3 hours ago
Su Pollard and Aled Jones, two showbiz icons with a combined 90 years in the industry, are bringing their “An Evening With” shows to New Brighton’s Floral Pavilion Theatre in 2025.
Audiences at Floral Pavilion can look forward to intimate evenings filled with stories from their illustrious careers and performances of their most beloved songs.
Actress Su Polland embarked on her ‘Still Fully Charged’ tour in September 2024 in celebration of her 50 years in the public eye. The live-wire, larger-than-life personality lands at the Floral on 23 March 2025.
Su has delighted audiences since starting from humble beginnings on TV’s Opportunity Knocks, where she came second to a singing dog, through her years as Maplin’s chalet maid Peggy in the hit BBC series Hi-de-Hi!, to her West End and national touring roles in Godspell, Annie, and Little Shop of Horrors.
More recently she has made scene-stealing TV appearances on Celebrity Masterchef, Would I Lie To You? and Richard Osman’s House of Games.
Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged will bring a national treasure face-to-face with an adoring public to celebrate the amazing characters she has been fortunate enough to play, the incredible friends and colleagues she met along the way, and the staggering range of music she has performed and recorded throughout her illustrious career.
Still sporting youthful good looks, Aled Jones has enjoyed an amazing 40 year singing, acting and presenting career.
Those lucky enough to have a ticket for his one-man ‘An Evening with Aled Jones’ show at the Floral Pavilion on 4th April 2025 will get the chance to hear Aled as they’ve never heard him before.
The Welshman has come a long way since 1985 when he was the boy treble who captivated the world with his angelic voice. Selling over seven million albums, Aled was the original, classical crossover star. His recording of Walking in the Air, from the animated film The Snowman, firmly established him as a household name and he has become an integral part of the nation’s festivities.
Equally at home on the classical stage, or starring in musical theatre productions in London West End, his credits include lead roles in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. As a singer, Aled is in demand globally and has performed in the world’s most iconic venues, from London’s Royal Albert Hall to the Sydney Opera House.
Now, after 40 years in the business, he’s looking back on a remarkable career with a one-man show, that will feature never-before-heard music, tales from the decades and for the first time, his story told in his own words.
