The Guardian
Winston Churchill is arguably one of the most famous Englishmen that has ever lived. His inspirational leadership helped win the Second World War, and his parliamentary career of 62 years ensured he was responsible for many momentous decisions.
They say that behind every great man, there is a great woman. Was this true in Churchill’s case? What of Clementine, his wife for 56 years? Did he bully her like he did so many other people? Was he as grumpy and irascible at home as he often was in the House of Commons? Given his strength and conviction, did Clem have any influence on him at all? Or was she 'the little lady at home'?
All these questions will be answered, and many more, in Liz Grand’s superb, moving, sensitive and informative portrayal of Clementine Churchill. (Liz’s other current shows are ‘The Second Best Bed’ and ‘Where Is Mrs. Christie?’).
Winston himself said, “my most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.”
Reviews
“The show was incredible and Liz's performance utterly outstanding. So many favourable comments. Don't know how on earth she does it and a remarkable script.” Sue Ablett, Director Evesham Word Festival
“This single actress show makes huge demands on Liz Grand who occupies the stage for two full acts on her own: it is a huge ‘tour de force’, a tremendous amount to learn and deliver, and she holds and absorbs our attention brilliantly.” Behind the Arras"
“The natural, sensitive and sympathetic way with which Liz Grand portrays ‘the little lady at home’ is impressive.” View from the Stalls
“And when the tears start to trickle down the actor’s face, they seem to speak louder than any words. In fact, to unashamedly borrow from a phrase, yes, for Liz Grand, this was arguably her finest hour.” Showtime

Eccentric lottery winner Charles lives alone on a remote island but dreams of hiring his favourite musician, Herb McGwyer, to play an exclusive, private gig. Unbeknownst to Herb, Charles has also hired Herb’s ex-bandmate and ex-girlfriend, Nell, with her new husband in tow, to perform the old favourites.
As tempers flare and old tensions resurface, the stormy weather traps them all on the island and Charles desperately looks for a way to salvage his dream gig.
SykesMartin is the exciting new collaboration from two of British folk's finest voices. Miranda Sykes (Show of Hands) and Hannah Martin (Edgelarks, Gigspanner Big Band) join forces to present a set of songs that take them back to their shared roots.
Having played together on numerous occasions, including in Steve Knightley's Wake the Union band, and at the Royal Albert Hall, they knew that they shared an instinctive ear for harmony and skilled instrumental improvisation.
A sociable Devon winter evening led to an exchange of songs; which proved to be so much fun that they soon arranged another musical get together. Swiftly these became rehearsal sessions, as a strong new sound emerged.
Miranda and Hannah have spent many years playing on the British folk scene, but neither has ever dedicated an entire set to traditional song.
Centred around their deep knowledge of roots music, and a love of harmony singing, SykesMartin brings together old songs with new ideas; ancient tales with bass, fiddle, and banjo; and two mesmerising storytellers joining voices to create a spine tingling testimonial to our shared musical heritage.
“An exciting collaboration…a must for any folkie!” - The Morning Star 7

Andy Reilly, lead singer of SLADEST, began his journey as the entertainment manager at Pilton Working Men’s Club in 2003, booking some of the UK’s top tribute acts like T.Rextasy, The ELO Experience, and OAS-IS. But in 2008, everything changed when Andy and a few friends put together what was meant to be a one-off tribute to Slade for Christmas. The gig was such a runaway success that SLADEST was born and has been rocking ever since, bringing the unmistakable glam-rock energy of Slade to stages across the country.
SLADEST has made waves on some of the biggest stages, including three performances at the iconic Glastonbury Festival. One of their most unforgettable moments was when Glastonbury’s legendary founder, Michael Eavis, stepped in as guest lead vocalist for their specially arranged cover of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” It’s a testament to the band’s ability to win over even the most discerning audiences.
By 2021, SLADEST had earned the coveted headlining slot at the annual Slade Convention, a highlight for fans of the iconic band. Their electric performance that year was followed by an equally thunderous return in 2022, supporting the all-female Slade tribute, Slady, and wowing the crowd. By 2023, SLADEST had cemented their place at the top, headlining the Slade Convention and proving they are the premier Slade tribute band in the country.
Celebrating their 15th anniversary in 2023, SLADEST continues to rise, landing prestigious bookings and delivering the vibrant, high-energy experience that transports audiences back to the heyday of Slade. If you’re looking for a band that embodies the spirit, sound, and spectacle of the glam rock era, SLADEST is simply unbeatable.

