We talk to Carl Newman - Professionally-trained dancer who was the 'Movement Double' for Michael Keaton in the 1989 blockbuster feature film 'BATMAN'. The movie industry is full of secrets and one that would have wowed our younger selves would be learning that shots of Batman in the iconic Tim Burton movie where not Michael Keaton but in fact Carl Newman. Carl shares his journey from rural Leicestershire to Pinewood Studios in the late 80s where he spent eleven incredible weeks as the caped crusader. Through Tim Burton's vision, Carl was able to bring that to screen in the batsuit to shape one of the all time greatest superhero movies ever made.

They continue to grow and expand, bringing some music excitement to the festive season later this year with their Christmas Musical Spectacular.
