About this event

Carlton Kirby's True Tales of the Tour de France is on Wednesday 20 January 2027 at Arts Centre, St Andrew's Church, Kettering, with doors at 18:45. Tickets start at £19.80, including the booking fee.

Kettering Arts Centre & Radio Days Events Presents: As the UK prepares to welcome the 2027 Tour de France, Carlton Kirby, the Voice of Cycling, shares inside stories and frank opinions from his 25 years’ covering the race. In a funny and revealing evening for all cycling fans, Carlton will reflect on his front-row experiences from the Tour and other big races – plus the lessons he’s learned from life on the road, as a bon viveur in budget hotels across Europe. Carlton is maybe the last in the line of the great character commentators – cycling’s answer to cricket’s Henry Blofeld, F1’s Murray Walker or darts’ Sid Waddell. He has been in the commentary box for a golden age of British cycling and the evening will also include stories of his not-always-happy dealings with stars including Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and his own gantry partner-in-crime Sean Kelly. This is a chance to see one of TV’s most entertaining commentators and raconteurs in an intimate local venue. Carlton will be in conversation with former Procycling magazine writer Duncan Steer, who hosted our sell-out night with ITV Tour commentator Matt Rendell last January. https://radiodaysevents.com 14...

ROB HALLIGAN: HOW DID WE GET HERE? An Itinerant's Musical

Arts Centre, St Andrew's Church · Kettering

"This is a true story - at least as best as I can remember it... My name is Rob Halligan. I’m a singer songwriter, an itinerant, a minstrel, a troubadour - and a mess. But somehow, I’m still here. I started out with a dream and as I got older that dream became a plan and as those plans were scuppered again and again, I went back to dreaming and hoping because hope, I’ve been told, doesn’t disappoint us.” Everyone has a story to tell and every one of those stories has a headline but it’s often only the sensational headlines that catch our attention. Look past the headlines - we all carry a story, and in those stories lie the familiar echo of our shared human journey - the moments of joy, the sting of loss, the screams of doubt, and the tender ache of longing. This is a story that smashes a hole through the headlines and shows that in each of us there pulses the same vulnerable, resilient heart, striving to make sense of this intricate world. In 2001, Rob Halligan lost his father in the 9/11 terror attacks. A week later he found himself in New York City on the start of a journey, trying to make sense of what he’d seen. From a dysfunctional childhood and life on the stre...