Christine’s career now spans an incredible 40 years. Over that bridge of time she has released 24
albums, a DVD celebrating 20 years in the business and an acclaimed single with
the BBC: the theme tune for “The Life and Loves of a She-Devil” in 1987.
Throughout, she has mesmerized and astounded with her unique
blend of soul, blues, pop, jazz, country and folk, and today she remains as
powerful, subtle, effortless and relevant as ever.
Collister grew up on the Isle of Man, and her professional recording career began after she moved to the UK in the mid 1980’s, when she came to national attention singing the theme for the BBC Television series The Life and Loves Of A She Devil.
A period of great critical and commercial success when working with Clive Gregson was followed by a fruitful and enduring association with Richard Thompson.
Christine is
a magical live performer, with her gravity defying voice, assured and
impressive live performances and great personal charm has become a familiar and
popular name on the ‘live’ scene including major international festivals from
Glastonbury to Cambridge, Winnipeg to Port Fairey.
“ … a voice personally delivered by God.” The Times
‘Christine Collister has a killer voice. As full as Dusty
Springfield or as blue as Alison Moyet’ – Froots
Released in 2024 - Children Of The Sea, a very special project of 9 original songs inspired by Manx Folklore and a magical sense of place. Part funded by the Isle Of Man Arts Council, Culture Vannin and Fledgling Records, The CD is accompanied by a beautiful book complete with lyrics, inspirations and stories with original illustrations by Manx artists. It promises to be Collister’s finest release and marks a turning point in her authentic artistic expression.
Christine
has always enjoyed the collaborative process and has been an integral part of
many and varied musical projects over the years. Her most recent collaboration
with brilliant Australian guitarist Michael Fix has been a successful and delightful
surprise for them both. They released
their second CD “North&South” in October of 2019 with a sell out tour of
the UK followed by an equally successful tour of the Australian Festival scene
in 2020.
‘Christine Collister’s singing was powerful and emotional, shifting effortlessly from soft and angelic to knock you out Janice Joplin style. Michael Fix’s guitar was equally superb. He provided tasteful support in the most charming way and would then explode into amazing virtuoso runs across the finger board, all impeccably tasteful and clean.’– Troubadour (Woy Woy NSW) concert review, Michael Fine
Christine’s natural warmth and intimate connection with audiences coupled with her stunning voice, make her concerts delightfully memorable events.‘…one of the world’s finest..’ – Q
Christine also toured and recorded with the female super group Daphne’s Flight. In 2017, 21 years after their first collaboration, they released a highly acclaimed second album: "Knows Time, Knows Change" on Fled’gling Records.

From the files of Scotland Yard come these startling stage adaptations of infamous true-life nineteenth century crimes. During the course of this macabre performance, you'll encounter many nefarious individuals from late Victorian London, such as the infamous Whitechapel Murderer Henry Wainwright. He murdered his mistress in a particularly bloodthirsty manner, and hoped to escape justice. However, the dismembered corpse of Harriet Lane refused to stay hidden.
You will also meet the Lambeth Poisoner Dr Thomas Neill Cream, the sadistic serial killer and possibly the dreaded Jack the Ripper also. His murder spree on both sides of the Atlantic made his name a byword for horror.
The company is now in its fifteenth year of touring. We are one of the UK's busiest and hardest-working small-scale theatre companies, and we are unique in that we specialise solely in original adaptations of classic Victorian and Edwardian popular fiction, and stageworks based on actual events from that era.

Blending traditional instruments, folk melodies and subtle electronic influences, they’ve extensively performed throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and most recently at The Royal Albert Hall.
After a mammoth 60+ date UK and European support tour with Midge Ure and live sessions with BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music they return in 2024 with their long awaited third studio album. With The Daily Telegraph giving them **** and declaring them “Bursting with invention and full of surprises.” and FRUK describing them as “one of the truly pioneering acts” they will be bringing their unique headline shows to audiences throughout the year.

This is a quote from the back of the Beatles 4th album “When, in a generation or so, a radio-active, cigar-smoking child, picnicking on Saturn, asks you what the Beatle affair was all about – ‘Did you actually know them?’ – don’t try to explain all about the long hair and the screams! Just play their music.”
With sheer joy and energy Upbeat Beatles will take you on a journey through the earth-shattering sounds of the FAB 4!
Throw away all your inhibitions!
No band does it better than the Upbeat Beatles!

Since their first get together, to record the eponymous St Agnes Fountain album in 2001, the quartet; David Hughes, Fairport Convention's Chris Leslie and multi award winning duo Chris While and Julie Matthews, have brought musical invention and laughter to the star-dust atmosphere of the season.
In 2020, David decided to leave the band and very sadly passed away in 2023, he will be sorely missed...
Chris, Chris and Julie will be keeping the Christmas Aggie spirit alive and working as a trio celebrating 22 years together again this year.
Although their albums accompany the putting up of a thousand Christmas trees throughout Britain and around the globe as their reputation reaches further afield, it is, without question, their magical live performances that have endeared them to an ever-growing audience (tickets were again being sold for this year's tour as the curtain fell last year).
Christmas, as they say, starts with...... St Agnes Fountain... Fa la la la la la la la la!
Chris, Chris and Julie intend to do just that, keeping the Christmas Aggie spirit alive and touring as a trio celebrating 23 years together with some new material, those old Aggie classics and a doff of the fedora to David
Although the albums accompany the putting up of a thousand Christmas trees throughout Britain and around the globe as their reputation reaches further afield, it is, without question, their magical live performances that have endeared them to an ever-growing audience (tickets were again being sold for this year's tour as the curtain fell last year).
Chris While vocals, guitar, bodhran, dulcimer, banjo, darbuka and percussion.
Julie Matthews vocals, piano, guitar, accordion and gazouki

Chris and Julie are more powerful and popular than ever in their 27th year as a duo and remain at the very top of their game. whileandmatthews.com

Seth was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2005 for 'Kitty Jay'. Multiple albums, tours and high-profile collaborations later, the acclaimed folk artist released his latest studio album The Granite Way in February on his own label, Honour Oak Records. It’s a collection of songs recorded alongside a group of longtime collaborators of Seth’s, staying true to his roots and referring to ancient stories that inspired early West Country storytelling.
Seth Lakeman: ‘Each song feels strongly connected through history to the moors and the sea. I had written the stories and songs beforehand and had the melodic tunes ready for us all to explore when we recorded in the room, and the musical interplay between this lineup really displays their appetite for sounds and subjects within the folk tradition.’
In recent
years Seth was asked to record on Van Morrison’s album ‘Moving On Skiffle’ and
he collaborated with Public Service Broadcasting. Seth has also previously
worked, and toured extensively, with Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) with his band
the Sensational Space Shifters.
