Celebrating the life of an iconic showman, Ben and the Taking Care of Elvis Band will take you on a trip down memory lane with many of Elvis’ most loved songs from all eras including the 1950s, the iconic ’68 Comeback Special, and Ben’s personal favourite, the 1970s Vegas concerts.

With his looks, charm and charisma, Ben is recognised as the world’s leading Elvis tribute artist – he continues to amaze audiences with his stage presence, with fans globally claiming, ‘this is the closest you will ever get to the King!’.

🎶 Utter! Lutonia - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 20:00 - 23:00

🎶 The Lyrical, the Satirical and the Necessary. Spoken word, potery & music.

🤩 WHAT TO EXPECT
Luton's spoken-word scene owes a lot to the things Paul Rafferty did in the 90s . . . now he's coming back to share some of the things he's done since.  Luton's arts-scene now owes a reasonable amount to Rae Leaver-Rahman and we are delighted to have her on the bill too.  Local musician and artist Gary Abram debuts new material and Mark Billington brings his unique point of view and so does Britny Virginia. 

Finally, a poet Luton forged and formed (and fresh from almost winning the Forward Prize in 2019 with Truth Street) David Cain shares his new collection with the Luton cognoscenti.

Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company as they put on a frantic disposition to tackle Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy in their own anarchic style.

With live music, audience interaction, brevity-boosting abridgements, comic turns and tragic twists there’s only one question: To be there, or to be square?
