CarmenCo perform Spanish and Spanish inspired music as a play, with costumes, props and a storyline that roughly follows the story of Bizet's opera Carmen, but told from her point of view. Dare you consult the cards with her? What does she think of the men in her story? Did she foresee her gruesome ending? And does she like the opera Bizet wrote for her?
The prizewinning trio of Emily Andrews, flautist/mezzo, David Massey and Francisco Corroa, guitars, will have the audience in turn laughing out loud and listening in silence to the immersive and evocative music; a brilliantly accessible and fun way to present classical music.
Tickets £16.60 including a £1 booking fee added at checkout.
Cabaret style seating downstairs, church pews in the balcony. Doors and bar open 45 minutes before the show starts.

A Sons of Town Hall show is more than a concert, it's an immersive experience unlike any other. American songwriter/author David Berkley 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 is 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 incluing £1 booking fee added at checkout.
