Theatre announces first post-lockdown shows of 2021

A town's theatre is preparing to welcome back crowds after announcing their first shows of 2021.

The Canopy Theatre, in Beccles' Hungate Church, will begin life post-third lockdown later this month with a double-header show featuring two local singer-songwriters.

Hannah Scott will return to her Suffolk roots on May 29, while Stuart Mack will be taking to the stage to perform his solo show later the same night.

Having released her most recent album Pieces of the Night in 2018, Ms Scott has been streaming shows online and recording throughout the three national lockdowns and has released four singles since May last year ahead of her next album.

Mr Mack, who set up Green Fingers Music in Pakefield in the 1990s,  returns to the venue following a successful appearance last year.

Next month, folk-Americana duo Roswell will take to the stage, having been due to perform at the venue in December before coronavirus restrictions forced the show to be postponed.

The duo, made up of Zoe Wren and Jasmine Watkiss, will welcome visitors on June 4 at 8pm.

Tickets for the socially distanced shows are now available from www.ticketsource.co.uk/martello-promotions.
