Looking through the rest of the programme is pretty exciting. For comedy fans, there's an appearance from Joe Thomas. Yes, the Joe Thomas from the massive TV hit The Inbetweeners. Seeing him live is a fantastic opportunity. And the music doesn't stop with country classics. The venue is hosting a whole series of tribute nights dedicated to some of the biggest greats in music history.
