Six guys. Six voices : No Luggage. No
Compromise.
Imagine...
The Magnets are Britain's most exciting vocal group since
the 1960s. Combining harmony singing with beatbox drumming, they
have taken a cappella music to a whole new audience, and created
a sound to rival that of any band with instruments. In fact, The
Magnets have the advantage over any conventional band. They can
perform any time, anywhere there is space for six men to stand
and sing. From street

A revival of Chalkfoot’s acclaimed 2009 Jermyn Street production
Trapped between this world and the next, Stan and Ollie pass their time in limbo, reprising old routines, swapping gags, bickering and making up.

What the London press said:
‘Neil Bromley and Simon Lloyd are excellent as Stan and Ollie, not just in perfecting their celebrated mannerisms but also in the cascade of scenes they deliver’ - Quentin Letts, Daily Mail ****
‘Incidental music by Julian Ronnie, set and costume design by Phil Newman and deft direction by Philip Dart all ensure that the spirit of Laurel & Hardy still works its particular brand of magic’ - Giles Cole, What's On Stage ****
‘A night of old-fashioned fun, celebrating the kind of comic chemistry that's impossible to manufacture’ - Sharon Lougher, Metro ****
‘This production has also managed to capture the spirit of the men. You'd almost think that Stan and Ollie were alive again’ - Steve Bennett, Chortle |

Wednesday 6 October at 7.30pm Epsom Literary Society presents Martin & Charlie Wheatley present BANJOS AND GUITARS TO STRING-DRIVEN SWING |
|
How the family of stringed instruments created the sound of American popular music
A lot has been said, and written, recently about the invention of the electric guitar and how it shaped popular music. For about 70 years before that event, though, acoustic stringed instruments had been at the very heart of things. Acoustic stringed instruments were what made the music sound the way it did. This lecture recital explains and demonstrates how it all works.
Martin Wheatley has spent all of his professional life playing this music and learning about its history, playing all of the above-named instruments and more. He has toured the United States performing and collecting instruments and 78 rpm records, played Hawaiian guitar in Hawaii, recorded with a host of acknowledged masters of vintage music. In this lecture-recital he will be accompanied by his teenage son Charlie, a prodigious talent himself.
It is a fascinating story but, above all, it’s a lot of fun.
Tickets at the door £10 from 7.00 pm Enquiries to Michael Stevens at Michael@mcstevens.co.uk 0791 3655 458 |

The UK’s only “stand-up mountaineer” Andy Kirkpatrick is a natural performer with talents to rival the top comedy acts in the UK. His inimitable style coupled with his love for all things extreme make for a unique evening of entertainment, with stunning images and footage accompanying his tales of terror from the steep.
In his past shows Andy searched for an answer to his perpetual quest for adventure. ‘Off The Wall’ is his third attempt to answer the reason why he climbs, as he charts the last two years of his life with a collection of stories, including climbing the mighty El Capitan in Yosemite with injured serviceman Major Phil Packer, a dramatic rescue from the North Face of the Eiger, a near drowning at Cape Wrath and a trip to Number 10.
Andy is a hugely popular speaker and accomplished story-teller, as comfortable on stage as he is lashed to an ice-clad mountain in a 100mph storm. In ‘Off The Wall’, he bucks the trend of macho mountain men, recounting his crazy adventures with a heady mix of observational comedy and self-deprecating tales of survival, expertly weaving his narrative with stunning audio visuals to give his audiences a real taste of adventure.

“John Kirkpatrick: he’s in a class of his own for the life he instils into whatever issues from his squeezeboxes”. (Folk Roots). From the late 1960s, John has been at the very forefront of innovative folk in Britain, and has played with, among others, the ALBION BAND, the ALBION COUNTRY BAND, STEEELEYE SPAN, the RICHARD THOMPSON BAND, BRASS MONKEY, and BAND OF HOPE, as well as establishing himself as a brilliant solo act. It is a pedigree second to none.
Whatever the musical context, John has gained wide acclaim not only for his virtuosity and musicianship, but also for the essentially English quality of the sound that characterises all his work. ‘Concertina & Squeezebox’ magazine in the USA has said of John that he “has certainly had more influence upon English diatonic reed playing than anyone of his generation.” Booking a solo evening with John Kirkpatrick guarantees an evening of variety and entertainment of the highest quality. Folkworks said of him, “one of the major figures of the English folk scene, John is much acclaimed as a musician, composer, singer, songwriter .... in fact, he could be called the Renaissance Man of folk music.” |

The Award Winning National Tour comes to the Epsom Playhouse GIDDY OX & SPL PRESENT THE NATIONAL TOUR OF ‘The Rebel Cell’
From the original producers of the West End Smash Hit ‘Into the Hoods’ and the critically acclaimed theatre company Giddy Ox comes the multi-award winning show, ‘The Rebel Cell’.
Rebellious is the only way to describe this show. With real-time camera work, interactive video, a live scratch DJ and a lyrical hip hop battle that will blow your socks off, this show is a philosophical revolution!
Set in the year 2015, England has adopted terror laws that dispense with the last remaining civil liberties. Dizraeli, the leader of the revolution, has been captured by the state police. Baba Brinkman is the journalist assigned to interview the prisoner and get to the bottom of his dissident politics. Enter the Rebel Cell, a lyrical battle of wits and world-views.
Set in an interview room in a state police station, the two men lock horns in a daring and vivacious battle of political ideologies. Using multi-media projections, real-time camera work and a live scratch DJ, the audience is taken back to 2010 to scenes which reveal a turbulent history between Dizraeli and Brinkman.
The two young revolutionaries join forces to form their group Mud Sun. As success snowballs into underground sensation, the clash in priorities between the two artists becomes a chasm. Betrayal, political ideologies and greed tears the two friends apart as we arrive once again in the interview room, in 2015.
A highly irreverent political comedy, this 'thrilling rap drama' is a night of vivacious fun, 'dextrous word-smithery' and awe-inspiring eloquence.

