WHAT: Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra WHERE: Sutton Coldfield Town Hall WHEN: <strong>January</strong> 21 Birmingham Philharmonic’s last concert at Sutton Coldfield Town Hall formed part of the ‘Save the Town Hall Campaign’. Three years on then and, whisper it quietly, the Town Hall is back, looking firmly on the path to salvation. So it is under far happier circumstances that Birmingham Philharmonic are welcomed back to Sutton Coldfield for their <strong>2018</strong> concert, An Invitation to the Dance. Under the expert eye of conductor, Richard Laing, this will without doubt be a night of musical marvels. The performance will open with Weber’s ‘Invitation to the Dance’ before moving onto pieces by Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky to Kodaly and Strauss – among esteemed others.

WHAT: An Evening with Pam Ayres WHERE: Lichfield Garrick WHEN: <strong>January</strong> 27 Pam Ayres has been making the nation laugh for more than 40 years. A writer, broadcaster, and entertainer, she is the author of several best-selling poetry collections, including The Works, With These Hands, Surgically Enhanced and You Made Me Late Again! Funny and warm, her charming understated manner belies a rare comic precision. Her hair-trigger timing, her eye for the absurd details of everyday life, and unforgettable turn of phrase, combine to make her a true national treasure. Pam is a regular face on television, and recent radio broadcasts include Just A Minute, Loose Ends, and five of her own series of Ayres On The Air for Radio 4. Aged 69, Pam is still one of the most popular female comedians performing in UK theatres, and the Lichfield show this month looks set to be a sell-out.
