Rick Wakeman's Grumpy Old Picture Show - 2008 Leg

"I have to admit that even I was surprised by the great reception and excellent reviews that The Grumpy Old Picture Show received last year, and was even more surprised when the promoter, Original Entertainment Programming, called me and said they had had an amazing amount of requests from theatres to put the show on in 2008. 24 to be exact!

Whilst this almost takes up my self allotted quota of shows for each year in one fell swoop, it did seem a shame that so much hard work on putting the show together would have only seen 18 or so shows performed and so I agreed to take the Grumpy Old Picture Show out one more time!

For those of you who did get to see one of the shows last year, it's only fair to mention that this will indeed be very much the same show, with just one or two minor changes here and there.

Hope you can make it to one of the shows.........."

Once again, we are compelled to make the following additional announcement about the tour. Rick does not choose the venues or the towns - the tour is put together by a promoter who attempts to sell the idea to theatres the length and breadth of the UK. Please do not email us to complain.
