THE MARRAKESH
EXPRESS
Friday 2nd September
8pm
£15
There are few artists in
history with finer harmonies
than Crosby, Stills, Nash &
Young.
Recreating this enduring
sound for themselves, we
have The Marrakesh Express.
They’ll be telling the story of
how the world’s greatest
supergroup formed, as well
as playing songs by The
Hollies, The Byrds and
Buffalo Springfield.
Turn on and tune in as The
Marrakesh Express take their
audience back to a time of
protest, revolution and great
music. It’s one hell of a trip.
'If there are any better bands
than this in Britain today I’d
like to hear them.' - The
Evening Standard.
comedy
SHAPARAK
KHORSANDI
Sunday 4th September
8pm
£16
This is Shaparak
Khorsdandi's new show: It
Was The 90's!
It was the decade where
Shaparak left an important
part of her brain somewhere
in a field in Hampshire…
From indie discos to
unflattering crop tops…a trip
down memory lane to the
decade where ‘kinky’ was
nurse roleplay and whipped
cream, and Shaparak found
herself flying about London
with hope in her heart, a
tenner in her pocket and
spare knickers in her
handbag.
How does the decade of
binge drinking and walks of
shame look without
snakebite and black tinted
specs?
Using the sharp wit which
has landed appearances on
Mock The Week, 8 Out Of
10 Cats, Have I Got News
For You, QI, Just a Minute
and Live At The Apollo, this
new show gives one of the
UK’s finest comedians a rare
opportunity to look back.
music
REMI HARRIS &
TOM MOORE
Friday 9th September
8pm
£14
What do you get when you
combine the gypsy jazz
virtuosity of Django
Reinhardt and the hurricane
riffage of Jimi Hendrix? It’ll
be the new show by one of
the UK’s finest young
guitarists, Remi Harris.
Remi’s talent took him from
busking on the streets to
some of the world’s most
prestigious venues,
including Buckingham
Palace and the BBC Proms
at Royal Albert Hall.
Fresh from supporting Jools
Holland, double-bassist Tom
Moore will be joining Remi.
Together, they'll be bridging
two of their biggest musical
loves, acoustic jazz and
electric blues.
Expect new spins on jazz
standards and familiar tunes,
improvisations, and original
compositions from this
powerful duo.
'An absolutely extraordinary
musician.' - Jamie Cullum
'Astonishing stuff.' - Cerys
Matthews
