Marc Almond coming to the Villa Marina
About the Show
As part of Marc’s 30th Anniversary Tour, he will appear at the Royal Hall to perform on 30th November. As this tour of 24 UK dates celebrates his 30 years in music, Marc will be singing only hits and singles, and with the support of a nine-piece band including baby grand piano, this promises to be a very special evening. Marc Almond is quite simply a legendry singer and British icon and this show will span his entire career – showcasing the best of his three decades in the music business. A perfect end to the year and a must see concert for every fan.
The tour coincides with the release of his Best Of Album.

Little Annie Bandez
Little Annie is a singer, painter, and stage actor, perhaps most widely known for her vampish performance of the song Things Happen, with the band Coil. She has recorded extensively with vanguard figures of the twentieth century music such as rock musician Kid Congo Powers, dub stalwart Adrian Sherwood, punk/experimental band Crass, and experimental/electronica band Coil.
Little Annie currently performs in New York City, and has released solo albums since the 1980s. “Strange Love”, a song from her album 'Songs from the Coal Mine Canary' was used by Levi's in their 2007 'Dangerous Liaisons' campaign – the commercial won the Bronze Award at that year's Cannes for 'Best Use of Music In A Commercial'.
Little Annie has also previously performed on stage with Marc Almond, and supported him during 2007 on several appearances at Wliton's Music Hall, where she performed with pianist Paul Wallfisch. Annie and Wallfisch recorded the album 'When Good Things Happen To Bad Pianos', which includes her celebrated cover of U2's song ' I Still haven't Found What I'm Looking For' in 2008.
Baby Dee
Baby Dee is an American performance artist, harpist and accordionist, and Singer-songwriter from Cleveland, Ohio, and is best known in New York as the ill angelic Shirley Temple obsessed with high-riding cat that ruled the streets of lower Manhattan in the nineties. Her quest for adventure and a little fishies led her to become a bilateral hermaphrodite of The Coney Island Sideshow and The Kamikaze Freak Show in Europe.
Michael Musto calls her "an amazing accordion player" and "brilliant harpist" whilst Time Out calls her "night club sensation".
She previously worked with Marc Almond in 2007 and appears on his DVD Bluegate Fields. She has also toured with Current 93 as piano player and harpist, and has opened a few concerts for The Dresden Dolls. Baby Dee has been signed to TinAngelRecords and released her new album "book of songs" March 2010.
