Fringe Progress
We are half way through our Bury Fringe 07 run and things are going really well. Our first show "8 Tens From 8" was very well received. We were four off a full house at the Con Club and our second show, "Something Different" was a sell out success!
Tonight brings our third event, the "Learning Disabilty Group Theatre Night". DayWalker have had a great time working with the group from the Info Bar in Whiting Street and we are looking forward to another great and enjoyable evening today.
We have unfortunately had to cancel or Friday night event due to administration complications but watch this space for a rescheduling of a fantastic night of Jazz at Café Rouge.
