Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh will be on the road with his CON.FI.DEN.TIAL tour at the Birmingham Arena, SSE Wembley Arena, and Leeds First Direct Arena on May 19, 26 and 28 with the Grannies on board.

The life and times of Fizzogs Dancing Grannies. Well, you’re probably wondering how it all started, this dancing malarkey.
Well me (Letty), Hilda and May all met back in 1940 summat. We started dancing and just never stopped really. It’s like the music takes hold of your body and you just cor seem to control it!
There was a time when we gave up for a while, back in the 90s I think it was.
A café owner has become a major sponsor for comedy group Fizzogs' bid to become Hollywood stars.
Paula Goodyear from the Dudley Fountain Arcade Café has added her support to the fundraising attempt by the Black Country troop’s Dancing Grannies to develop a feature film script with award winning writer-director Ben Field.
They are raising money by a crowdfunding page to make a teaser tape to present to producers and investors. So far they have generated more than £600 towards their £2,000 target.
If this catches the attention of the right Hollywood bigwigs then the group are optimistic a movie could be on the cards.
