The Modfather and Gallagher brothers in the shape of Definitely Maybe and Changing Man arrived at the Town Hall on Friday night for a night of classic Oasis and Jam tunes.
Definately Maybe are the UK’s longest established Oasis tribute act and you can see why their are hugely admired and very successful. Lead singer Ian bears an uncanny resemblance to Liam and has the knack of sounding like him too. Paul Mitchell takes up the reigns as Noel and mimics the riffs and lead breaks with such precision you’d think you were listening to the CD. Playing a selection of hits from all the Oasis albums they went down a treat with the crowd.
Changing Man are the ultimate Weller tribute mimicking the live set up with an attention to detail that is second to none. Playing classic Jam hits mixed with classic Weller solo material and excellent set of music.

Students, staff and visitors at a Sutton school will have access to potentially life-saving equipment after new defibrillators were installed across the site, thanks to generous donations. The Arthur Terry School, which only had one defibrillator on its large site at Kittoe Road, now has three thanks to support from teacher recruitment agency Zest Education and the school’s Parents Association. The Lichfield-based agency decided to step in and fund a defibrillator and cabinet after seeing the plight of Swedish footballer Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at the Euro 2020 championships, before being revived by one of the devices. Zest’s Partnership Director Brad Johnson said: “We have had an excellent relationship with the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership for many years now, providing teaching and support staff across their network of primary and secondary schools, and helping their students with interview techniques, CV writing and fundraising events. “So, when we were asked for help with the purchase of either a defibrillator or defibrillator storage cabinet for the Arthur Terry School, it was an easy decision to make. Zest bought and supplied both a defibrillator and the cabinet within days of being approached. “We all hope that equipment such as this is never needed, however, as we witnessed with the case of Christian Eriksen, which highlighted just how critical a defibrillator can be. Without this level of specialist intervention at that very moment, medical officials are all in agreement that he would never have survived, much less, go on to make an unlikely return to topflight football. “Having this new addition at the Arthur Terry School, will hopefully give peace of mind to staff, students and parents, and reassure them that they now have further means to reduce or prevent serious incidents on site.” Headteacher Samantha Kibble said: “We are so grateful to Zest Education and our wonderful Parents Association for funding these new defibrillators. “Our school covers a very large site, so having three of these life-saving devices in strategic locations will maximise their coverage, and ensure that there’s always a defibrillator available when needed. “All First Aiders on site know how to operate the defibs, however anyone in school would be able to use them as they are fully automated.”
Although the store has been open for a few days now, today was the official opening of the brand new United Carpets store in Mere Green specialising beds and flooring including carpets, rugs, vinyl and wood.
The opening was attended by many local businesss and local councillor Mrs Jackie Cummings and MP Andrew Mitchell who officially cut the ribbon and welcomed the store to Mere Green which was now officially on the up after many years in the doldrums.
The Counterfeit Sixties ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The sixties returned to Sutton Town Hall last night in the shape of “The Counterfeit Sixties Show” there was nothing counterfeit about this show, taking the audience back to those fabulous swinging sixties bringing alive everything from that period including flashbacks from TV history, shows adverts and clips from the original bands.
We were treated to some of the best music from the era by bands such as The Beatles, The Who, The Dave Clark Five, The Kinks, Amen Corner and many more including a medley of one hit wonders.
