What you need to know

Computer World Synthpop Club is proud and excited to welcome BLANCMANGE to The Lawns in Taunton for an intimate full-length club show ahead of their appearance at Cruel World festival in California later in May.

With his former partner in electropop crime Stephen Luscombe, frontman Neil Arthur is responsible for classic, genre-defining tracks 'Living On The Ceiling', 'Waves', Blind Vision', 'Don't Tell Me', their arguably-better-than-the-original version of ABBA's 'The Day Before You Came', and fan favourites 'Feel Me', 'The Game Above My Head' and 'That's Love, That It Is'. Neil is unique among many of his peers in that he has continued to create, innovate and prolifically release new material, including 2022's critically acclaimed album 'Private View'.

You can expect to hear tracks from all corners of their career, performed live in an intimate club-capacity venue located in the heart of Taunton - we couldn't be happier to be hosting this exclusive festival warm-up show!

There will be no support act, but tickets include entry to the Computer World club session kicking off shortly after the show concludes, so please do stay on to shake your non-fascist groove thang to some classic synth-centric and new wave tunes from before, during and after the 80s!

Doors open: 7pm

Blancmange: 8.15pm to 9.45pm

Computer World club session: 9.50pm to 1am

Location

The Lawns Social Club
Mary Street, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 3PE United Kingdom


VENUE LOCATION: The Lawns Social Club is located in the heart of Taunton, on the A38, opposite the High Street car park, and a 15 minute walk from the railway station.


ABOUT PARKING: There is a small car park on site, and a much larger public car park directly opposite the venue which is usually free after 6pm (but do check the signage on arrival to verify this). Should you be lucky enough to find a space in the on-site car park, you will be required to enter your registration number on a tablet within 10 minutes of parking up. The tablet is located at the main reception. Failure to do so will incur a hefty fine which we won't be able to overturn!


ABOUT SEATING: Please note that The Lawns Social Club has plenty of unreserved seating, but purchasing a ticket only guarantees you entry to the event, not a seat, so try to arrive as you possibly can if having a seat is important to you. Exception: we will reserve a seat in advance for the mobility-impaired and wheelchair users, who should contact the organiser (JD Events) immediately upon ticket purchase should a seat or space be required.


FOOD & BEVERAGE AVAILABILITY: The Lawns Social Club offers a full bar service from 6pm, and a range of hot and cold bar snacks and meals. Call them directly nearer the time to inquire about what's on the menu - 07891 996010. Alternatively, there are many restaurant or fast food choices a stone's throw away.


ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS: There are two hotels within a few minutes walk of The Lawns Social Club - 1) The Corner House Hotel, and, 2) The Taunton House Hotel. There are also two Premier Inn hotels within a 5 minute drive.
