DON’T ROCK THE BOAT

In a wild ride down the Thames, the tranquil river waters turn into a storm in a teapot as Robin Hawdon's brilliant comedy unfolds!

Picture this. Brash, self-made property tycoon Arthur Bullhead is on a mission to seal the deal of his dreams. But instead of a boardroom, he chooses the quirky setting of his converted riverside barge, the Bunty, for a weekend getaway with the local planning committee chairman and his unsuspecting family.

Little do they know, Bullhead's idea of a relaxing weekend involves more chaos than calm. With personalities clashing like bumper cars at a fairground, the stage is set for a comedy of errors. Bullhead's shady business tactics clash with the straight-laced Coombes family's morals faster than you can say "high tide."

As the weekend unfolds, Bullhead's antics leave the Coombes in knots, with his offer dangling like a carrot on a fishing line. But will they take the bait, or will they stage a mutiny on the Bunty?! With Bullhead's skittish wife Mary and rebellious daughter Shirley adding fuel to the fire, it's a recipe for hilarity that'll leave you in stitches!

CELEBRATING 65 YEARS OF THE SHADOWS

The Shadows were undoubtedly the UK’s (and arguably the world’s) most successful instrumental group.  When ‘Apache’ topped the charts in 1960, it paved the way for a raft of chart successes that spanned five decades.

Returning to The Mill for their fifteenth visit, The Bourne Again Shadows reproduce these classic sounds with striking authenticity:

’'This band’s tribute to The Shadows is not only faithful, but immaculate.  Close your eyes and it could be 1960.  It’s the real deal and shouldn’t be missed'

Mike Hurst, The Springfields

As well as playing classic hits like Apache, Kontiki, Wonderful Land, Dance On and Foot-tapper, the band also draws on The Shadows extensive back catalogue of EP and LP tracks.

So join us on 13th September: we guarantee you will be tapping your feet down memory lane.
