You are guaranteed a feel-good evening with their flying finger-work and percussive playing as they seamlessly blend classical, rock and pop with flamenco. They will transport you from Spain to Italy, the Camargue and Mexico with maybe a bit of Hollywood thrown in.

You'll hear tunes you know in ways you don't as well as some of their own compositions.   Some slower emotional tunes will let you catch your breath amongst all that energy.  And then, in the blink of an eye, it's their amazing version of Sultans of Swing and your feet are tapping again.

Come and see what the buzz is about on one of their rare trips to Devon and you will leave the Auditorium smiling from ear to ear.  

Nobody ever forgets the shock and thrill of seeing them play live for the first time.

Angeline Morrison

Angeline is one of the freshest voices in English folk music today, celebrated for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances. Her artistry has earned standing ovations on stages large and small, with Mojo ranking her #5 among key voices of 2023.

A singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Angeline’s music explores ordinary lives with reverence and curiosity. Accompanying herself on autoharp, dulcimer, and mbira, or singing unaccompanied, she delivers performances that linger long in memory. The Birmingham born-musician is now settled in Cornwall, where she is an active figure in the local music scene.

Her groundbreaking album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience, released on Topic Records, illuminated the often-overlooked Black British presence within the folk canon. Hailed as The Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year, it spent 15 weeks in the Top 40 Official Folk Albums Chart and is described by Angeline as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community.

In recent years, Angeline has performed at major festivals, including Glastonbury, Sidmouth, and End of the Road, and made her TV debut on Later With Jools Holland during Black History Month 2022, singing Unknown African Boy. She is also sought after for radio appearances on BBC Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio 6 Music.

“Morrison's courage in reconstructing folk repertoire is truly revolutionary. A ground-breaking album”

New Internationalist

“Morrisons gorgeous voice and autoharp render the likes of ‘Unknown African Boy’ as instant folk classic”

Lady Nade Sings Nina Simone

With nominations for Artist of the Year at the AMAUK Awards in 2023 and a Song of the Year win at the UK Americana Awards in 2022, Lady Nade stands as one of the UK’s most distinctive voices.

Recognised as one of Bristol’s Most Influential Women in 2022 by Bristol Live, she’s an award-winning songstress of extraordinary calibre.

Lady Nade’s music defies easy categorization, blending Folk, Americana, Soul, Jazz, Blues, and Roots, into a captivating tapestry. Her compositions explore themes of love, friendship, loss, and hope, resonating with a global audience. Each song is a work of art, accompanied by a recipe crafted to mirror each of her song’s essence.

Her illustrious career spans three impactful albums, earning acclaim from esteemed publications like Folk Radio, Americana UK, and The Guardian. Lady Nade’s latest release, ‘Willing,’ soared on both the official Folk and Americana charts.

In her forthcoming album, Lady Nade collaborates with Ivor Novello artist Boo Hewerdine, delving into themes of self-expression, community, vulnerability, and mental health. Producer Archie Sylvester of Ferris and Sylvester, 2020 winners of the Bob Harris Emerging Artist of the Year, brings this project to life.

Lady Nade’s performances are transformative experiences, where audiences come together to celebrate community and togetherness through her music. Her tracks find a home on esteemed radio shows, including BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe – The Folk Show and Cerys Matthews – Blues Show, among others. But her impact goes beyond music. She’s a tireless advocate for musicians’ rights, serving as a patron for the Music Venue Trust and an ambassador for the Musician’s Union Census. Additionally, Lady Nade actively supports charities, using her music to aid women recovering from breast cancer, children facing life-threatening illnesses, and individuals dealing with dementia. Her commitment to health and well-being is woven into every facet of her work.

Lady Nade has graced stages worldwide, sharing them with luminaries like Tunde from The Lighthouse Family, PP. Arnold, The War and Treaty, Spiers and Boden and Grammy Award-Nominated Artists Yola and Allison Russell. Her upcoming performance with the legendary Waterboys at The Forum, Bath, is a testament to her enduring impact and artistry. For those drawn to Yola, Amethyst Kiah, Allison Russell, and other legends like Joan Armatrading, KT Tunstall, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, Lady Nade’s music is a perfect fit.

Running Time: 1 hour and 57 minutes (Not including Interval)

Suitable for ages 14+ (Contains mature content) Making a Killing by Ben Kernow

The ropes are ready, the crowd is waiting, and the hangman has a new apprentice. When Claus Kohler is apprenticed to Frantz Schmidt, Nuremberg’s seasoned executioner, the two men are thrown together in a world where duty, morality, and power collide, and every decision leaves a mark. But as the gallows fill and suspicion takes root, their fates become dangerously entwined, until both must decide who they are, and which side of the rope they stand on.

Performed by just two actors, Making a Killing is a razor-sharp, dark comedy about justice, corruption, and the cost of survival in a world disturbingly like our own. Bold, biting, and impossible to ignore, the play takes inspiration from The Journal of Master Frantz Schmidt, Public Executioner of Nuremberg, 1573–1617. A remarkable historical record that lays bare the humanity and contradictions of a man who killed for a living.

Audience Feedback

“Absolutely brilliant! Mega talented actors and fantastic script. Highly recommend”

“The performance was absolutely fantastic.

A Big-Hearted Celebration of Community, Family and the Power of a Proper Pint from the writers, directors and producers of box office smash hit films Finding Your Feet and Fisherman’s Friends.

Set in a struggling local pub at the heart of a divided community. Mother’s Pride follows a grieving family whose fortunes begin to change when they start brewing their own beer and take a chance on entering the Great British Beer Awards. What begins as an act of survival becomes a journey of renewal — bringing together neighbours, mending old wounds and restoring pride where it’s been lost.

Led by a standout cast including Jonno Davies, James Buckley, Gabriella Wilde, Luke Treadaway and Miles Jupp, alongside Josie Lawrence, Stephen Leask, Emily Lloyd-Saini and Karl Collins, with Mark Addy and Martin Clunes completing the stellar line-up

The Royal Opera

SIEGFRIED [New Production]

Sung in German with subtitles

Raised by a scheming dwarf and unaware of his true family origins, a young man embarks on an epic journey. Soon, destiny brings him face-to-face with a shattered sword, a fearsome dragon and the cursed ring it guards, and a Valkyrie forced into enchanted slumber...

Moments of transcendent beauty and heroic triumph sparkle in the third chapter of Wagner’s Ring cycle, brought to life under Barrie Kosky’s inspired eye following his spectacular Das Rheingold (2023) and Die Walküre (2025). Andreas Schager, in his much-anticipated debut with The Royal Opera, stars as Siegfried’s titular hero, alongside Christopher Maltman’s towering Wanderer, Peter Hoare’s treacherous Mime and Elisabet Strid’s radiant Brünnhilde. Antonio Pappano conducts, drawing out the unspoken tensions and ethereal mysticism of Wagner’s dynamic score.

We know so little of the world beneath our feet. To most, it is a place of only fear and darkness, though to a brave few, it is one of knowledge and wonder to be found nowhere else.

Based on the bestselling book by Robert Macfarlane, UNDERLAND is a cinematic documentary that voyages into worlds rarely glimpsed by human eyes. Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, we travel alongside several ‘astronauts of the underworld’ into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers, and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe.

Narrated by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller and with a uniquely poetic approach, UNDERLAND is a deep dive into the Earth that ultimately presents a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.
