Neil-large

Neil Innes

Best known for his collaborative work with Monty Python, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and The Rutles Neil has done it all while his shows for BBC2 'The Innes Book of Records' have become cult classics.

He brings his unique brand of musical brilliance to this solo show - wry, poignant and humorous.

It is spiced with anecdotes of Neil's life and times in the worlds of media and showbusiness. Hard to describe - it has to be experienced!

Catch Neil at The Belhaven Best Spiegeltent from 8:30 pm - 10:30 pm.
