2. Watch The Ocelots perform live 

The Ocelots, a project created by twins Ashley and Brandon Watson, will be bringing their “delicious harmonies and stunning storytelling” to the theatre in April.

The twins were originally based in Wexford, Ireland, but they now reside in Leipzig, Germany.

The Ocelots were formerly a school band, playing blues standards and alternative rock during lunchtime.

Ashley and Brandon then started writing their own music, pursuing the direction of Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel’s folk sensibilities.

In 2017, they released their first EP, Till We Get There, which hit 1.7 million online steams. Their debut album, Started to Wonder, was released in March 2020

The Ocelots are coming to Taunton on April 21 and 7.45pm. Click here for more information and to buy tickets.

For fans of comedy

Comedian Danny Baker is bringing his At Last... The Sausage Sandwich Tour to the Brewhouse Theatre on April 21 at 7.30pm.

"The last ever instalment in this gleeful raucous eruption, chock full of true-life tales and show business revelation!"

2. Take in Sherlock's Excellent Adventures

Audiences can follow Sherlock Holmes and his incomparable sidekick Dr John Watson in this riveting and, until now, unpublished case.
