Animal Farm

ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER SOLO SHOWS! HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED!

80+ years since the publication of Orwell’s barnyard masterpiece about the abuse of power and the power to corrupt, Olivier award winner, Guy Masterson’s epic, often comic yet deeply moving solo adaptation is perhaps more relevant than ever before as Napoleon leads the animals down the oft-trodden path of totalitarianism.

Now starring the brilliant Sam Blythe this powerful production will blow your trotters off!

It couldn’t really happen again… could it?

This performance is part of our Members 241 Offer – please ask for details.

Patrick Monahan

Patrick Monahan – I’m not a terrorist, I’m Freddie Mercury
Since coming to England from Iran in 1980, if I had a £1 for every time someone called me a terrorist, I’d have enough money to run my own terrorist organisation.

I’ve more in common with Freddie Mercury than Hezbollah.
I’ve had visas turned down, extra checks & restricted access.
I’ve 60mins to prove I’m not a terrorist.

“His kind of funny is an irresistible force” 4* Scotsman (Kate Copstick)
“has his audiences in stitches from the off.” 4.5* One4Review
“Patrick Monahan is clever, very funny and hugely likeable” 5* Scottish Field

The Charlotte Carrivick Band

With a shared passion for modern bluegrass, The Charlotte Carrivick Band brings together four of the most exciting musicians in the UK today. Charlotte Carrivick is a flatpicking guitarist of international renown, sought for her inventive lead playing and regarded as an expert fiddle tune interpreter on the guitar.

Joining Charlotte is long time collaborator and in-demand fiddler, Kieran Towers (Pet Yeti); master of tone and taste, Evan Davies, on the mandolin (The Often Herd); and the firm hand of fellow Midnight Skyracer bassist, Eleanor Wilkie. Together, their music is at times joyous, poignant, dark, pensive or exuberant with virtuosic instrumentals and close harmony singing.

As a founding member of IBMA award nominated, Island Records signed bluegrass powerhouse band, Midnight Skyracer, and one half of the more folk infused and award winning duo The Carrivick Sisters, Charlotte’s taste covers the breadth of the genre as well as taking influence from old time and jazz. It was during the recording of her debut solo album, showcasing her guitar playing and tune writing, that the band was formed. If you are lover of new acoustic music, bluegrass, old time and swing you won’t want to miss this band.

Midsummer Revels 

Following from GreenMatthews highly-successful Midwinter Revels, they present their new show Midsummer Revels. Featuring traditional English folk songs, self-written material and toe-tapping dance tunes, Midsummer Revels is a glorious feel-good evocation of sunny days, blue skies and green fields! Songs of the land and sea, town and country are brought to life on a plethora of instruments such as English border bagpipes, mandocello and shawm, all underscored with GreenMatthews’ trademark wit and humour.

Sue & Sheri’s One Night Stand

Sheri and Sue have trodden the boards both on the North and South banks for more years than they are prepared to admit. One Night Stand (not a piece of furniture but definitely embracing a double entendre) brings together pieces new and old: a potty purèe of performance, pastiche and poetry. Their aim is to entertain: rage against the dimming of the stage lights (well roll their eyes and tut a bit) and really put the ‘H’ back into Hip-op!!
