Peel Pantoloons presents Alice in Wonderland @ Centenary Centre
Dec 7 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Young Alice, bored of the books with no pictures, follows a cheeky white rabbit (with terrible timekeeping) down a rabbit hole and into a place like no where on Earth…Wonderland! But all is not well in this curious place for it is the Queen of Hearts’ un-birthday party and the wicked Knave has a plot to steal the jam tarts! With the help of the Duchess, a sassy Cheshire Cat and the maddest of Hatters, will Alice be able to save Wonderland? And why is a raven like a writing desk? 
 
Find out in the pantomime that’ll leave you shouting “Callooh! Callay!”

John Gregory – Free Atholl Room Concert
Dec 13 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

John Gregory will be performing a ‘homecoming’ concert at the Atholl Room at the Centenary Centre, Peel, on Friday, December 13.
This is his first full-length performance in the island after his recent mini-UK tour.
John’s had a bumper year of playing – by Christmas he’s on track to complete more than 130 performances. Early this year he was featured in Blues Matters magazine and he’s also had the honour of sharing the stage with some of his musical heroes.
As a thank you to everyone who has supported him throughout the year John has decided to make this show totally free (though donations will be welcome for the hire of the venue).
You can expect an evening of fancy fingerpicking guitar, stories of the blues greats and singalongs.
The concert will start at 7.30pm prompt and there will be an interval in the middle so people can grab a pint across the road and there’ll be plenty of time to head back to the pub afterwards as he’ll be finished at 9.30pm. (Please note there will be no bar/refreshments available at the centre on the night).
“A very fine acoustic picker” – Blues Matters magazine
“John is an outstanding musician of early blues and ragtime styles”

Jazz Sabbath @ Centenary Centre
Feb 8 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Jazz Sabbath is an English jazz trio, with a fictional backstory that they are from the late sixties. The band was created by Adam Wakeman, touring keyboard and guitar player for Black Sabbath (2004–2017) and Ozzy Osbourne band member (2004–present). Jazz Sabbath plays jazz renditions of Black Sabbath songs, claiming to be the original writers of those songs and accusing Black Sabbath of plagiarism.[2]

The band first appeared in a mockumentary on YouTube in February 2020. In this short film band leader Milton Keanes (Adam Wakeman) was interviewed by actor Robert Powell about the early days of Jazz Sabbath, their cancelled debut album and the alleged theft of their songs by Black Sabbath. This album was later released as an actual album on 10 April 2020.[3]

Boomin @ Centenary Centre
Sep 27 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Strap yourself in – the lads from Wigan are on their way!

This incredible live party band have personality, energy and sass by the metric ton; their presence brings instant vibrancy to a room, even before they’ve played a note.

With Boomin Band you don’t just get one charismatic front man, you get three! Each band member sings lead vocals as well as harmonising and playing live. By the way, EVERYTHING is live here, there is nothing on track. Each band member has the audience eating from the palm of their hand!

And Boomin’s charm does not stop there. We’ve rarely seen a band as interactive as these guys! All 3 are uber-talented musicians with performing skills and surprises every step of the way.

Boomin’s talent explodes from the stage, and so do they on occasion. We have known them to use the whole venue as part of their act. There aren’t any barriers to this group making sure you have an amazing time! They bring an element of anarchic fun to every event gig.

Their incomparable style and skill for moving smoothly from one song to another is legendary. They segue seamlessly from indie to pop then rock to punk, you will never know what’s coming next! You might be dancing to Arctic Monkeys one minute and Abba the next! These guys will keep you and your guests on your toes. Trust us when we tell you, it’s delightful to be entertained by them.

They could be considered a little bit wild, they’re definitely very spontaneous!
