Lose your soul to rock ‘n’ roll

Oct 2 2009 by Sara Bain, Dumfries Standard Friday

A SHOW like no other, Vampires Rock has a twist of rock, a hint of musical theatre, is jam-packed with the greatest anthems and is coming to Carlisle on Friday, October 23.

Following on from the phenomenal success of the 2008 tour, Toyah Willcox joins the cast of Vampires Rock for this year.

Toyah stars as the Devil Queen, the long-suffering wife of Baron Von Rockula, played by Steve Steinman.

Set in New York in the year 2030, the undead are livelier than ever, especially in club Live and Let Die, where the baron and his queen reside.

The baron is on the look out for a new bride but not if the devil Queen has anything to do with it!

Over her dead body!

The new bride in question is innocent aspiring singer, Pandora, who stumbles across the club in need of a job.

Cue a host of classic rock played live by the Baron’s hand picked band, The Lost Boys, and a hint of comedy, as the Baron and his sidekick, Stringfellow, attempt to convince Pandora to lose her soul to rock and roll.

The show begins at 7.30pm.