Thursday 9 December at 7.45pm NICK ROSS ORCHESTRA - In the Christmas Mood Tickets: £18.50 Pass Card Members: £14.50 |
|
The lights soften, the mood settles. An audience waits for that first moment of sound. The Big Band is poised, relaxed, but with eyes anxious for the lead. Then, as if giving body to an echo, the murmured notes of ‘Moonlight Serenade’…and the night, it seems, is suddenly full and timeless.
There are those who watch and listen who tap a shy finger to the melodies, others who follow with a silent foot-beat, still others who murmur softly through the lyrics, and those who simply permit a fleeting smile. But common to all are memories.

These long standing co-vocalists with The Blues Band get a big buzz out of taking things down a level, simplifying the music a little, and plying their trade as a duo, thus imbuing their very own personal and individual approaches to a dynamic, rootsy and exhilarating set of Country Blues. Venues large and small have been hushed and then enraptured by the sense of ‘old times’ in the Mississippi Delta. PAUL JONES vocals and harmonicaPaul’s career is well charted - heartthrob singer with Manfred Mann in the '60s, solo hits, songwriting, film and theatre success .… a thrillingly varied and successful career. Apart from his live work with The Blues Band and The Manfreds, he is also currently well known and respected for his work as a DJ, presenting BBC Radio 2’s Rhythm and Blues show and his Jazz FM programmes. Paul’s feeling for his music and masterfully soulful harmonica playing has kept him at the top of his field. He’s been voted top male vocalist by The British Blues Connection and in 1994 was presented with a special award for ‘services to the blues’
DAVE KELLY vocals and guitar Dave followed his very talented sister, Jo Ann Kelly, into the world of professional music in 1966. They had previously been regular winners of every talent contest they could get their names down for. London’s frenetically hip, yet cool, culture at that time made it seem natural that Dave’s path would cross with the those of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Son House, Buddy Guy …. to name a few. Sometimes the meetings were casual but ultimately Dave has played with all of them and toured with Wolf and Hooker. Over the years he’s achieved many accolades for his guitar work and vocals. He was voted Acoustic Artist of the Year in 1992, '94, '96, '97 and '98 by the British Blues Connection. Dave’s performances can get you rocking, or dreaming, and can even hit the tear ducts! He performs it – you feel it. |

Irish born Jessie Buckley has been praised as one of the brightest rising stars on the musical theatre scene. After gaining warm national recognition through her television appearances she went on to portray the vocally challenging role of Anne Egerman in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC directed by the legendary Trevor Nunn, firstly at the prestigious Menier Chocolate Factory and then on the West End. For this role she was deservedly nominated for the whatsonstage.com award for ‘Best Supporting Actress’. Her Valentine’s Week cabaret debut at London’s leading supper club Pizza on the Park sold out and earned her more plaudits. ‘I have never seen a cabaret debut as accomplished, daring and confident before as that made by Jessie Buckley, still only 20 years old’ Mark Shenton – The Stage |

His journey has wound from his roots in suburban Southampton to the far frozen poles and the sticky forests and searing deserts in between and brought him eye to eye with the humble and the fearful. He tells his story and theirs, ponders his poor reflections of their perfection and asks what of their future? Informative, thought provoking and inevitably controversial. This show comes through the cameras and from the heart of one of the world’s most impassioned naturalists. A fabulously entertaining romp, fun for all the family and studded with his trade mark, quick-witted and irreverent humour!

Combining live performance with unique film footage, singer and television personality Isla St Clair presents this delightfully nostalgic, poignant and humorous look at the effects of music in wartime. As well as singing the songs, she also tells the stories behind them. Joining Isla is film maker Patrick King who gives a fascinating and humorous “behind-the-scenes” look at the making of some familiar films. Using film clips they illustrate how songs and music played an important part in people’s daily lives and were utilised as morale boosters, propaganda and forms of entertainment during some of the darkest days in our history. ‘Eyes Front!’ is a rich blend of song and story, film and humour which results in a light hearted family show that is both informative and wonderfully entertaining.
“Isla voice in beautifully pure and brings centuries of music to life ...” Sunday Times Magazine “Eyes Front! is a deeply affecting show that evokes many feelings ...” Northern Echo “Isla possesses the voice of an Angel, it allows every lyric to be heard perfectly ...” |

If you have never heard the
unique, heavenly sound of LIBERA, then prepare yourself for
something very special indeed. The boys who make up Libera have
been described as “normal” and “ordinary”. However, as their
recordings and performances demonstrate, the music they produce
is anything but. With shimmering, mystical chords and ecstatic
harmonies, often performed in Latin, they are unlike any other
group you have ever heard.
Familiar to audiences across the world, the boys have a stunningly original sound, which is at once both ancient and modern. Their distinctive flowing white robes symbolise the traditional origins of their style - yet their music reaches across the generations to a new mainstream audience. Libera’s success in album charts around the world bears witness to the extraordinary appeal of this unique ‘boy band’. Enchanting audiences wherever they go, they have attracted an enthusiastic fan base in many countries, particularly the US, UK, Japan, the Philippines and Korea. Through their involvement in Libera, the boys have travelled the world, recorded movie soundtracks and CDs and served as backing singers to mega-stars. But, as one of the boys said, “The travelling and filming is fun but even if we didn’t go anywhere I’d still want to do it because I just love singing.” |
