SUMMARY:Greet + Dawn Terry + Aster
DESCRIPTION:GREET\n\n\nFormer DAWN RAY’D drummer Matthew Broadley blends traditional folk with heavy\, looming and ever-present harmonium drone. This is apocalyptic doom that channels the untamed Yorkshire landscape through an eerie\, hushed and introspective lens to deliver moving\, ritualistic live performances.\n\n\n\nDAWN TERRY\n\n\nFour-time Roadburn alumna Dawn Terry is a mainstay of the UK underground. One of the most arresting and enveloping performers around; a visceral tour de force of other/worldly folk drones and a voice that simultaneously haunts and harrows. Wyrd folk meets murder ballads. Utterly compelling.\n\n\n\nASTER\n\n\nAster are poets and experimental soundmakers Alex Keramidas and Catherine Norris. Their practice is informed by perpetual choirs\, sacrificial stones\, and top of the pops. Full length cassette ‘Party Down The Hall’ available now on Sacred Tapes.

SUMMARY:Rendlesham - pub lunch and full guided tour
DESCRIPTION:A coach trip from London to Rendlesham Forest with audio commentary\, pub lunch and a full guided tour of the mysterious 1980 UFO sightings. An experience that takes you into the silent beauty of the Suffolk woods\, from the present day to the height of the Cold War\, from the everyday to the uncanny. \nThe truth about the incidents that took place in Rendlesham Forest in December 1980 may never be known. They have since drifted into the mists of folklore and the mythological fog of war\, and have been described as ‘Britain’s Roswell’. \nBut something truly unusual did happen. Many United States Air Force personnel from the nearby twin bases at RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters witnessed phenomena none of them could explain. The official memo spoke of ‘unexplained lights’ – UFOs was too emotive a term – but\, as later emerged\, there was much more to it than that. \nMaster storytellers Minimum Labyrinth have created an experience that takes you on a trip from London to the silent beauty of the Suffolk woods\, from the present day to the height of the Cold War\, from the everyday to the uncanny. Whether you want to believe or you are resolutely sceptical\, within the remarkable events we find a story of our own fears and compulsions.

SUMMARY:Ed Byrne: No Dramas
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest names in comedy\, Ed Byrne\, returns with a brand-new show and absolutely No Dramas as he hits the road in 2027. \nIn his last show\, Ed delved deep into his most personal material\, looking at how humour is defined by Tragedy Plus Time. It was also his most successful\, named Best Reviewed Show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 and going on to tour for almost two years to sell-out crowds\, often returning to a venue to play a second or even third time. \nReturning to what he does best – finding the funny in anything and everything\, Ed just wants to live a life free of hassles or drama. He feels he’s earned it\, but the world has other plans for him. Come\, hear the conquistador of petty gripes air his grievances with a world hell-bent on irritating the bejeezus out of us all and\, who knows\, perhaps it will make you feel better about your own bouts of impotent rage. \nA renowned comedian/presenter and actor\, Ed’s TV career is now in its third decade and he has regularly appeared on the likes of QI\, Mock The Week and its recent reboot on TLC\, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled\, The Pilgrimage\, Dara and Ed’s Road to Mandalay\, Dara & Ed’s Big Adventure\, The Graham Norton Show and Have I Got News For You\, as well as hosting Live At The Apollo and Comic Relief Bake Off. He’s been a contestant on BBC One’s Celebrity Best Home Cook (where he made it to show 5 out of 8 – not bad!) and Celebrity Bridge of Lies and Channel 5’s Celebrity Puzzling\, and he has also won (yes\, won!) celebrity versions of both The Chase and Pointless! He can often be heard on the radio and most recently guested on Frank Skinner’s One Person Found This Helpful and Chris McCausland’s You Heard It Here First\, both on Radio 4. He is also set to perform his ‘best of’ show\, The Story So Far\, in Norway\, Finland\, Iceland and Denmark this summer. \n  \nKnown for his passion for the outdoors (hill walking and mountaineering are major hobbies)\, Ed can be seen turning his presenting skills to factual broadcasting in BBC Two’s Volcano Live\, World’s Most Dangerous Roads (where he spent two weeks driving through Siberia) and Into The Wild with Gordon Buchanan.

DESCRIPTION:The Ian Gillan team are proud to announce that Ian will be touring the UK in the spring of 2027 with his ‘Talking Gib’rish Tour’.  This very special series of live speaking events will allow audiences to hear personal stories from Ian’s remarkable life and career in music. \nFrom his childhood in Hounslow to the global rise of Deep Purple\, Ian will reflect on the experiences\, music and outlook on life that shaped one of rock’s most influential careers. The tour offers a rare chance to hear directly from a true music icon. \nIan Gillan’s career now spans more than six decades\, with his voice remaining one of the most distinctive and celebrated on the global stage.  He joined his first band\, The Javelins\, in 1962\, then teamed up with Roger Glover in Episode Six in 1965. Touring with Dusty Springfield and performing across Europe and the Middle East helped shape his musicianship and distinctive vocal style. \nIn 1969\, Ian joined Deep Purple in what became one of the pivotal moments in rock history. Formed in 1968\, Deep Purple are pioneers of hard rock. Their 1972 album Machine Head includes the iconic track Smoke on the Water\, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential bands of the music genre. \nIn 1970\, Ian took on the role of Jesus Christ in the original London studio recording of Jesus Christ Superstar for MCA Records\, earning acclaim for his powerful and emotive interpretation. Throughout the late 1970’s and 1980s\, he continued to break new ground with Gillan\, Garth Rockett and the Moonshiners and Repo Depo. \nThe ‘Talking Gib’rish Tour’ will offer fans a rare opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes stories from Ian in his own words…candid\, humorous\, and unfiltered. \nIan said\, “I am quivering with anticipation at the prospect of embarking on my first ever public speaking engagements…The TALKING GIB’RISH Tour\, in April/May 2027. I’ll be covering a lot of ground\, from my early days in Hounslow to whatever might have happened on the latest World Tour with my beloved Deep Purple…and maybe something funky in-between. \nAfter 65 years on the road\, there will be stories about some of the fascinating and sometimes magical events and people that I’ve encountered along the trail. \nIt’s going to be a blast!” \nThere will be shows in London on: \nFriday 30th April – London Union Chapel \nSaturday 29th May – London Cadogan Hall \nThe UK tour will begin in April 2027 and continue throughout May.
