In the spring of 1995 top comedy duo Cannon and Ball launched a national tour with a difference. Mixing the very best of family entertainment with their stories of how their newly-found Christian faith has changed them, Tommy and Bobby completed a punishing 27-date tour to capacity audiences throughout the UK. Tommy and Bobby’s special guests include the top club act Perfect Match with the showstopping numbers ‘Via Dolla Rosa’ and ‘Your Love’. TV escapologist Steve Legg keeps audiences spellbound as he attempts to beat Houdini’s world record for the fastest straightjacket escape, and vocalist Danny Owen renders his stunning versions of ‘The Power of Love’ and ‘Till You Came into My Life’.

The superb sound of The Mike Ryal Band backs the whole event.
