Roar with Laughter<br />
84 Charing Cross Road<br />
84 Charing Cross Road tells the true, bittersweet<br />
but heart-warming story of a Transatlantic friendship<br />
which develops between outspoken New York writer<br />
Helene Hanff, (played by Hollywood and Broadway<br />
legend, Stefanie Powers), and more restrained English<br />
bookseller Frank Doel (played by celebrated British<br />
TV and film actor Clive Francis), after Hanff places an<br />
order by mail.<br />
From 1949 until Doel’s death in 1969, Hanff and Doel<br />
continue to correspond, humorously revealing the<br />
contrast between life in post-war Britain, still affected by<br />
rationing, and more affluent New York.<br />
Enjoy a spectacular evening of comedy with three great exponents of stand<br />
up, Mike Wilmot, Rob Beckett and Rich Wilson. Beckett, ‘Mouth of the<br />
South’, now well-established, is also a familiar TV figure, who has appeared on<br />
‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘Mock the Week’ and ‘8 out of 10 Cats’. Inspired by the<br />
comedians he saw while working as a barman at a club in Greenwich, Wilson<br />
gave comedy a go himself. He has since become a circuit regular, especially as<br />
a compere, while Mike Wilmot has appeared at venues all around the world.<br />

International guitar night with the Lulo<br />
Reinhardt and Andre Krengel Quartet<br />
Stunning guitarist Lulo is the great-nephew of the world famous<br />
gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, who helped to create an entirely<br />
new way of playing jazz in the 1930s and 1940s. Lulo, who began<br />
playing guitar at the tender age of 5, has incorporated Latin<br />
swing and flamenco into the jazz rhythms of his family’s musical<br />
heritage, creating a unique mix of styles. One of Germany’s<br />
leading guitarists, Andre Krengel is truly multi-cultural, combining<br />
American rock styles with Spanish, Portuguese, Cuban and world<br />
music. In 2005, he co-founded prize-winning band Sina Nossa<br />
(“Our Destiny”), a Portuguese fado and world music fusion band.<br />
