1. Heather Findlay
It is enormously pleasing to be welcoming Heather Findlay to The Lantern! Heather burst upon the musical scene in 1997 with Mostly Autumn, staying with them for 13 years, as well as having side projects such as Odin Dragonfly. A solo artist since 2010, she has continued to experiment with different band formats, including recent work with The Bee Tellers.

2. Joe Kent-Walters is FRANKIE MONROE: LIVE!!!
Here he is! Yorkshire’s biggest bastard. Join owner and MC of The Misty Moon (working men's club in Rotherham/portal to hell) for a slap-up feast of laughs, tricks and mucky bitter. Can Frankie save showbiz? Can he protect his club from demonic ruin?? Can you touch his special trowel??? (NO WAY!).

3. Del Scott Miller
Del Scott Miller has been part of the Barnsley and Sheffield music scene for a couple of decades, and yet somehow he's never played at The Lantern. This oversight will now be corrected! Across his work in bands such as Mynas, many collaboration projects, and solo work, Del has demonstrated a focus in his songwriting, a depth in his lyric, and a heart in his playing that stands alongside the best this nation has produced. He brings songs of family, of work class struggle, of life on the street and down the pit, speaking from the past to the present and looking to the future.

7. Noughts & Crosses
Step into a world where the rules of society are flipped on their head and everything you thought you knew is challenged. Noughts and Crosses, adapted for the stage by Dominic Cooke, takes Malorie Blackman’s renowned novel and turns it into a gripping play that explores racism, privilege, and a love that defies the boundaries of society.

8. Witness For The Prosecution
Witness for the Prosecution, Agatha Christie's gripping courtroom drama, is a unique blend of legal thriller and psychological suspense. It tells the story of Leonard Vole, who is accused of murdering a wealthy widow. The evidence against him seems overwhelming, and the stakes couldn't be higher. With his life hanging in the balance, Vole's only hope lies with his defence barrister, but even the most seasoned lawyer is caught off-guard by the shocking twists the trial unveils.
