Dead Mans Uke invite you to join us for Volume 7 of the fantastic Yorkshire Dales Ukulele Weekender.
A gathering of cool folks for some cool music in a very cool place...
Your hosts are Dead Mans Uke an award winning two man band playing dirt swing, hokum and old blues tunes as well as crazy covers and anything else they fancy on double bass and a resonator ukulele that belonged to Tiny Tim... they play shows in bars, music venues, parties, festivals and theatres across the UK and recently in Prague, Dublin, Belfast, Austria, Paris, Bavaria, Poland, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Australia and even Saudi Arabia… but are really looking forward to playing the amazing Victoria Hall once again - it's one of our favourite places!!
Lineup…
John Archer
Tim Vine described John as 'one of the funniest men I know', Simon Cowell called him 'Amazing', David Walliams said 'you're a superstar'. He's one of the top comedy magicians in the world, was the first person to fool Penn & Teller on their show and has even won a BAFTA... He's also an old friend and we are so pleased he's going to join us for the Weekender, playing uke and hosting our Saturday evening show.
Warehouse of Thieves
Hailing from the North of England, Warehouse of Thieves is a dynamic 5 piece band. They blend progressive rock, contemporary folk, and indie sounds into their original music. Plus, get ready for some cool renditions of popular tunes. With harmonies, solos, and beats that'll have you moving, their live show is a must-see. They're not just great musicians – they know how to entertain and engage the crowd too.
Phil Doleman
Phil’s love of vintage blues, swing, and jug band music shines through as he blows the dust off obscure old songs and gives new life to classics. With just his big voice, stomping foot, and driving rhythms on both ukuleles and banjos he'll take you back to the juke joints of the 20s. His original songs blend in seamlessly, with many believing them to be old songs that had passed them by.
Big Buddy Holly
& The Croquettes
Part ‘Tribute’, part ‘Parody’, part-time.
From an alternate universe, we bring you Big Buddy Holly, The Hiccupping Hillbilly, Ukulele Sensation, with his loyal and crusty backing band, The Croquettes.
If you like your Rock ‘n’ Roll with a barnyard full of tongue in cheek and a trailer full of smiles, then put on your sneakers and get ready to Jive.

Most of our shows use ‘cabaret-style’ seating. This means that your seats will be unreserved, which allows you to decide where to sit when you arrive.
The stalls (downstairs) are set up informally, with chairs around small tables, for a sociable, relaxed atmosphere, and somewhere to put your drink. Cabaret seating also allows space for dancing, which is highly encouraged at Victoria Hall!
For those who prefer a more ‘traditional’ theatre experience, the balcony seats are laid out in rows and raked, ensuring all seats have an excellent view.
For parties of six or more, tables in the stalls can be reserved- contact us to reserve a table. If you have reserved a table, we ask that at least one of your party turn up at least 30 minutes before the performance start time, in order to secure your table.
We can always reserve seating or wheelchair spaces in the stalls for those unable to use the stairs- just let us know when you book your tickets.
Please note, online bookings are subject to a booking fee. Tickets can also be bought by phone on 01729 825718, or in person at our box office. Opening hours are 10am-2pm, Monday-Friday.
Show end times given are an estimate only. Doors open 45 minutes before show start times.
Settle Victoria Hall reserves the right to turn away any customers not adhering to social-distancing laws, government guidelines, and/ or venue safeguarding policies.
Tickets are non-refundable, except in the case that the event or date has been changed by Settle Victoria Hall.
