🎶 eXTC 'This Is Pop' Greatest Hits Tour 2026 - Esquires, Bedford


Time: 19:00

🎶 XTC's legendary drummer, Terry Chambers, is back on the road with his band EXTC (named and approved by XTC frontman, Andy Partridge).

Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s, XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. Sadly, their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring, becoming a studio-based entity.

EXTC were formed in 2019 by XTC's drummer Terry Chambers, performing classic XTC material such as Making Plans For Nigel, Senses Working Overtime, Mayor of Simpleton, Generals and Majors, Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me), Love on a Farmboy's Wages and many more.

An AGMP Concerts presentation.

ℹ️ ABOUT
Don't miss this incredible opportunity to hear the music of XTC played live by the man who helped create their unique sound. Whether you were there during the new-wave explosion or discovered their studio mastery later, this is a night for true music fans in Bedfordshire.

👻 Ghost Hunt - The Cromwell Hotel, Stevenage


Time: 19:30 Price: £45.00

👻 Join Ghostly Gatherings for a spine-tingling evening of paranormal investigation at one of Stevenage's most historic locations. Are you brave enough to step into the shadows?

🗓 Date: Saturday, 7th March 2026
🕢 Time: 7:30 PM start

📖 HISTORY
Once a humble farmhouse, this building was owned by John Thurloe, secretary to Oliver Cromwell. A foundation stone, dated 1667, still rests in the fireplace of Cromwell’s Bar, though much of the building’s history remains cloaked in shadows and unanswered questions.

👻 PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
For centuries, whispers of the unexplained have clung to these walls. Guests and staff have reported objects moving on their own, lights flickering in the dead of night, televisions switching themselves on, and hangers rattling as if unseen hands roam the wardrobes. Chilling drops in temperature are frequently felt even near the roaring fires.

⭐️ EVENT DETAILS
Prepare yourself for a night of investigation using professional ghost hunting equipment.

🎟 TICKETS COST: £45
