbite nipped at all our extremities. But good show to the Viking re-enactors, who were

amazing albeit very blue looking by the end of the procession! The highlight though had to be getting to Norwich Castle to see Hiccup the dragon trainer and a brilliant exhibition – Iam not sure who had the most fun at times the adults or the children. There as there wereso many opportunities to dress up and make a fool of yourself – and all without the aid of

alcohol! Most notable though, was a couple of days later seeing the grandparents making fulluse of my sons Viking helmet uttering war cries and brandishing swords and shields. You

really are never too old to have fun…….In contrast the same week it was amusing to see the consternation and delay that the

roadworks along the backend of the high street caused for a few days. It was certainly alogistical nightmare for the company carrying out the works and interesting navigating a fewof the little lanes to get around the diversion, but I was abbergasted by the behaviour of one particular car whom I met coming the wrong way up the one-way street from the shopper’scar park! “nowt as strange as folk” as they say. However, true to form the work was carriedout and completed on time, and we only had 4 days of disruption, though I am sure for many

it felt much longer.Mother’s day is on the horizon, and I cannot wait for soggy toast and spilt tea, and maybe anillegible card that I can keep and bring out at every opportunity once the prodigal comes of

age. A parents prerogative methinks! Then it’s the downhill slope now to Easter and the rstof the holiday weekends. Speculation has already begun in our household of whether it will be a heatwave or we will be huddling around the re this year. Preparation for the Sunday

celebrations are underway, for some it’s all about bunnies and chocolate, or celebratingthe religious events heralded at that time. For all of us it’s time to gather our nearest and

dearest and bring in the Spring. The prodigal is already writing to the Easter Bunny as hehas realised that the EB takes on where Santa leaves, and is watching his every move. When

he realises dierently I think I may have to move out, but I am clinging on for now. I amwishing for a dry day to make the stashing of the eggs early Sunday morning less soggy, andmaybe, just maybe the dog will not give the game away by barking hysterically because she’s

so excited as I creep around. All I wonder is whether it will be a Viking yelling a war cry ora dragon breathing re that is running around the garden hunting them out, and whether it’s

the children or the adults that are the loudest!

comFacebook.com/ANightOfDirtyDancing/ Twitter.com/GoDirtyDancingBack in 1987 a low-budget film captured the hearts of cinemagoers the

world over as two relatively unknown performers – Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey – danced their way to movie immortality, and $214m at the

box office. Since then, generation after generation has continued to takethe legendary production – Dirty Dancing – to their hearts.

“To satisfy the overwhelming demand,” says Michael, “we went on theroad during the spring of 2015 with a theatre show that offered an all-newtake on the classic story. “Having enjoyed many sold-out performances as

we criss-crossed the country we are now proud to announce an even moreextensive tour with a larger cast commencing March 2016.”

A Night of Dirty Dancing – the ultimate tribute show – fast forwards

theatregoers to Kellerman’s end of season show, retelling the tale froman alternative perspective, and still featuring the hits from everyone’s

favourite dance movie.Dirty Dancing’s score included: She’s Like the Wind, Big Girls Don’t

Cry, Hey Baby, Wipeout, Do You Love Me, Be My Baby, Hungry Eyesand the Oscar-winning (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.

Fans are invited to take a trip back to the summer of ’63, to relive PatrickSwayze and Jennifer Grey’s sizzling performance in the ultimate coming

of age romance.“It’s all down to Kellerman’s end-of-season show,” says Michael. “Revelin the moments you loved, the memories you made and the music that’s

resonated throughout the years.”“Prepare for a night of dirty dancing with the brand-new sensational,

inspirational, ‘aspirational’ box office smash of the year,” says Michael.“Our sensational production brings all the hits to life, lavishly, live on

stage.”

The show is not affiliated with Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story On Stagecurrently on tour in the UK and worldwide. “It’s an all-new production

featuring an all-star cast, the next exciting chapter in the amazingmusical legacy that is Dirty Dancing,” says Michael.
