Newark’s own Freddie Mercury, Joseph Lee Jackson, reprises his role in the Queen tribute band Mercury at the Palace Theatre, Mansfield, on Friday, April 8, at 7.30pm.

Having been on the road for over a decade, he still enjoys taking on the persona of the late singer and belting out hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, I Want To Break Free and Radio Ga Ga.

Wearing replicas of the flamboyant frontman’s clothes, he is backed by a bunch of talented musicians from Mansfield.

The band was asked to perform at the unveiling in Feltham of the first memorial to Freddie Mercury in the UK in front of Queen’s Brian May and Freddie’s family.

One of Britain’s longest running tributes to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr takes to the stage on Sunday, April 10, at 7.30pm. The Rat Pack Is Back features BBC weatherman Des Coleman as Sammy, David Alacey as Frank and Andrea Morrelli as Dean.
