The Ely show is being organised by Ely based Scott Archer, who runs an events company and has billed the night as “an entertainment packed evening for all.”

Also featuring in the show will be up and coming Cambridge based percussive guitarist Will Robert, and the former member of Hamfatter, Mark Ellis and his Band.

New solo artist Anton White will also perform, before the night ends with a late night disco. A fully licensed bar will be available.

Scott said: I want to bring something new to Ely, and The Maltings, which is under new management, is an ideal venue for a variety show. If this goes well, we are looking to make it a monthly event.”

Tickets for the show that starts at 8pm cost £10 in advance and £12 on the door. Tickets are available from Burrows Bookshop in Ely High Street Passage, or by calling 01353 610868.
