“One dreary boxing day after too many sausage rolls, Rob Cole fell asleep on a box set of Master Mind. To his surprise, Cole woke up to find that he had ingested the box set in his sleep, giving him terrible heartburn but more importantly the miracle of all omnipotent general knowledge and the honoured title of King of Trivia. Join us every Thursday from 8pm as he takes us on a thrilling from the superb saharas of sports to the magnanimous meanders of music with the chances to win wondrous prizes.”

“Matt Rees is an award-winning comic, and tour-support favorite with an impressive list of professional achievements and accolades I could hammer at here. But the truth is I asked him to headline because I saw him do a spot on a showcase a few months ago at the Machynlleth Festival and I was immediately a superfan. He killed it, of course, but he has a wry and dry delivery and an honest and personal take I want to see more of. Basically, I'm booking him selfishly because I want to see more of the guy, and I need resolution from the cliffhangers of his life changes he left me with. More Rees...the chant begins....Maximal Rees!”

“Based on Jean-Claude Forest’s adult French comic, Barbarella imagines a space age where sexuality isn’t considered prurient or even provocative. Jane Fonda is a 41st century’s bounty-hunting astronavagatrix hired by the Republic of Earth to save the galaxy. Will she bring the power-hungry cyberneticist Durand Durand to justice? (guess where the eighties pop group got its name).”

Stephen’s brother Paul joined on drums reigniting the Hanley Brother powerhouse rhythm section. The addition of Steve Trafford on guitar brought together these influential, former members of The Fall. The line up was completed with the addition of Irish guitarist Jason Brown.”
