She says “Let's have children”. I know this is a historic moment. I must respond like a man. So I ignore her. “Based on The Sunday Times column, Dad Rules is a hilarious, feel good mix of stand-up and stories from Andrew Clover, Perrier Nominee and Ashes to Ashes clown” - BBC. “The Hunter S Thompson of parenting.” “Comedy tour de force *****” - Scotsman |

The recognition and popularity of Nick Drake has now reached such proportions that he will always be seen as a landmark, a beauty, a thread of creativity that will forever span the rapids of modern music. Nick recorded only three albums in his short career and has since been seen as somewhat of a mystery. At the time he was largely unnoticed, considered to be too fragile and painful to engage the wilder audiences of the early 70s. Now, more than 30 years on, Nick Drake has become the most revered of all English singer/songwriters. “An absolute must!” - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 |

“I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.” So begins Charles Dickens' beloved A Christmas Carol, a holiday classic with music, laughter and dance. |

Award-winning solo performer David Benson and his pianist invite you to join the party for a fantastically fun night of festive songs, sketches and stories. Benson will be passing around Christmas crackers, encouraging some hearty singalongs, and inviting his audience to roast their chestnuts on an open fire. (One of those three may be cancelled for safety reasons). Expect an appearance of David's alter ego, Dame Foxy Trot, in full panto regalia and with rebellious cow Daisy in tow. All in all this is a delightful panto alternative that will win over even the most determined of festive Scrooges. “Masterful comic insight... miss him at your peril” - The Independent |

Relaunched, Rejuvenated, Indefinable. Far too many artists & bands make the claim they are “indefinable”. Stackridge, however, are the epitome of such a term. Now with four of the original band back in harness Stackridge remain an exciting and inspiring mix of the sublime, the ridiculous & the simply unexpected. Superb musicianship, consummately performed with an ease, grace & humour that is quite astonishing. With appearances at major festivals during the Summer, a new album recorded, and a constant flow of fresh material from the prolific writers in the band, now more than ever is the time for the uninitiated to take their first steps to discovering this wonderful West Country band. |
