My Order

The Concert Band of Britannia Royal Naval College are returning to The Flavel Theatre for an afternoon Spring Concert, starting at 3 pm. A matinee has proved a very favourite time of day, after the cold winter nights, dark evenings, come out of the theatre into daylight.

Book your tickets from the Flavel box office and enjoy an afternoon of musical entertainment.

Sunday 22nd March

Tickets £16.00 

Come and learn to play a traditional West African Djembe rhythm - No experience necessary! Starting from scratch, through games and activities, you will learn fundamental techniques in order to create uplifting, authentic rhythms. As a group, we will create a polyrhythmic montage of sound using a range of instruments including djembes, dun dun bass drums, bells and shakers. Expect BIG Beats, Big Breaks and most of all Big smiles!

Each workshop is unique and comes with access to digital resources and a recording of our final piece.

£15 Adults per session or buy 3 and pay £12.50 per session.

The family sessions are £15 per person including one child and then £5 per extra child.

Renowned virtuoso acoustic guitarists, Duo Destino, bring their unique Flamenco Fusion style of play to Dartmouth for the very first time. 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.

Although classically trained they love the exuberance of The Gypsy Kings and dazzle audiences across England, France and Spain with their talent.

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.

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.
