Front person Kevin Rowland would go on to release both solo and further band albums, under the Dexys name, including their 2012 ‘comeback’ album, One Day I’m Going To Soar, which came out to widespread acclaim.

Rowland, one of the most individual and unique musical talents of the past 40 years, recently released his memoir, Bless Me Father.

Originally The New Theatre, it opened on Boxing Day, 1912. It went through several iterations, being renamed once before becoming the Opera House in 1920. It's also been used for different functions; as a cinema in WW2, then a bingo hall before reopening as a theatre again in 1984. Since, it has hosted magnificent shows like Barnum and Phantom of the Opera.
