SUMMARY:Varna International Ballet 2025
DESCRIPTION:Raymond Gubbay presents Varna International Ballet\, returning for a new season in 2025\, with three classic ballets brought to life by magical special effects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformed by Varna International Ballet\nAccompanied by live orchestra the Varna International Ballet Orchestra \n\n\n\n\n  \nThe Nutcracker\nWed 5 March 2.30pm & 7.30pm \n \nThis most famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas Eve. As snowflakes fall outside\, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems; toy dolls spring to life\, the Mouse-king and his mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place where the magic really begins…

SUMMARY:Levellers Collective: Spring 2025 Acoustic Tour
DESCRIPTION:After two highly acclaimed acoustic tours and albums in recent years\, the Levellers Collective bring their new tour to Northampton this March. \nThe Collective live shows\, and albums\, came about after the Levellers decided to do something a bit different with their extensive back catalogue in 2018. Together with members of fellow Brighton group The Moulettes\, they went on to record two albums radically reworking their songs – with producer John Leckie (We The Collective) and Sean Lakeman (Together All The Way). \nThe new acoustic arrangements of those Levellers songs\, old and new\, can now also be seen and heard on a new Live Album & DVD which was recorded in 2023 at London’s iconic Hackney Empire. The film captures the spirit of the Levellers as never seen before as multiple cameras were positioned onstage for the recording and the result is a truly privileged vantage point.

SUMMARY:Mark Steel: The Leopard In My House
DESCRIPTION:Join multi-award-winning\, BAFTA-nominated writer and comedian Mark Steel for his new tour The Leopard In My House. The topic? His battle with throat cancer. A battle he is winning (thankfully) and which only his rapier wit could fashion a comedy tour show out of. Cancer has done nothing to dull Mark’s acute political observations or quash his “frankly bonkers” energy: you will laugh\, you will cry\, but you’ll laugh again\, and again\, and again. The Leopard In My House is proof that this leftie\, working-class\, Radio 4 favourite truly deserves his place in the UK comedy pantheon.

SUMMARY:NC Jazz: Clark Tracey’s Jazz Champions
DESCRIPTION:Clark Tracey is a jazz master. An inventive jazz drummer he’s also a proven group leader\, writer and arranger\, having appeared over many years with the world’s jazz greats. With this stellar band he has revived the famous jazz suites written by his late father\, the great pianist & composer Stan Tracey\, bringing masterpieces such as Under Milkwood successfully to admiring younger audiences. “For me Tracey is a world-class musician whose mature and distinctive artistry – his own “ snap-crackle” – is right up there with the likes of Philly Joe Jones and Roy Haynes.” Jazz Journal\, 2024 \nAlan Barnes’ range and brilliance have made him a “first call” for studio and live work since his precocious arrival on the scene more than thirty years ago. His recorded catalogue is immense. He has made over thirty albums as leader and co-leader alone\, and the list of his session and side-man work includes Bjork\, Bryan Ferry\, Michel LeGrande\, Clare Teale\, Westlife\, Jools Holland and Jamie Cullum. He has toured and played residencies with such diverse and demanding figures as Ruby Braff\, Freddie Hubbard\, Scott Hamilton\, Warren Vache\, Ken Peplowski\, Harry Allen and Conte Candoli. \nTenor saxophonist Simon Allen leads his own quartets and quintets. In addition\, he has recorded and performed with Sir Paul McCartney\, Birmingham Royal Ballet\, Phil Collins\, Jamie Cullum\, Beverly Knight and many\, many more. \nDave Newton has been voted Best Jazz Pianist sixteen times by the Jazz audience of the UK. His dynamic and lyrical jazz has perhaps been overshadowed by his work as accompanist for singers such as Marion Montgomery\, Tina May\, Annie Ross\, Claire Martin and of course Stacey Kent\, with whom he spent ten years recording and touring\, travelling all over the world. \nBassist Andy Cleyndert started out in the bands of Don Weller and Bobby Wellins and has since flourished on the jazz scene in the UK and beyond. He has played and toured with the cream of the UK’s musicians and a string of international soloists\, including Bud Shank\, George Coleman\, Ray Bryant\, Lee Konitz and James Moody.
