Doors from 1:00pm | First act 2pm Keep up to date on our SOCIALS . Last live act ends at 9:45pm with music continuing until 10:30pm (bar ends 11pm tbc) ITS....THE BOBO SHOW The Bobo Show is an annual music event showcasing all the talent and progress made by students across the year. Students of @benporterguitar and @tomcollinsdrums come together to perform music they have prepared through hard work in lessons, practice and rehearsals. The skill displayed, performance and energy displayed at this show gets bigger and better every year and next year promises to be EPIC!!! THE BOBO SHOW XL 2025 SATURDAY 5th JULY linktr.ee/thebobosocial Why XL? Well it's a certain person's 40th birthday on 5th July so it's going to be a BIG celebration of music, friends, family and a toast to the next chapter!!! A BRIEF HISTORY OF BOBO Founded in 2012, 'The Bobo Country Show' was a live music event put together by Ben Porter, (guitar tutor extraordinaire and all around great guy) as a way of showcasing the amazing talent of his guitar students by featuring them in a live music event alongside a band of professional session musicians. Tom Collins played a large part in the organisation of the event as well as featuring as a session musician for the performance each year. After a triumphant first event the show successfully returned in 2013 and was re imagined in 2014 as 'The Bobo Rock n' Roll Show'. After a four year hiatus the show returned in 2018 in a new and improved format. No more session musicians covering the entire set on drums, bass, keyboards and vocals.... just a multi instrumentalist student-led performance with a couple of guest musicians supporting the students. In 2021 (postponed from 2020) the guitar/bass/vocal/ukulele students of Ben Porter, and Drum students of Tom Collins and Tom Findlay had the opportunity to perform together LIVE in bands with the expert guidance and mentorship of their tutors after a rather interesting 18 months of learning remotely via zoom. The event was incredible and a real shift in gears for The Bobo Show, with a full professional stage and crew being hired to deliver the event to an audience of 300 people. FOR 2022 the addition of more stalls and activities saw The Bobo Show turn in to an awesome mini festival with a real community spirit. For 2023 we introduced the TRIBUTE set where we select a band or artist to focus our music on. We chose RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and it went down a storm, the following year in 2024 we chose DAVE GROHL, performing songs by Nirvana, Foo Fighters and more. 2025 BOBO XL promises to be THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! If you book them (the tickets) you will come! (cos you paid for a ticket!) FAQ - what is BOBO? "ORGANISED CHAOS!!!!!" and "THE BEST PARENTS EVENING EVER!!!" PLEASE ENJOY.

Join us for a brilliant evening with Poppy T. Perry, discussing her fantastic debut Dead Real . Grab your zom-stompers and a spare pair of pants, shit’s about to get real… Poppy will be in conversation with Cheddar Gorgeous. About the Book Nora Inkwell is totally, completely, absolutely going to tell her best friend and fellow horror movie superfan, Ruby, that she’s in love with her. It doesn't matter that Baxter from Body Combat wrote on the college wall that Nora's frigid. Or that Ruby is more interested in losing her lesbian v-plates before they start university. And it certainly doesn't matter that Nora's old school friends said that all bisexuals are attention-seeking wannabes!... It might matter that the entire town has turned into flesh-eating zombies.Guess there's no time like the (deadly, dangerous, zombie-swamped) present to confess your *undying* love. About the Author Poppy (she/her) is a magnet to anything fast-paced and playful. She collects chaos like a magpie collects shiny things. This creates a fun chaotic energy that is a key element in her Young Adult storytelling. When not writing, Poppy can be found reading YA novels, comics, or drawing while listening to REALLY LOUD MUSIC. Poppy has come out as queer more times than she cares to remember but found she kept being shoved back into the closet. Each time she had to build up the courage to climb out again, and it was exhausting. The last time Poppy came out, she took an axe to her own personal closet and smashed it to splinters before setting it alight, just for good measure. The resulting desire to break down heteronormative worldviews and help others find the confidence to live their best life is at the heart of her work. Poppy lives as a landlocked mermaid in the West Midlands, taking every opportunity to run away to the coast. She also works as a consulting artist and art technician at a sixth-form college, where she loves helping young creatives. About the Chair Cheddar Gorgeous (A.K.A Dr Michael Atkins), is a Drag performer, visual artist and academic based in Manchester. He is a founding member of Manchester’s monthly home of the fabulous, Cha Cha Boudoir, and defines himself on Instagram as a Unicorn and super-hero and idealist. In his performance work, Cheddar is particularly interested in disrupting the gender conventions often inherent in UK drag, by mixing and playing with signifiers of masculine and feminine beauty. Cheddar believes that drag has potential beyond a form of entertainment, to be a social and political tool which engenders community growth, furthers the work of charities and social causes and is a shifting space where all manner of identities, feelings and experiences can be expressed. His doctoral work in anthropology focused on the spatial multiplicity of contemporary urban gay villages and incorporated the use of graphic novella as a form of ethnographic storytelling.Cheddar brings to the discussion an interest in how drag can allow us to look at beauty beyond gender, as a form of creative becoming through which people can transform different facets of their identity, their flesh and even their species.
