 Be aware of your surroundings, personal belongings and valuables at all times.
 Keep an eye on your drinks. Don't let strangers watch your drink.
 Travel safely and make sure to let friends know your plans. Arrange for a designated driver or take a cab.
 Stay in well-lit, well-travelled areas.
 Be aware of your actions - if they are likely to cause alarm or distress to any person then you are more than likely committing an offence.
 Do not engage with people being abusive and threatening and report them to the police.

Young Talented Entertainer Tom McLeod is added to main Stage line up.

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 22:00:00 GMT

Tom is a young, vibrantly talented, vocal entertainer. His confidence and experience enable him to adapt his extensive repertoire to suit any event or occasion. His name is fast becoming widely known throughout the country, and although Tom is widely recognised for his smooth renditions of swing, big band and soulful ballads, he is equally at home performing rock, pop, disco and hits from musicals - old and new.
His latest string to his bow, 'Tom McLeod as Baby Buble' The Michael Buble Tribute. Tom is getting very popular with this at the moment and is spreading his wings wide.
As trained dancer, Tom is a born entertainer and often spotted in musical theatre and on TV as an extra. Totally refreshing to watch, this energetic breath of fresh air will captivate any audience.
Watch out!! Coming your way.

After his fantastic performance at the Pride Ball held in the Imperial Hotel on Sunday 5th June it was decided that he deserved a place on the main stage this year at Pride. Blackpool pride is not just about the headliner acts but very much a Blackpool spirited event so along with Johnny Wright from Frixion, they are putting Blackpool firmly on the map of top class entertainment. Tom can be seen with all the other top headliner acts on main stage in the Theatre on North Pier on Saturday at 4.45pm.
