Levellers Collective: Spring 2025 Acoustic Tour
2025-03-08 20:00 (Europe/London) | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
After two highly acclaimed acoustic tours and albums in recent years, the Levellers Collective bring their new tour to Northampton this March.
The 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).
The 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.

Spend an evening with a master of the spoken word, BAFTA nominated author, activist, performer and Sunday Times number one bestseller, Lemn Sissay OBE as he takes to the stage with this brand-new show.
Every morning for 10 years Lemn has written four lines and shares them on his socials with no explanation and no title. After catching the public’s attention, they have been transformed into murals, quoted in books, made into songs and even tattoos. He chose the best of them for Let the Light Pour In which became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller- and now a live show.
With live readings from his books, Lemn will unravel some of the original stories behind the poems, and how they have been used in people’s lives and his own. Expect the unexpected. A night bursting with light to stave off the dark.
With the unique chance to pepper Lemn with questions, this thought-provoking and entertaining show on the power of creativity can’t be missed. An evening full of truth, humour and hope, Lemn will allow us into his morning poetry practice and show us all how he lets the light pour in.
I will build an embassy
In your heart over time
There is a plot of land inside me
Build one in mine
Lemn will be signing books after the show. Copies of Let the Light Pour In (RRP £12.99) and additional bestselling titles will be available for purchase at each show.

Mark Steel: The Leopard In My House
2025-03-26 20:00 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
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.

NC Jazz: Clark Tracey’s Jazz Champions
2025-03-28 19:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
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
Alan 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.
Tenor 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.
Dave 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.
Bassist 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.

Nathan Carter
2025-04-05 19:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
He has outsold the likes of Beyonce in Ireland, performed for the Pope, sold out venues across the world; and is one of the most prolific touring artists in the UK. Now, as he releases his new album ‘Music Man’, Ireland’s top entertainer Nathan Carter has announced a brand new UK tour.
Born in Liverpool to Irish parents from County Down, Nathan Carter has released 13 studio albums and 6 live albums, with a sound that traverses pop, Irish folk, country music and timeless ballads.
With tracks such as Wagon Wheel and I Wanna Dance becoming huge hits, he is one of Ireland’s biggest artists, who has outsold One Direction, Pharrell Williams and Michael Bublé. He also became the first Irish country act to reach number 1 in the Irish charts in 2013 after Garth Brooks, six years before.
His new album Music Man features 11 tracks including the hugely successful single Dance With Everybody and the new song Dear Elizabeth.
On the album, Nathan says:
‘For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around music. It’s a language I’ve always understood, which started out as a hobby and has grown into a career which I am so privileged to enjoy every day. Thanks to music, I get to wake up each morning to do something that I love and share it with all of you.
It’s a complete love, a total obsession and has literally dictated the course of my life. I am proud to be a ‘music man’ and think it’s a really fitting title for this album. It certainly sums me up!
On the ‘Music Man’ album, you’ll find new music I’ve really enjoyed making and I hope that comes across as you listen. With the help of some amazingly talented artists, producers and songwriters, we’ve created something which I hope you will enjoy and will keep your love of music alive too.’
Growing up in a house where Country and Western music filled the air, Nathan was exposed to the classic songs of Johnny Cash, Don Williams and Dolly Parton which firmly rooted themselves in his musical DNA.
From the tender age of 4 years old, not only learning to play guitar, piano and accordion, which plays a vital part in his live show, Nathan quickly became head chorister in the Liverpool Boys choir where he toured the world… and even performed in front of the Pope in Rome.
Years later, with an astounding career of achievements as he became Ireland’s number 1 entertainer, he would repeat this feat as a star in an incredible full circle moment in 2018, when he performed for the Pope on his historic visit to Ireland at Dublin’s Croke Park stadium.
