SUMMARY:Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox
DESCRIPTION:Fresh from playing their 1\,000th show\, retro musical collective Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ) has announced the UK leg of their 2025\, Magic & Moonlight World Tour. The group will headline the famed Royal Albert Hall in London before visiting Northampton in May. \n“If we’ve learned anything from ten years of touring the world\, it’s that great music has the ability to transcend time and space in a way that is best described as ‘magic\,” says Postmodern Jukebox creator and show director\, Scott Bradlee. \nConcertgoers can expect to enter a parallel musical universe where modern-day earworms and iconic pop hits alike are reimagined in classic genres like 1920s jazz\, Swing\, Doo-wop and Motown\, and brought to life by a cast of some of the world’s best singers\, dancers\, and instrumentalists. Think The Great Gatsby meets Sinatra at the Sands meets Back To The Future. \nThe rare concert act that appeals across generations\, older audience members will fall in love with the timeless sounds and nostalgic sensibilities\, while younger fans will be thrilled by the fresh take on current pop culture and the sheer virtuosity of the performers on stage. Dress vintage\, for the full effect!

SUMMARY:Rob Beckett: Giraffe
DESCRIPTION:Yes! Bobby Beckles is back on tour.  Smashing the life out of the M25\, M1\, M5 and any other road that’s in my way. From Bromley to Brisbane\, my new show Giraffe is going worldwide. \nExpectations on me: put on 3 stone from takeaways and post-show drinking. \nExpectations of you: leave the gig happier than when you arrived. \nMy wife thinks it’s going to be tough for me to be away from the family and don’t get me wrong\, I do love my children/podcast content providers… but I also enjoy a lie-in and a hotel buffet breakfast. I think I’ll cope. \nWhat else is there to do? Sit next to your partner on the sofa scrolling TikTok in silence again?  You did that the last three nights. See you there! \nHost of Sky’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and Rob & Romesh Vs. He’s also the unmistakable voice of Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating and the smash-hit podcast Parenting Hell.

SUMMARY:VISUALISE at 78
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Stitched Textiles \nThe Bassett-Lowke Rooms \n\n\nSat 8 Mar 2025 – Sun 25 May 2025 \n\n\n\nAn exhibition of Contemporary Stitched Art Textiles \nWe are delighted to be hosting this new exhibition of textiles and mixed media work which has been created by the Visualise textile group. Visualise was formed several years ago\, by like-minded artists who enjoy creating diverse work with stitch as the common thread. \nThe exhibition will also feature work by internationally known textile artist and Embroiderers Guild member Nigel Cheney who is the current mentor to Visualise. \nOn display is a diverse array of abstract\, realistic and figurative art using a wide variety of media: paper\, fabric (new\, distressed and recycled) and found objects which are hand and machine stitched\, or felted to create art inspired by both the natural world and the built environment. \nThe exhibition includes textile art inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and 78 Derngate itself\, with framed and small items for sale. \nCombining a look round the iconic Charles Rennie Mackintosh House before visiting the exhibition\, gardens and shop\, followed by partaking of some drink or food in The Dining Room is the perfect way to spend a glorious few hours in Northampton town. \nThere will be some ‘Meet the Artists’ days during the exhibition\, details as yet to be announced. \nThe members meet regularly in Welford\, Northamptonshire\, with the aim of promoting creativity through rigorous discipline\, underpinned by an interest in the history of textiles worldwide. \nOpening on Saturday 8th March until Sunday 25th May 2025\, closed Mondays\n10am- 4.30 pm – free admission to galleries\, shop and cafe. \nhttps://www.visualise.online/
