The Producers

Award winning blues band

Thursday 12th August

Tickets £10 - on sale now

Dave Saunders and Harry Skinner formed The Producers in 1990 and quickly became one of the most popular blues outfits in the country, winning the ‘Blues Band of the Year’ award 4 times and releasing 7 CD albums, one of which ‘Ain’t no Love in the World’ was nominated for the ‘Best Blues Album’ award.

Popularity amongst blues fans for The Producers is very strong and national tours sell out as standard. The Producers were among the first to feature an acoustic set in their show which led to the whole acoustic set becoming almost ‘de rigueur’ with every band, blues or otherwise, following The Producers lead.

Ever fluid, The Damned swiveled into the new century with their trademark dark vocals, poppy melodies and scintillating guitar sounds intact.

Summer with Shostakovich - The Joker in the Pack

with the Bristol Ensemble

Sunday 29th August

Doors open 7.15pm for an 8pm start

Standard Tickets £15.50 / Friends £12.50

The great Russian composer Dimitri Shostakovich was a brilliant humorist. Alongside his symphonies and chamber music, Shostakovich wrote jaunty jazz, farcical songs, satirical ballets and surreal operas - all with stonking good tunes.

Shostakovich was forced to play the court jester to Josef Stalin's dictator, and it's this dynamic that produced some truly outstanding music.

Join John Telfer (the Vicar in The Archers) and the 15-piece Bristol Ensemble as they explore the essence of Russian humour - performing songs, poems and café band pieces by Shostakovich's precursors and contemporaries, as well as a selection of the great man's most entertaining pieces.

The show's music includes Mussorgsky songs, Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite, Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale and Shostakovich's bitter-sweet waltz made famous by Stanley Kubrick's film Eyes Wide Shut.

Be prepared to be surprised.............
