The “ultimate tribute to KISS” is heading to Grimsby this weekend. Dressed To Kill will perform at The Old Clee Social Club on Saturday (February 22) as part of their 35th anniversary tour. They are the world’s longest-running tribute to the American rock band and have been playing clubs and theatres around the UK and other parts of the world since 1990. They replicate “with scary accuracy the look and sound of a KISS show, right down to between-song chatter”. Expect a set packed with hits and classics along with “bloodspitting, firebreathing and special effects”. Dressed To Kill have been engaged on numerous occasions by KISS themselves to promote CD and DVD releases, such is their closeness to the real thing. The group will perform at The Old Clee Social Club from 8pm on Saturday. For tickets, contact Julie on 07300 830894 or email jonesjulie949@gmail.com

A special exhibition featuring a selection of creepy photographs that bring about a sense of unease has launched in Grimsby. Situated at the Turntable Gallery on Wharncliffe Road, Grimsby Docks, the ‘unloud’ photography exhibition launched on Saturday, February 15 and will run until Saturday, March 15. The unique exhibition brings together three displays of works taken by internationally recognised photographers, including Ashley Gallant, who has had his work exhibited in as far afield as Tokyo, and Charles Fox, who splits his time between the UK and South East Asia. Speaking to Grimsby Live, co-owner of the Turntable Gallery, Dale Wells, said: “Ashley has put this whole show together as a response of the space which he sees as a bit of a hinterland. There’s three elements to the show – Ashley’s work in our first chamber, Charles’ work in our third chamber and then there’s a group show in our second chamber. “There’s a weirdness to it, and that’s what Ashley is trying to get across in the photographs he’s chosen – they’re all slightly unnerving. The pristine photographs against these really gritty, steel chambers just works.” Darren Neave and Dale Wells outside the gallery (Image: GrimsbyLive/Donna Clifford) Having first opened on Victoria Street in early 2022, the gallery opened a second premises on Grimsby Docks in September 2023, with the original gallery in the town centre closing last year. When asked what the Turntable Gallery has in the pipeline this year, Dale said: “We’re in a position to commission work at the moment and we have a show with a very well-known artist in the Brit Art movement, Tim Noble, coming up. We’ve had work that he’s making work specifically for Grimsby, which is brilliant news. Keep up to date with all the latest breaking news and top stories from Grimsby with our free newsletter “We also have a research-based show by Darren Neave [co-owner], which will be fun. We’re solely on Grimsby Docks for now, but we do get a lot of people coming up to the Docks to see the shows, which is lovely. We’re hoping to develop the Turntable brand into something that’s nurturing with workshops for people to come to.” The Turntable Gallery is open from 11am to 4pm, Thursday to Saturday, or by appointment.
