Events on Wednesday 11th September

“This exciting new adaptation of Jean Paul Satre's No Exit is a thoroughly modern take on a classic play, and brought to us by The Scullions Neoterics. Learn the secrets we hold deep and the lengths we go to to get what we desire in desperate times. What we hold dearest becomes meaningless when we're faced with those that would torment us and we've all the time in the world.”

“Bristol trio Jesuits blur borders utilising a blend of gothic-rock, trap, shoegaze and experimental ambience, with a minimalist approach that embraces influence from both ancient classical music and modern club cultures. Creating trance-like states from groove based aesthetics, Jesuits utilise ethereal drones and minimal rhythms to create a blank canvas for hypnotic noise, choral melody and pulsing patterns. Alongside curating and performing at their own successful Virtue nights featuring eclectic and diverse lineups, Jesuits also performed with acts as varied as Kahn, Ariel Pink, Giant Swan, King Gizzard, Silver Waves & Wand, as well as touring with Telegram in the UK.”

“STEVE LAMACQ BBC 6 MUSIC With a string of top 40 hit singles and albums in the 1990s, epic pop pioneers, My Life Story received huge critical acclaim with their brand of grand, orchestral pop, leading many artists of the Britpop era to feature them on their records. Heading up this clever, witty and beautiful wall of sound is the charismatic frontman Jake Shillingford, famous for his sharp tongue and even sharper suits. Vocalist and songwriter Shillingford has cowritten and coproduced the highly anticipated album ‘World Citizen’ alongside guitarist Nick Evans creating a new and distinctly rockier sound.”

“On 9 June 1817 Jeremiah Brandreth assembles a crew of protesters in a pub near Nottingham. Their plan is to march on London, overthrow the government, wipe out the National Debt and end poverty forever. What Jeremiah doesn’t know is that there is a spy in his ranks with other ideas…”

“KEVIN FIGES returns to Fringe Jazz with his wonderful 'STANDARDS QUARTET'. A band dedicated to the exploration of the great 'jazz standard' - those truly memorable compositions, famous popular songs and Broadway show tunes that jazz musicians have used as inspiration for improvisation through every period in the development of the music we call jazz. The band features two of Kevin's long-time collaborators the brilliant bassist Riaan Vosloo and the excellent Mark Whitlam on drums plus the extaordinary keyboard wizard Dan Moore. Expect an evening of beautiful tunes with a good helping of inspired reinvention, deconstructed harmonies and subtly tweaked melodies.”
