TWIN brothers Craig and Charlie Reid, better known as The Proclaimers, are set to get Bridport Electric Palace rocking on Saturday 13 June.

Tickets sold out for this gig almost as soon as they were put on sale a few months ago.

Electric Palace manager Susan Warren urged people to put their name on the venue’s mailing list via the website if they want to be among the first to know what’s on.

“We like to give people plenty of notice but some things come our way at the last minute and they’re just too good to miss,” she said.

You can also sign up to receive emails by recording your details on a list in the Electric Palace foyer.

The Proclaimers have, over the years, enjoyed huge successes across the globe and in April this year release their 10th album produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Steet Preachers, Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey) on the Cooking Vinyl label.

They have carved a niche for themselves where pop, folk, new wave and punk collide as the emotional honesty, political fire, wit and sing-along raucousness of their songs and their extensive touring has enlightened and entertained fans new and old. In the process they have enjoyed Gold and Platinum singles and albums in UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Following on from the theatre success of the musical drama featuring songs by The Proclaimers, Sunshine On Leith, the movie version was a hugely popular release in 2013, spending a month in the Top Ten generating over £4.8 million at the UK box office, the fifth highest grossing independent release of the year.
