Next Show: The Forum Theatre, Romiley
Mama to perform their 2018 tour show at The Forum Theatre, Saturday 24th February 2018!
Four days to go to our next show and tickets are selling fast! If you want one (or indeed several), be sure to grab them now. You can buy tickets to our Forum Theatre show by visiting the theatres online box office.
We also have some other upcoming shows we’d like to highlight:
Saturday 10th March 2018 – The Floral Pavilion, New Brighton (tickets on sale now)
Saturday 12th May 2018 – Playhouse 2, Shaw (tickets go on sale six weeks prior to the show)
In other news, we were contacted by Jason Ritchie who told us about a great idea he’d had… Fifty Gigs in a Day took place on the 8th February this year and featured, like the title suggests, fifty different shows around the country raising awareness for Nordoff Robbins, the largest independent music therapy charity in the UK. Nordoff Robbins is dedicated to changing the lives of vulnerable and isolated people. It helps children with autism to communicate, reduces anxiety for those with dementia and provides comfort for those facing life threatening illnesses. If you’d like to find out more about the charity, please visit their website: www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk
Here at Mama HQ, we thought this was a great idea. However, we made a big mistake because we didn’t manage to post this news in time for the actual shows (really sorry Jason). The magical properties of music are all too often forgotten, so it’s great to see people getting actively involved in live music and entertainment and raising awareness and money to their chosen charity. If you’d like to help Jason, have a look at his Just Giving page here:Β www.justgiving.com
That’s all for now. We hope to see some of you at The Forum Theatre in Romiley this weekend, for what will surely be a great Genesis party. Do come and say hello if you’re there. The band will no doubt be wandering around chatting to friends and generally propping up the bar.Β π

Do you ever play in the USA

Hi Dennis. We’ve never played in the USA, but that’s not for lack of trying. We need to find a local promoter who can sell the show for us. We can’t do that from 2,000+ miles away unfortunately. It’s just too costly.

Hi Sue. We didn’t seem to do too well at The Slade Rooms, last time we were there. We are looking for another venue in the Birmingham area though. Suggestions welcome. π

Thatβs a shame, I saw you in October 2016 in Solihull and it was a fantastic show which was well supported. Can you please return there?
Mama

We’ve got a show booked into Solihull, in October. π

Saw you a few years ago around the skipton area. The local advertising must have been poor as the turnout did you no justice at all. The show was still awesome though and my wife and I were blown away. Do you have any plans near Hull at all?
Mama

Hi Chris. No plans for Hull I’m afraid. But if you have any venue suggestions, we can certainly look into them. we’re looking for arts centre style venues mostly. Maybe small theatres too.

Hi Mike. Glad you enjoyed the show. Also, thanks for your feedback on our promotion efforts. We try very hard to promote our shows, but finding methods we can afford is very hard. One advert in a newspaper or magazine costs hundreds of pounds. That’s a single advert. Then there’s hundreds, if not thousands of magazine articles to choose from.
If you’ve not already, sign up to our email newsletter and that way we can email you show details, so you’ll never miss one. π
