Pets, Hugs and Rock N Roll - Noel Fitzpatrick

This will be an unforgettable evening where Noel will combine his passion for storytelling with his flair for music.  After three spoken-word tours of arenas and theatres across the UK in the past decade and after nineteen series of The Supervet TV show on Channel 4, Noel has now formed a band with immensely talented musicians who have played with bands from ELO to Take That, from The Darkness to Anthrax and even The Hans Zimmer Orchestra.   Brian May from the band Queen and Tony Iommi from the band Black Sabbath have been instrumental and hugely supportive in encouraging Noel to follow his dream as a musician.  Noel says, 'The story of how my journey in medicine and also my journey in music all came about is alone worth coming for, as it's a story of dreaming big and making impossible things happen. It's a story for anyone who has ever had a dream and anyone who has ever suffered setbacks - which is all of us.'    The Noel Fitzpatrick Band have been recording their first album at Peter Gabriel's studio, Real World, and will play some of their new songs, alongside classic rock covers from AC/DC to Bryan Adams, from Bon Jovi to The Cure.    Noel will weave stories from his life and times as a vet, both funny and factual, both uplifting and eyebrow-raising, amongst his favourite songs to mould a concert like no other you've ever seen.  Noel is determined to spread love, hope and joy through his music and his stories as he has been with his work as a professor and practicing clinician in neuro-orthopaedic surgery. There will be an opportunity for audience participation with 'ask me anything' and there will be something for everyone who loves hearing great stories about 'animals and their humans' alongside fantastic rock music.
