Stefano Bollani 'Danish Trio'
Sat April 24th 2010 at 8.00pm
"Bollani is a phenomenon: lively and highly sensitive, playful and alert" - Matthias Inhoffen, Stereoplay
One of Europe's foremost jazz musicians, Stefano Bollani is a musician's pianist who stunned the audience at Dean Clough two years ago. He has played with the award-winning duo Jesper Bodilsen (bass) and Morten Lund (drums) for the last six years and elected to make his first ECM recording with them last year. Subtle, supple, flowing and intensely musical the material ranges from original tracks by Bollani to compositions by Caetano Veloso, Antonio Carlos Jobin and maybe even Poulenc.

Season Ticket (for April 24th, May 29th and June 17th): £36.00 via 01422 255266

The Canterbury Tales
Northern Broadsides in partnership with the New Vic Theatre
A new version of Geoffrey Chaucer’s classic by Mike Poulton
Directed by Conrad Nelson
Tues 1 Jun - Sat 5 June eves at 7.30pm
Sat 5 June - Matinee at 2.30pm
Pricing:
Tues eve and Sat mat - ALL seats £12.50
Wed & Thurs eve: £16.50 and £14.50 concs

The Tabard Inn, London, sometime in the fourteenth century and a motley group of individuals – Knight, Cook, Miller, Squire, Wife and more - gather for their pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral.
On the way, they regale each other with their colourful tales to pass the time of day, and thus unfolds one of the greatest collections of stories ever told: love stories, rude stories and farce most lewd, high romance and hidden depths, chivalry, villainy, jousting and boisterous antics, mirth and merriment, poetry and puppetry and a good dose of song and dance.
Mike Poulton’s deliciously witty adaptation – first toured by the RSC to rapturous reviews and public acclaim – reclaims The Canterbury Tales for contemporary audiences with a fresh script that simply begs to be performed. Reworked again for Northern Broadsides, The Canterbury Tales is the perfect play for this charismatic company of multi talented actors.
“the sheer dedication and drive of the company … takes your breath away, pushing you to your feet come curtain call.“ The Daily Telegraph

Tony Malaby in full blow. |

Stephane Kerecki Trio + Tony Malaby
Thur June 17th 2010 at 8.00pm
"A synthesis of African dance/trance rhythms and modern jazz and classical harmonies, a synthesis so subtle and symbiotic that to call it fusion would be to insult it" – All About Jazz
A foray into French jazz courtesy of the delightful jazz label, 'Zig Zar Territoires'. Bassist Kerecki has played with some of the biggest names on the continent and been named as one of the '125 talents of tomorrow' by Jazzman magazine. Drummer Thomas Grimmonprez is barely less conspicuous for his own projects, while saxophonist Matthieu Donarier has the unenviable task of matching Tony Malaby - a virtuosic sax player from Arizona with a near-legendary status among jazz cognoscenti. The playing is impeccable: the music is rhythmic, filmic and gloriously spikey.
Tickets: £15 / £12
Season Ticket (for April 24th, May 29th and June 17th): £36.00 via 01422 255266
