The best medicine?

Chelmarsh Parish Hall is set to welcome a new kind of treatment for the winter blues, styled after old-fashioned medicine shows that rolled into town and captivated their audiences with a combination of music and far-fetched spectacle… with seemingly miraculous elixirs on the side.

Buffalo Gals recreates the frisson of excitement and frivolity that surrounded the medicine show, all wrapped around the authentic old-time music and dazzling percussive step-dance of the American country tradition. Tickets are priced at £7/12 and the show starts at 7.30pm on Saturday 3 February – call 01746 862104 or visit artsalive.co.uk for details.
