Bassie Gracie is a punk performance poet known for her musings as a musician, feel good feminism and general silliness. Her show combines jokes, anecdotes and rhyming couplets, intended to inspire, amuse and excite.
St. Mary's Observatory is a psychedelic Marian jam band orbiting the Cantigas de Santa Maria — King Alfonso the Wise's extraordinary 13th-century collection of 420 songs to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Medieval melodies collide with drones, reeds and strings opening strange portals between devotional music, folk tradition, improvisation and the present.
Unruly Duet are Sam Bailey (piano) and David Leahy (double bass) who play old jazz tunes with joy and respect and anarchy, playfully revisiting their musical pasts with mischief and freedom.
Philip Bedford is a composer for (and world authority on) handbells.
This Autumn season is kindly supported by public funding from Arts Council England.
