The Brighton Whiteley Synthetic Cabaret Hour
Welcome to the world of synthetic cabaret - the cabaret phenomenon of the 21st century! Join host Brighton Whiteley, his extended family and special guests for a fun-packed evening of music, games and laughs. Featuring:
- Brighton Whiteley, the host. Brighton grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and fought his way into the glamorous world of show business. His development of the synthetic cabaret hour combines the floorshow of cabaret with synthesized renditions of classic songs.
- His father, Brian. Despite Brian's rough exterior he really has a heart of gold. It's only his eyes that give away his true age, which can get him in to trouble occasionally...
- His sister, Briony. Briony hit a fork in her life - should she study to be an opera singer or settle down and have a family? One thing if for sure, she'll jump at any opportunity to get on to the stage.
- His nephew, Bradley. Bradley is 15, learning the guitar and destined to make a career in music - if his mum has anything to do with it, anyway.
- His brother-in-law, Bruce. Briony made Bruce promise to sing a song in the show if Bradley would play one. But Bruce works such long hours, will he even make it to the show before the end?
- His cousin, Boater. Based in the south of England, Boater is that jolly good sort of chap who doesn't mind a good chat on the phone, especially to his antipodean cousin Brighton. Isn't technology a splendid thing?
- And then there's uncle Bartholomew, the maestro of the family. A enigma in black, Bartholomew is Bartholomew. He defies further description.

Scott Sanders live and acoustic
Scott Sanders, stripped back to his bare essentials - his voice and his guitar. Whether performing his own songs or his favourite classics from an extensive collection of covers - a collection of hundreds of songs from the twentieth century and beyond - his 25+ years of singing with a guitar brings it all back to where he began. His unique interpretations of his eclectic repertoire bring diverse genres together for a unexpectedly cohesive performance.
