The Century Theatre has two shows on this weekend.

On Friday night, a tribute to 80s pop band Erasure will be playing live.

n 1995 Mark appeared on ITV's "Stars In Their Eyes" (and again for the 1995 Christmas Special) as Erasure's Andy Bell, to universal acclaim.

He met Pete in 1996 and the pair began writing original material together and at the same time launched Erasured, with which they toured the circuit for over ten years. The magic eventually waned, but the pair stayed the closest of friends.

Then in 2018 Mark and Pete were invited to recreate the recent arena gigs Robbie Williams had done with Erasure. They agreed to do the gig as a 'one off' for nostalgia's sake. The show was a huge success and they again found their passion for Erasure music, and started touring again, with new technology and new outfits.

On Saturday, The D-Day Juniors Back Home bring their brand new show to The Century Theatre.

Following in the footsteps of The D-Day Darlings, the Juniors capture the imagination of a new generation and aim to keep the wartime spirit alive.

Produced and hosted by Katie Ashby, the founder and lead singer of the Darlings, and performed by the talented troupe of young performers; the show is a moving celebration of song, dance, music and reflection, encompassing a variety of musical styles and genres, in dedication to those who have served.
