8 September 2005		GRAND NEW SEASON OPENING
ALL TICKETS SOLD!	*£8.00*	with VIN GARBUTT Vin is back! In more ways than one - after a health scare earlier this year, we are happy to report that it is 'business as usual' with Vin! So... get your tickets early to avoid disappointment! Visit his website!!
		Well, we heard all about Vin's brushes with death in the irreverently humorous way that only Vin can recount! A packed house heard all about the keyhole surgery and other gory details! Oh, and he did fit in an occasional song, too...!
