Gerry Anderson in Concert
Stand By For Action! 2: Tunes of Danger is the follow-up to 2022’s Stand By For Action concert, and promises to be a wonderful celebratory evening of music from the worlds of Gerry Anderson. The concert will take you on an immersive musical journey across Gerry’s exciting science-fiction worlds. A live orchestra accompanied by several talented singers will be performing the much-loved soundtracks from the likes of Stingray, Thunderbirds, Space: 1999, and beyond.
Hosted by Jon Culshaw, the concert in particular celebrates the forthcoming 60th anniversary of Stingray with a special performance of Deadly Concerto.
