Synopsis:
The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death. Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle's grave, where he must face the Wilis and Giselle's ghost.
Peter Wright's 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam's evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.

But when her plans don’t quite work out, she finds herself strapped for cash and with a new job running the cafeteria at the local migrant shelter, ran by Lorenzo (François Cluzet) and Sabine (Chantal Neuwirth). In charge of a run-down kitchen and needing to make food for hungry young men, Cathy hates her job, but it’s not long before she realises that she can provide valuable life skills – and maybe learn something herself too! Charming, and brilliantly performed by a talented ensemble cast, The Kitchen Brigade packs mouth-watering food, big laughs and a valuable message into its runtime.

From the moment he first danced his fingers across the keys, Ben Waters has been on a mission to capture the raw, unrestrained joy of boogie-woogie and early rock ’n’ roll. He’s long been celebrated as one of Britain’s most electrifying pianists, described by the press as “key-shattering boogie-woogie” and “one of the best pianists in the UK.”
Over decades of touring the world, Ben has shared stages with musical giants including Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, Ray Davies, Jools Holland, and many more. His performances are bursting with energy, humour, and the spirit of true rock ’n’ roll — a living link to the music that shaped generations.
A Remarkable Musical Partnership
Ben’s musical journey becomes even more extraordinary when told through the eyes — and saxophone — of his son, Tom Waters.
Tom grew up surrounded by music. At just eight years old, he picked up the saxophone after joining his father on tour with Rocket 88, where he met and was mentored by sax legends Willie Garnett, Don Weller, and Alex Garnett. By the age of nine, Tom was already sitting in with Charlie Watts and was introduced to Bobby Keys and Tim Ries from The Rolling Stones — who famously presented him with a saxophone to encourage his playing.
At just thirteen years old, Tom made the bold decision to leave traditional schooling and join his father on tour full-time. Together they performed an astonishing 900 shows across 52 countries in just three years, bringing their dynamic, family-driven music to audiences around the world.
Tom later refined his craft with formal study, completing four years at the Royal Academy of Music, where he graduated with flying colours. His education, combined with his vast touring experience, has shaped him into one of the most exciting and versatile young saxophonists in the UK.
Now a rising star in his own right, Tom has worked with world-class artists across genres — from rhythm & blues and jazz to funk, Latin, and soul — and continues to perform internationally, composing and recording music for stage, screen, and television.
What to Expect on Stage
When Ben and Tom Waters take the stage together, audiences witness something rare: a deep musical bond between father and son that fuses experience, passion, and instinct.
· Expect thunderous, foot-stomping piano from Ben — a masterclass in boogie-woogie and blues, delivered with charisma and flair.
· Expect soaring, soulful saxophone from Tom — at times lyrical and tender, at others fiery and exhilarating.
· Expect spontaneity, humour, and pure joy — every show is unique, bursting with life and musical chemistry.
This is not just a concert — it’s a celebration of the enduring power of rhythm & blues, rock ’n’ roll, and jazz, performed by two musicians at the top of their game who share both blood and beat.
