| Amazing but true - it’s now 15 years since Shropshire’s infamous satirical singing trio Three Men in a Bowtie gave their very first concert. Since then they’ve performed to almost 45,000 ecstatic people in over 300 village halls - appearing on BBC 1 & BBC 2 and at the Edinburgh, Ludlow, Leominster and Much Wenlock Festivals along the way. So expect a riotous, irreverent, lampooning evening! See link for details. |
