SUMMARY:LIVE : The People's String Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Res Publica \n“Res Publica” is a brand-new musical touring show from: The People’s String Foundation. During this piece the band packs a 32-piece Gypsy Orchestra into a suitcase and takes the audience on an incredible journey of discovery.

The entire piece is fresh and youthfully enthusiastic with clear production values on a classical scale. Surely these musicians and this piece are worthy of consideration for this year’s Mercury prize.” \n Ralph McTell. ****  \n“One of the great wonders of the West.

SUMMARY:LIVE: Pentabus- Jacaranda by Lorna French
DESCRIPTION:‘Sometimes it feels so exposing just walking in the village. I told Jimmy to ignore it at first\, he tried to\, but it’s isolating he said\, eyes on you\, not a word spoken. Even when you meet their eyes they don’t look away. Like they have a right to\, like you’re a spectacle\, an object.’ \nOlivia has recently moved into her great uncle’s farmhouse. She’s not local\, but she knows her way around. Matty is a gamekeeper\, but he doesn’t often tell anyone. He’s wary of newcomers. \nThese unlikely strangers find themselves beside a stream on the longest night of the year. \nPentabus and Theatre by the Lake present a brilliant new drama from award-winning playwright Lorna French which explores loss\, love\, prejudice\, race and belonging. \nTrigger Warning: The play includes descriptions of pregnancy and child loss that could possibly be upsetting or triggering for anyone who has been affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby. \nDirector: Elle While \nSuitable age 14 + \nCaptioned performance \n \n

SUMMARY:LIVE THEATRE: JABS
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIf ever a play was guaranteed to connect with every single member of your audience right now … its JABS. \nWe’ve all been on the receiving end. But what is life like at the other end of the syringe? \nWhen work fell off a cliff for the singer and comedienne Sally Tonge in March 2020\, she took the unlikely step of retraining as an NHS vaccinator. She quickly realised that her Covid-19 vaccination pod was the smallest theatre in the world … and that the procession of people stepping into it were pure comedy gold. \nJABS is played largely for affectionate laughs … with a few gentle moments of poignancy\, a smattering of new songs and a touch of audience participation (because we all know what we have to do!) \nIt’s also a love letter to the NHS. \nSally plays herself … whilst actors Christina Cubbin and Paul Wilkinson portray an assortment of 16 characters who appear in her pod for a few minutes each. \nThe play is scripted and directed by Chris Eldon Lee (BBC Radio Four producer and founder member of the veteran comedy group ‘Three Men In A Bowtie’). \nTHE CREATIVE TEAM  \nSally Tonge is a storyteller\, musician and community artist. She has been working in educational\, health and community settings for over 20 years. Past stage plays include Silhouette\, Shakespeare’s Will (which toured to Elsinore Castle in Denmark)\, Ursula\, Queen of the Jungle (in Edinburgh and India) Atlantic Ladies and Shrewsbury’s Finest Hour. She sings\, plays guitar and tells jokes in Three Men In A Bowtie and musical duo Daylevel … and is a regular artist for Music in Hospitals. \nComedy actor Christina Cubbin made her stage debut aged 9 playing Morgan le Fay in her Junior School’s critically acclaimed production of King Arthur. More recent work includes The Railway Children\, Dear Agnes\, A Bloody Field By Shrewsbury\, Tales of Old Bomere\, Atlantic Ladies\, Shrewsbury’s Finest Hour and far too many pantomimes. \nActor musician Paul Wilkinson trained at Bretton Hall\, gaining a degree in Dramatic Arts. He has worked in theatre\, television and film. His last theatre tour was outdoor Shakespeare on the south coast and prior to that he toured Germany for a year\, worked on soaps\, and did a few adverts … the worst being the one for Pringles (you think you like something until you have to eat it endlessly for two days!) \nWriter and director Chris Eldon Lee has performed 500 comedy gigs with Three Men in a Bowtie and produced at least 250 programmes for BBC Radio 4. This is his 14th play. \nMovement coach Maggie Love famously choreographed Grease in The West End. Her film credits include Fame and Heaven’s Gate. In 2012 she produced a pageant for The Queen\, who liked it!

SUMMARY:LIVE: MARTIN CARTHY
DESCRIPTION:More tickets released \n \nIF SOLD OUT EMAIL liz@sparctheatre.co.uk to go on the waiting list. \nIt’s Incredible to be able to  welcome Martin Carthy to SpArC! \nLifetime Achievement Award – BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2014 \nFor more than 50 years Martin Carthy has been one of folk music’s greatest innovators\, one of its best loved\, most enthusiastic and\, at times\, most quietly controversial of figures. His skill\, stage presence and natural charm have won him many admirers\, not only from within the folk scene\, but also far beyond it. \nTrailblazing musical partnerships with\, amongst others\, Steeleye Span\, Dave Swarbrick and his award-winning wife (Norma Waterson) and daughter Eliza Carthy have resulted in more than 40 albums\, but Martin has only recorded 10 solo albums\, of which the much anticipated Waiting for Angels (Topic TSCD527) was the latest. Whether in the folk clubs (which he continues to champion)\, on the concert stage or making TV appearances (he was the subject of the acclaimed `Originals’ music documentary strand on BBC 2) – there are few roles that Martin Carthy hasn’t played. \nHe’s a ballad singer\, a ground-breaking acoustic and electric-guitarist and an authoritative interpreter of newly composed material. He always prefers to follow an insatiable musical curiosity rather than cash in on his unrivalled position. Perhaps\, most significant of all\, are his settings of traditional songs with guitar\, which have influenced a generation of artists\, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon\, on both sides of the Atlantic. \n`Arguably the greatest English folk song performer\, writer\, collector and editor of them all’ Q Magazine \n‘Carthy is a master of the ballad of substance\, songs that tell stories\, whether they are traditional\, his own or from contemporary writers.’ The Telegraph

