U.S GIRLS

U.S. GIRLS is the moniker of Philadelphia's Meghan Remy, a chanteuse from (perhaps) the future, guiding all who choose to sail on an evocative trip through her unique

hallucinogenic soundscapes.

FEMALE BAND

are Anna and Melissa who write music aching with atmosphere. Their songs are sunk in restless samples, processing slow-sung vocals and shifting dual

guitar creep-alongs.

Creating a similar brooding intensity to Grouper in places, Female Band retain an almost elegiac punk resonance at the same time, allowing their music to follow you about and haunt all empty rooms.

GOODBYE LEOPOLD

combine the ethereal sound of three blended voices, choreography and a unique aesthetic to communicate their ideas, intrigues and passions. Their holistic approach to delivering music stimulates all the senses, recalling Liz Frazer at her most wild and worldly or Mountain Man at their glacial best. Their focus is to create

alluring atmospheres,

their work either self-composed or original arrangements of obscure songs from across the globe. They experiment with the extremities of the human voice in improvisation, adopting abstract sounds and techniques and playing with tension and release in their dynamics, at the moment Goodbye Leopold are experimenting with singing carols and sonnets in reverse, like in backwards, sdrawkcab...

MORE ON THE DOOR

OLD DOG

A night of new material from some of the countries most available magicians.
Great if the tricks work, could be even better if they go wrong.

MC'd by the brilliantly funny comedian,

Maureen Younger

Starring:
Piff the Magic Dragon

Piff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea. But it was boring. So he moved to London to find a Princess and become the Greatest Magic Performing Dragon of All Time!'

'Inspired, cute and very funny' - time out

‘One of the most magical things we’ve ever seen’ - Penn & Teller


Alan Hudson

Alan is not your average table magician.

Think of a card - he'll tell you which one you're thinking of. Think of a word - he'll read your mind. Personal objects take on a life of their own - they vanish and appear in all sorts of impossible places.


Noel Qualter

Snappy sleight of hand and Jedi mind reading tricks


Richard Pinner

IBM (International Brotherhood of Magicians) Close-Up and Stage Magician of the Year 2003 and Magic Circle Close Up winner 1999.
