I'm Still Standing – The Music of Elton John

The Grand Hall | Scarborough Spa

I'm Still Standing – The Music of Elton John is a musical celebration of the legendary 50  year career of Sir Elton John.

Featuring all of his greatest hits performed by the outstanding Joel Buckingham and backed by an amazing live band.

No show about Elton John would be complete  without the outrageous outfits and glasses which have become a signature of his live shows from  the early 1970's right up to the modern day. 

Elton John has sold over 366 million records and is also credited with the biggest selling single of all time. His unique blend of pop and rock styles turned him into one of the biggest icons of the 20th century.

Alongside his stellar solo career he has also found time to compose scores and songs for several West End Musicals including the award winning Billy Elliot and movies such as the much acclaimed The Lion King. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame in 1994 and knighted in 1998.

Show producer Ash Sethi ensures that both the performance and staging are of the highest level in order to further the impression of watching the real Elton John live.

The challenge of writing a show that covers 5 decades and multiple costumes was blending it all together. This has been achieved with strong imagery throughout the show aided by the use of projections both on the screen and even the piano itself. Recreated audio snippets add to the atmosphere of each decade and combine with the visuals to set the perfect backdrop for each era of Elton John's long career.

The show takes you throughn incredible legacy of great songs and music and features all the hits including Crocodile Rock, Rocket Man, Candle in the Wind, Don't Go Breaking My Heart, Sacrifice, Daniel and The Circle of Life.

“Amazing tribute to Elton John.” - Mark Ritchie - The Stage
“6000 people just had a great night!” - Claire Watson - Alexandra Palace
“Joel's performance as Elton John is staggeringly close to the real thing.” - The Weekly Herald
“At the end of the show the audience rose to their feet for the ovation, they didn't want it to end.” - The Daily Post

Ticket Prices: £26.50 & £22.50 (Concessions) plus booking fees

Matt Anderson Quartet

The Grand Hall | Scarborough Spa

The 36th Annual Boyes Celebrity Concert with The Matt Anderson Quartet

London-based saxophonist and Dankworth Prize-winning composer Matt Anderson presents his quartet touring their new, critically-acclaimed release ‘Rambling’.

Since its launch in June 2018 at the hotbed of the creative London jazz scene, the Vortex Jazz Club, the album has won praise from the likes of Jazzwise, BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM for its “outstanding,” melodic writing and “uniformly excellent playing”, all fronted by Anderson’s warm tenor sound.

The band brings together seemingly distinct musical influences, for example exploring the common ground between the folk music reminiscent of Matt’s rural upbringing in the North Yorkshire Moors, the bluesy, country strains of Bill Frisell and Scandinavian jazz, culminating in a lyrical and personal Afro-Celtic sound world.

The band has performed across the UK as well as appearing as finalists at the Keep an Eye International Jazz Competition at Amsterdam’s Bimhuis.

The new album follows Matt’s debut, Wild Flower, which was described by Selwyn Harris of Jazzwise as “their own unique stamp on Shorter’s very personal repertoire… of a quality that resonates with its inspirational source… Enjoyably un-pretentious.”

Matt's Quartet will be performing in the first half, then alongside the Scarborough Music Centre youth ensembles in the second half.

Tickets will be availble to purchase on the door. 

Tickets: £10, £8 (Concessions)
