One of the greatest ever Portsmouth acoustic blues roots bands, Reet Petite & Gone, are back together again - for just ONE more gig! It's this Sunday (17th January) at The New Theatre Royal, Southsea - with Paul Jones, of The Blues Band, also well known by many as the singer from Manfred Mann and the presenter of BBC Radio 2' s weekly blues programme. This is the first FULL LINE-UP of Reet Petite & Gone (Dave Allen, Denis Reeve-Baker, Nick Evans, and Stewart Carr) since they supported Woodstock legend Country Joe McDonald on his nationwide 2001 tour. But it's not just Reet Petite and Gone- …the inimitable Sandi Toksvig will be compering an evening of drama, song and comedy. Drama will come from Sheila Hancock OBE, and Christopher Timothy, last seen starring in Chichester Festival Theatre’s critically acclaimed 'The Grapes of Wrath'. Elis James will provide plenty of laughs and Britain’s premier magician Fay Presto, who counts Paul McCartney and JK Rowling as her biggest fans, will perform mind-blowing magic. Tickets for this great evening's entertainment are £35 (£25 concessions). You can buy your tickets from the box office - ring 023 9264 9000 or book online at www.newtheatreroyal.com So don't delay - this is your LAST CHANCE to see Reet Petite & Gone - and when they're gone, they're gone. Real gone.....
