“Plot: 'Taylor and two other astronauts come out of deep hibernation to find that their ship has crashed. Escaping with little more than clothes they find that they have landed on a planet where men are pre-lingual and uncivilized while apes have learned speech and technology. Taylor is captured and taken to the city of the apes after damaging his throat so that he is silent and cannot communicate with the apes.’ (IMDb)”

“Epoch is a trio comprised of guitarist Matt James with the Italian heavyweights; Pasquale Votino on bass and Paolo Adamo on drums. The three have a mixture of contemporary jazz tunes, fresh arrangements of standards and original compositions up their sleeves. The three play energetically with both audacity and subtlety when required. Matt has a compositional style that draws from the world of Messiean as much as it does Wayne Shorter, creating a impressionistic and often mystical landscape.”

“Historians have long asked, which came first: Springbreak or Spring itself? Nevertheless those long in the know have always held it was the shimmering folk of songwriter, Kate Stapley. So for our return to the Louie we're more than delighted to announce a headline show for her on the 18th August, supported by a bevy of wonderful poets and musicians, and featuring brand new material coming out soon on Breakfast Records!”

“Foot-stomping Americana quartet, & old favourites here, with Steve Page (vocals, guitar, banjo, harmonica), Chris Gamble (violin), Jake Peggs (drums, vocals) & Rob Grist (bass). Pull up a swinging bench and prepare to be transported. www.theopensecrets.co.uk

“Inspired by members of the audience, a completely original drama is performed through a series of hand-drawn characters. A delightfully experimental show, brought to life through improvisation and imagination.”
