APPROACHING 80: A CABARET

Lynn Ruth Miller is APPROACHING 80 and she’s pulled out the stops. Listen to outrageous comedy and song that tells it like it is and it’s all good. The best is coming and she’s determined to get it all.

What they are saying:

Lynn Ruth Miller uses the blast furnace of her life to gently boil down the huge amount of experience in the crucible of her mind to leave us all with disarming golden nuggets that threaten our ideas of what is important and remind us that each precious moment is worth wringing every drop of life out of! She shows us, vividly, that life gets better as you get older, and teaches us, in her sneaky way, that being naughty is ok…Eric Page: Theatre Feed, 2010.

Show 8.30pm & 10.30pm Price £5

Naomi Bedford

+ Jim Tarran

+ Lee Ross

+ Arthur and The Irrational

 

Autumn 2011 saw the release of the second album by Naomi Bedford. Entitled ‘Tales From The Weeping Willow’, it is a collection of dark songs, laments and murder ballads. Combining duets and original songwriting contributions from Paul Heaton and Justin Currie, plus musical contributions from such disparate talents as wyrd-folk star Alasdair Roberts, blues guitar master Kris Dollimore and producer Gerry Diver, the album blends folk and country styles and showcases the full range of Naomi’s haunting vocals.
