> BRIAN BLESSED - LIVE!

Salisbury City Hall, Salisbury
28th March 2018

Brian Blessed - the advertising for this event stated "an evening with this man is not for the faint hearted"... this could not have been further from the truth. We enjoyed the company of a big hearted man who loves his planet, it's animals and the human race!

Larger Than Life? British actor Brian Blessed is known for his hearty, king-sized portrayals on film and television. He is a giant of a man accompanied by an eloquent wit and booming, operatic voice.

An evening with Brian Blessed is an experience that nobody should miss. His eloquence and humour will have the audience captured from the moment he walked on stage until the moment he finished he final encore.

 

Brian talked about his career on stage and screen including anecdotes from Flash Gordon, Black Adder, I Claudius and Z Cars and his many appearances in Shakespearean Productions. He is also an avid climber and has conquered Everest and Kilimanjaro amongst others. It was great to hear about his adventures! Brian is also a massive supporter of animal welfare... It warmed our hearts to hear that all profits from live shows and books go towards keeping his home based shelter alive and kicking.

   

After the show, we had an opportunity to meet with the great man himself. He was gentle, warm and simply lovely... a great human being!

The day after the show we had a quick walk around Salisbury in the rain. Luckily, the recent bit of Russian scandal hadn't managed to completely shut down the City! We enjoyed exploring the beautiful Salisbury Museum.  During our time in this fabulous City, we stayed at the Cathedral View B&B, just off the main Cathedral square, this Edwardian terrace oozed charm and history.