SUMMARY:LIVE: New Art Club - Cupid's Revenge
DESCRIPTION:In today’s disposable world where love is used to sell us everything from plug-in cars to yoghurt…where did real love go?\nThe latest dance theatre comedy show by groundbreaking performance company\, \n\n★★★★Cupid’s Revenge revels in the hilariously oppressive details of everyday life before distilling them into a breathtakingly moving gut punch. Daily Express \n\nA fine double act\, with as much endearingly mischievous dexterity as their handling of verbal humour.

SUMMARY:BLAST STORY TELLING: Kestrel Morton presents The Mountain of the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Kestrel Morton presents The Mountain of the Sun \nBLAST! at the Under Ground – Bishops Castle ( side Gate Public Hall) \nTuesday 8th November 2022 6.30pm \nAn Amazing Young Storyteller! \nA three-faced god and a golden feather\, a whispering serpent and a monk’s pilgrimage\, a sheep stealer\, a hooligan and a change of heart\, all watched over by old Granny Chaos. Kestrel Morton weaves a stitch-tongued spell of language\, enchanting all who hear it to follow its fantastical thread; into creation myths and wonder tales; through parables and into true stories\, dancing on the sharp knife edge between warnings and wonder in the wild world beyond the world. \n“Kestrel is a dynamic and passionate performer with a unique vision. A must-see!” -Daniel Morden \nLike a magpie’s nest full of shiny trinkets this story is expertly and subtly woven from a wide blend of sources; from traditional folk tales to anecdotes heard at parties; from daydreams in old ruins to visions in a dancer’s steps; this patchwork of narratives is sewn together with a needle of language so fine that the finished fabric appears whole and completely stitch-less. \n“For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT John Kirkpatrick - Carolling & Crumpets
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT!\nPlease email liz@sparctheatre.co.uk to go on the waiting list for tickets. \nWe are delighted to welcome John to SpArC Theatre. \nTaking its title from John’s unforgettable song telling the Nativity story from the point of view of the animals in the stable\, this show is a heart-warming look at the timeless rituals found in the folklore and folk music of England at Midwinter. \nThis is also the official Launch of John’s new Album- Joy & Jubilation out on Fledg’ling Record Featuring members of Castle Carols who will join him on stage in the second half of the show and you can pick up a copy of the new record. \nJohn peels away the commercial gloss of modern Christmas to reveal the powerful pagan urges that race through us all at this time of year\, and the life and death struggle that is symbolised in so many traditional songs and customs. \nAnd if that all sounds just a little too intense\, then rest assured that the mysterious and murky goings-on in these magical songs of wassailing\, wren-hunting\, stirring the fire\, and incessant feasting\, all come dressed up in a glittering finery of toe-tapping tunes and cracking choruses. Add to the mixture a light-hearted smattering of hilarious original songs\, a sprinkling of carols both familiar and unfamiliar\, all stirred up with John’s usual panache and energy\, and supported by his scintillating skill on a variety of squeeze-boxes\, and you have an unbeatable recipe for having a rattling good sing\, guaranteed to keep the spirits cheery and the cold at bay. \n  \nA BIT ABOUT JOHN KIRKPATRICK \nJohn Kirkpatrick was born in London\, joined The Hammersmith Morris Men as a twelve-year-old in 1959\, and has been dancing\, singing\, and playing his way round the English Folk Scene ever since. Becoming a virtuoso on various squeeze-boxes\, he’s worked in all kinds of groups\, bands\, and duos\, as well as extensively in the theatre. Widely respected as one of the foremost champions of English Traditional Music in all its forms\, he is also a prolific creator of new work – whether songs\, tunes\, or The Shropshire Bedlams. John was awarded lifetime membership of The International Concertina Association in 2002\, the English Folk Dance and Song Society’s Gold Badge in 2003\, and last year was appointed an MBE for his contribution to English Folk Music.

SUMMARY:LIVE MUSIC: SIROM
DESCRIPTION:Širom Slovenian ‘imaginary folk’ instrumental trio. Handmade and global instrumentation meets fearless sound exploration \nThe intertwining of diverse musical approaches and tools\, histories of sounds and unbridled musical imagination and craftmanship is the expansive guiding principle of the Širom trio\, whose members stem from the regions of Prekmurje\, Tolminsko and Kras. \nMore than a dozen instruments can be found in the repertoire of Iztok Koren\, Samo Kutin and Ana Kravanja and at least as many given musical forms that can be perceived as an inspiration behind the character of this new ensemble. However\, in their practice as well as experiencing they remain anchored in their creative process to an extent that allows them to avoid merely reflecting existing patterns. What this generates in an original\, stylistically homogeneous form of expression that oscillates between a wide array of folk sounds and contemporary acoustic rock-style meditations. The end result is grounded yet still mystical minimalism. Širom’s music is contemplative\, but can get harder when necessary\, it is closer to being band- than chamber-like\, to being street as opposed to urban in nature. \nEach member of Širom also performs in a myriad of other bands and music projects\, such as ŠKM banda\, Hexenbrutal\, Najoua\, Samo Gromofon\, and Horda grdih.
