This year the musicians are celebrating the classic Led Zeppelin II album.

The first set of the show will consist of the whole album, featuring such great tunes as ‘Whole Lotta Love’ and ‘Ramble On’, as well as lesser known songs like ‘Living Loving Maid’ and the ‘Lemon Song’.

The second set will be packed with all the classics and showstoppers such as ‘Stairway to Heaven’, ‘Rock and Roll’ and much more. CODA recently performed three very special concerts celebrating 50 years of Led Zeppelin to great critical acclaim, including one at the very first venue Led Zeppelin ever played, exactly 50 years to the day.

Doors open at 7pm and tickets cost £19.50-£20.50. Call 01424 462288.

Sandi Toksvig is currently touring her new one-woman comedy show, which comes to the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, on Sunday, January 19 (8pm, £26.50, £28.50).

A spokesperson said: “Sandi realises some people harbour an ambition to be a National Treasure but following a misunderstanding with a friend she has decided instead to become a National Trevor – half misprint, half Danish comedian, novelist, actor and broadcaster.

“Expect tall stories, fascinatingly funny facts, really silly jokes, a quick fire Q&A and a quiz. Don’t expect tap-dancing, leotards or a forward roll.”

Call 01424 229111.
