Entertainment

The variety of entertainment that has graced the June Ball stage through out the years at University College is vast. From Durham based bands, such as the Invitations and Heartbreak Harry and the Charmers, to external musical guests, such as Gemma Cairney, Pyramids and 4 poofs and a piano, there is something for everyone. And it is not just music that June Ball has to offer. Dancers of all varieties, acrobats, Comedy groups, such as the Durham Revue, orchestras  and more have all been entertaining parts of this luxurious evening. 

Announcing:

 

Noisettes

With a career that has stretched over seven years, a string of hits already under their belt and a fashion following that could rival Grace Jones, this band are guaranteed to go down a storm. We all remember their well-known smash hit, ‘Don’t Upset The Rhythm‘ which stormed into the No. 2 spot in the UK charts and ‘Never Forget You’ which has sealed itself as a firm family favourite sing-a-long. The band formed in 2003 when guitarist Smith and singer Shoniwa were attending the BRIT School. Noisettes have toured Europe and the United States extensively, with the likes of TV on the Radio, Tom Vek, Babyshambles, Bloc Party, the Mystery Jets, Muse and Lady Gaga. Never fond of a formula, the duo always intended on a radical musical evolution from both ‘Wild Young Hearts’, and their debut, ‘What’s The Time Mr Wolf?’, an album that spawned five singles and took them on tour for over a year, sharing arena stages with Muse and criss-crossing the States with TV On The Radio and Bloc Party.

4 Poofs and a Piano

Camp, irreverent, self-deprecating, high octane, naughty but fun all-round entertainment with original comedy songs, pop standards, dance, physical comedy and light-hearted banter. This new line-up of the fab four, with the legendary Bobby Crush on piano, the fabulous if somewhat jaded Graeme Clark and the gorgeous and talented Ian Lilley joining original member Big Dave Wickenden, will have everyone from students to the blue rinse brigade reaching for their Tena Ladies!
