TANGO TANGO
Saturday 18th October
8.00pm
Award-winning musician and author, Justin Pearson, has created "Tango Tango", a show that transports its audience into the world of Buenos Aires and that strictly passionate, and most intimate of dances, the Tango.
The great genius of the medium, Astor Piazzolla, is depicted as a passionate composer, an outsider who fought, connived and survived for his music. Alongside actor Patrick Lannigan, are five great musicians, "Tango Volcano" ("These guys are magnificent!" BBC London Radio) and two dancers. The melancholy voice of the bandoneon provides the authentic sound of the tango, and includes some of the great tangos from the 'Golden Era'. Tango carries with it a sexy and sophisticated image, and has evolved from the many "salons", both in Argentina and abroad. This thriving underworld dances through the night in hidden clubs but in this show, explodes with colour and movement that is simply irresistible.
Tickets: £16.00

WINSTON THE SINGING FARMER
Friday 3rd October

Winston, 'the Singing Farmer', is Benny Hill in a Barbour, serving up the sort of material that might make a milkmaid blush and most audiences laugh. He has a naughtiness that has largely disappeared now, which makes this show even more of a treat.
Winston ‘The Original Singing Farmer’ is one of East Anglia’s favourite entertainers. Renowned for his one-man shows, his singing and humour has won him a following from fans all over the world. Winston’s light-hearted songs are based on everyday events and life in the country as it is now and as it was, not so long ago, and are great fun for young and old alike.
