Live Events & Exhibition Programme
Our programme of live music, comedy and theatre continued to go from strength to strength – evidenced by an increase in ticket sales across the board. We again brounght world-class touring musicians to the city and highlights included concerts by Thea Gilmore, The Wedding Present, Dreadzone and the Bluetones( acoustic). Jazz at Wolverhampton brought artists of the calibre of Emma Rawicz, Ivo Neame, Empirical and Eddie Parker to our venue while folk highlights included Megson, Wakefire, the Carrivick Sisters and Winter Union. A very strong year for comedy saw Sukh Olja, Paul Foot, Rob Newman, Fesshole and Richard Blackwood entertain Wolverhampton audiences.
We remained a vital venue for youth and community groups to perform, including Central Youth Theatre, Stagecoach Wolverhampton, Studio 61 and the Amy G school.
In the Gallery Hall our exhibitions programme included the hugely successful Wolverhampton Print Fest, Wolverhampton University fine art students, Penn Fields School and the Good Shepherd. Our community visual arts event Paint The Day returned for another popular edition.
