“Following the success of Arthur Smith Sings Leonard Cohen, the comedian, tells the story of his own father in this brand-new show. Syd Smith fought at El Alamein, became a POW and ended the war in the notorious Colditz Castle in Germany. In the 1950s PC Syd patrolled London's South Bank and met a gallery of characters, whom he tried his best not to arrest. Arthur tells this enthralling 20th-century story with laughter, music (from Ray Davies and others), reflections and a hilarious photo.”
From: Arthur Smith presents Syd

“Bethany Black has been a professional stand-up comedian since 2004. Her debut show Beth Becomes Her detailed the story of her being transgender, chronicling everything from her coming out through her transition and eventually falling in love. It was nominated for Best Debut at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2008, eventually losing out to Sarah Millican.”

“Bristol-raised, Berlin-based sound warrior Ossia and a pack of allies from the edgelands between dub, electronics, noise and post-punk come together in the heart of St Paul's to celebrate 'Devil's Dance', his long-awaited debut LP dropping in February on Blackest Ever Black. An album launch with a serrated sonic spike in the party punch.”
From: Ossia presents Devils Dance

“Straight off the back of a phenomenal year of live audio-visual shows, which saw the band emerge as a must watch at Crack Magazine’s stage at Simple Things, ArcTanGent and their debut headline shows as well as support for Ho9909, Holy Fuck and Marie Davidson, ‘CHAMBER’ marks Scalping’s debut release and also the first release of brand-new, London-based imprint Council Records.”
