SUMMARY:Susan Harrison: Should I Still Be Doing This?
DESCRIPTION:Following a smash hit Edinburgh Fringe run\, award-winning character comedian Susan Harrison brings her latest collection of joyfully bizarre alter-egos to her home town of Faversham. Come to this special preview date before she heads to Soho Theatre! Is it ok to still be dressing up as weird characters as you get older? Susan might not be sure\, but a life size Sindy doll\, a panda from Chester Zoo in the 90’s and a woman who’s swallowed a small girl in a well will have plenty to say about it. Some others might turn up too. \n“A gloriously absurd\, laugh-out-loud show… as inventive as it is deliriously funny **** The List.\n‘Original\, joyful… unadulterated fun’ **** Broadway Baby\n‘Unique and hilarious’ **** Midlothian View\n‘A brilliant showcase of modern character comedy… I could’ve watched her for hours’ **** Lisa In The Theatre\n“First class coming acting” (The Guardian)\n\nAs seen/heard in: Showstopper! The Improvised Musical\, BBC Radio 4\, The Comedy Store Players\, Mischief Movie Night\, Paul Merton and Suki Webster’s Improv show.

SUMMARY:The Fureys | The Abbey School
DESCRIPTION:Important Notice: Fire at the Alexander Centre\nOn New Year’s Eve\, a fire occurred at the rear of our Gatefield Hall\, The Alex’s main events space. Thankfully\, no one was in the venue and there were no injuries. This event has been relocated from St Mary’s Church to The Abbey School\, London Rd\, Faversham ME13 8RZ due to unforeseen circumstances. \nWe will be\, or may already have been\, in touch with all current ticket holders directly. If you have any questions\, please get in contact via email at bookings@thealex.org.uk or by phone on 01795 591691. \nTo read more about the fire and its effects please click HERE \n\nAfter several previous concerts in the Kent area\, THE FUREYS will play their last ever Kent concert here in  Faversham\, as part of their FAREWELL TOUR on Saturday 25th April 2026. \nLegends of Irish music & song\, The FUREYS renowned for their hit songs ‘I will love you’\, ‘When you were sweet 16’\, ‘The Green fields of France’\, ‘The old man’\, ‘Red rose café’\, ‘From Clare to here’\, ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’\, ‘Leaving Nancy’\, ‘Steal away’ etc take to our stage for the final time as part of their FAREWELL TOUR. \nThe oldest of the brothers\, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty. \nIn 1972\, Gerry Rafferty wrote ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’ for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter\, the late John Peel made it his single of the year. \nThey are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as I Will Love You and When You Were Sweet Sixteen\, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981. \nEddie Furey recalls how “many musicians have told us we influenced them after hearing a record from their parents or grandparents’ collection”. Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar while still a teenager. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during Dave’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey. \nTheir emotive songs stir many emotions\, tears and laughter\, sadness and joy.
