Image via WikipediaYour usual Thursday live music selection includes Lynnette Marie appearing at The Northern Renegades and Mart Rodger Manchester Jazz performing at Burton Jazz Club. There’s also live stand up comedy at The Wetmore Whistle.

All this week until Saturday there is a Fiddler on the Roof at The Brewhouse and he must be freezing by now, not to mention precariously balanced!

Tomorrow night Dr Busker is performing at Belvedere Park. He is described as “the last Victorian Pub Pianist in Britain” so he must be very old. He is appearing with The Dorset Rats and the evening comes with a warning that it is not for the faint hearted!

Also on Friday evening there is a ‘Barn Dance with a Difference’ in Tatenhill. The first difference from what I could see is that it’s not actually in a barn, but also it’s because ‘the tunes are English, but the rhythms are African and Asian’.

On Saturday, there is a choice of Winter Racing at Uttoxeter Racecourse and also Gresley Male Voice Choir are performing at Burton Town Hall. Their concert is featuring ‘The 3 Sopranos’ which I can assure you is very unusual for a male voice choir!

On Sunday, there is the Burton Town Centre Christmas Lights Switch On  with guests including Sir Trevor Brooking, Nigel Clough and ‘Posh and Becks’. As well as the switch-on there is entertainment throughout the day, a funfair and a Christmas Market.

Also on Sunday there is a Railfair at Burton Town Hall and a Bird Walk at Branston Water Park.

cineworld cinema highlights this week include ‘Quantum of Solace’, ‘High School Musical 3′, ‘Max Payne’ and the beautifully named ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’!

As usual, details of all the above can be found on the InBurton what’s on page.
