Another Evening with Howard Marks (aka Mr. Nice)
Saturday 19th May 2012
In a nutshell, during the mid 1980s, Howard Marks (aka Mr. Nice) had 43 aliases, 89 phone lines, and 25 companies trading throughout the world. Bars, recording studios, offshore banks: all were money-laundering vehicles serving the core activity: dope dealing. If you missed Howard here in July 2011, you missed a treat. His incredible tales of a past you couldn't even begin to imagine, were totally spell-binding and very funny to boot. Fear not, he returns to us to share even more fascinating and jaw-dropping stories of a master devious mind!

Les McKeown's Legendary Bay City Rollers
Friday 25th May 2012
The Rollers' first hit single Remember reached No. 6 in the UK charts in 1973; that was quickly followed by Shang-A-Lang, Summerlove Sensation and All Of Me Loves All Of You all hitting the Top 5. Bye Bye Baby was their first UK No. 1 in May 1975 followed by Give A Little Love in July. Their first album, Rollin', was the first debut album to top the charts. Between 1975 and 1978, they toured all over the world and played to sold out crowds in the across the world. Les McKeown put together a new band of talented musicians in the early 90s and today audiences are treated to all the old BCR hits reworked for the new millennium, alongside exciting new material. Roll back the years and hear them live, here at the Tivoli.

The Tivoli is located in the small town of Buckley in North East Wales. With a history as a theatre and cinema since the 1920's the venue has undergone a number of transformations since its beginnings.
The venue today stands as a 900 capacity live music venue with an intimate and underground atmosphere - as opposed to that of a modern and somewhat soulless concrete arena - and our focus is to bring the best bands from the past and new bands for the future to the region to play a music-loving area of the country that unfortunately seems to get overlooked by promoters of large tours.
During the 70's, 80's and 90's the venue had a tremendous run of bands through its doors and it was often cited as one of the best places to play on any tour. Indeed, stories from the people who worked here at the time have inspired us to once again achieve this goal after a fifteen year spell as a more mainstream nightclub. 2010 was a great leap in the right direction and the club is currently enjoying a bouyant resurgence on the live music scene.
The performance space at the Tivoli is highly versatile and production for a large number of events can be achieved through our hardworking team of in-house crew and staff. We can bring any event to life from just a simple idea and provide the facilities to make it happen.
With a smaller capacity room above the main stage which holds approximately 100 people, which can be used for a variety of functions from celebrations to presentations.
In addition, there is a kitchen area, along with three bars and a small VIP area upstairs. The venue has good links within the catering industry and can arrange for food service etc. as well as providing hot food for anyone at music events.
