An exciting new stage show celebrating the music of the one and only legend that is Sir Tom Jones! 

Andy Wood, aka the fantastic Benidorm Tom, has been entertaining the masses over the last 35 years as his second to none impersonation to Sir Tom! From an appearance in 1993 on the hit TV series “Stars in Their Eyes,” Andy became involved in the newly emerging tribute scene and has become renowned for his vocal ability and showmanship, matched equally by his professionalism, establishing himself as one of the leading performers in the U.K. 

 His tribute work has taken him around the globe with contracts in America, South Africa, the Far East, Central Europe and Scandinavia with many TV appearances for ITV, Sky TV, Poppelganger and Mnet (South Africa). Andy is also a hit with many corporate clients. He has worked for Virgin, Granada Television, Cisco Systems, Pentax, Yale and many more. Sexbomb brings the legend that is Tom Jones to theatres, with Benidorm Tom ably accompanied by his fantastic band. 

 This show really is the only Tom Jones tribute you’ll ever need to see!

Exhibition: The Dutch Don’t Forget – The Cameronians in the British Liberation Army

 

Standing outside the entrance to Low Parks Museum is a simple, bronze memorial plaque on a polished granite plinth that bears the words “The Dutch Don’t Forget”. The plaque was presented to veterans of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, a Scottish, Territorial Army formation that played a vital part in the liberation of the Netherlands in the final stages of the Second World War. The message is simple, the Dutch will never forget the sacrifices made by the men of the 52nd (Lowland) Division in freeing them from Nazi oppression.

Two battalions of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) proudly fought in the Dutch campaign in the Second World War. The 6th Battalion, historically covering the county of Lanarkshire, and the 7th Battalion, drawn mainly from the south side of the city of Glasgow.

This commemorative exhibition highlights the part played by these two battalions, as part of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, in this pivotal stage of the Second World War.

Free entry, open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm.
