Grand Theatre Goes Snooker Loopy

Snooker legends Steve Davis OBE and Dennis Taylor team up once again for A Load of Balls and a Snooker Cue at Blackpool's Grand Theatre on Sunday 20th July - an entertaining evening of sporting anecdotes and a look back at their incredible careers.

Steve (Interesting) Davis has won more professional titles in snooker than any other player - including six World and four UK Championships during the 1980s. He is still ranked number 15 in the world and had been named one of the three best snooker players of all time.

Dennis Taylor is best known for his infectious sense of humour and his trademark over-sized glasses. His most unforgettable sporting achievement was winning the 1985 World Championship, beating the then seemingly invincible Steve Davis on the final black in what is considered to be one of the sport's greatest finals. He also memorably appeared on Chas & Dave's novelty single Snooker Loopy.

A Load of Balls and a Snooker Cue promises to be fun and inspirational to all young and old fans of the sport.

Book now and enjoy the reminiscences surrounding that nail-biting final in 1985, the story behind those famous glasses and hear what Steve and Dennis both see for their future, and the future of their beloved sport.

Proceeds from this entertaining and educational evening will go to the North West Air Ambulance saving lives across the region. -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
