A Sons of Town Hall show is more than a concert, it's an immersive experience unlike any other. American songwriter/author David Berkeley and British songwriter/ producer Ben Parker are the men beneath the hats in this transatlantic folk duo. They are also stars of the hilarious radio-theatre podcast series Madmen Cross the Water.

Sons of Town Hall are creating an entirely new performance genre: part live concept album, part performance art; the pair conjure their timeless mythic universe under the aliases Joshua Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, 19th century vagabonds who travel the world in a hand-built boat to escape troubled pasts and search for adventure and love.

The Sons weave wild stories between their heartbreaking and rousing songs, taking audiences on a deeply imaginative trip every show. For fans of Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Waites and Monty Pytoin alike, concertgoers are uplifted and inspired, transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall's harmonies, and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition.

Tickets £18

Cabaret style seating in the main auditorium, church pews in the balcony. Doors and bar open 45 minutes before the show starts.

Angels are everywhere at Christmas: we sing of them in carols, send cards showing them in glory and even put them on top of our trees. For centuries, artists have put them at the centre of paintings and sculpted them into vivid reality to create some of the most beautiful and celebrated images in history. But why are angels so important in art?

This special event, hosted by local artist Barbara Curry, looks at the role that angels have in our culture, especially at Christmas.

When and where did artists first start painting and sculpting winged deities and messengers?  Why did early Christian angels have no wings? And why were they all men to begin with?

Join us at the Izzy on November 30 for this fascinating talk. Donations on the door (£5 suggested) with tea, coffee and mince pies to follow.

Angels in Art starts at 3pm. Doors open at 2.30pm.

Agatha Appleton and the Peril of the Pyramids....

....three actors, one mummy and no clue!

It’s the early 1930s and librarian Agatha Appleton finds herself embroiled in a hilarious Egyptian adventure that will test her courage, her wits, and her heart.

Can our hero outsmart her enemies and uncover the mysteries of the ancient world? Or will she fall victim to the deadly traps and curses that guard the Mummy’s tomb?

Highly acclaimed Rain or Shine make their Isbourne Arts debut with this sparkling piece of comedy theatre. From the team that gave you ‘Around The World in 80 Days’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes and The Music Hall Mystery’ comes a good old-fashioned slice of Archaeological adventure heavily laced with their trademark silliness.

Join Rain or Shine at Isbourne Arts for an evening of side-splitting spills and thrills in a theatrical tour-de-force for all the family.

Tickets £17 standard and £9.50 under 16

Tickets for the main auditorium only are also available direct from Rain or Shine - phone 0330 660 0541 10.30am - 7pm to book

Emily Andrews (flutes) and David Massey (guitars) reach down into their tangled musical roots to create their own unique and imaginative instrumental arrangements of traditional Christmas carols and folk songs from all over the British Isles.

Well-loved carols and seasonal songs are recast with influences from country, world music and folk, including the Coventry Carol on haunting solo flute and Silent Night with shimmering high guitar harmonics above the alto flute's gentle lullaby.

Carols will be interspersed with British folk music from the Duo's acclaimed album 'from the roots....new branches', including well loved favourites like Molly Malone, Dance to your Daddy and Bold Grenadier.

Emily and David are two of the CarmenCo Trio who performed their wonderful A Pocket Opera at the Izzy back in April.
