Tony Stockwell - Psychic Medium at Leighton Buzzard Library Theatre


Time: 19:30

🔮 The popular star of TV’s Street Psychic, Psychic Private Eyes and Psychic Academy, Tony Stockwell has a long-established credibility as one of the top Intuitive Mediums. 

▪️Doors Open:
18:45
▪️Show Starts:
19:30

✨️ ABOUT:

Remarkably compelling, amazingly detailed, and always humorous, Tony demonstrates his belief that those who have passed can communicate with their loved ones with detailed messages frequently including names, dates, and locations and all delivered with emotion, sensitivity, and empathy. The evening may include psychometry, photograph readings and psychic prediction.

Recent legislative guidelines insist that any Evening of Mediumship should be billed ‘for entertainment purposes’. Tony certainly uses his natural wit, showmanship, and Cockney charisma to entertain but more important, Mediumship has the potential to change someone’s life and instil in them a sense of peace, comfort, and purpose.

We hope that nobody can fail to come away untouched by the experience.

🎤 Gruff Rhys at Esquires, Bedford - June 2025


Time: 19:30

🎤 Gruff Rhys, the enigmatic Welsh musician, is best known as the frontman and main songwriter of Super Furry Animals, one of the most inventive British bands of the 1990s and 2000s. Famed for blending psychedelia, indie rock, and electronic experimentation, Rhys has also built a rich solo career, releasing acclaimed albums like Candylion and Babelsberg.

AGE:
14+ only. 14s to 15s must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds will be given for incorrectly booked tickets.

ℹ️ ABOUT
His musical ventures extend to concept-driven projects, including American Interior, a multimedia exploration of Welsh explorer John Evans. Rhys has collaborated with Gorillaz, Danger Mouse, and Mogwai, cementing his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist. His storytelling, humor, and eclecticism make him a singular voice in modern music.

His 8th solo album "Sadness sets me free" was released last year and is an intergalactic masterpiece. "I still feel I need to do something original", says Gruff Rhys as he ponders his ongoing motivation for making music. "I’m working with quite a limited palette in a way and just looking for ways to make unique music. I still feel there are things I need to try out. I still feel in the moment and I’m still obsessed with music.”

Don't miss the chance to witness the magic of Gruff in the intimate space of Esquires.
