SUMMARY:Hebridean Treasure: Lost & Found (Relaxed Performance)
DESCRIPTION:Hebridean Treasure: Lost & Found captivatingly blends song\, dance and storytelling with live Scottish and South Asian music to conjure up the landscapes of the ancient Scottish Isles and the inhabitants’ deep connection with the rhythms of nature. A universal story of exile\, suffering and the loss of age-old wisdom\, the piece moves through grief and tragedy to bring a message of hope for a new way of life that cherishes our Celtic cultural heritage. \nThe words of John Phillip Newell and the music of critically acclaimed composer and Gaelic singer Mischa Macpherson weave around the compelling performance of Bharatanatyam dancer Kirsten Newell as they invite you into a world that was once lost but is being found once again. \nThe production is based on the work of Alexander Carmichael (1832-1912)\, a Scottish folklorist whose writings and data were brought together in the Carmina Gadelica\, a compendium of prayers\, hymns\, and folklore gathered from the Gaelic-speaking regions between 1860 and 1909. \nThe use of Bharatanatyam dance\, oral storytelling\, songs in Gaelic\, Tamil and Hindi\, and the combination of Celtic and Carnatic music\, reflects the many parallels between ancient Celtic and Vedic culture\, not only with regard to language but also the similarities in social and folk customs\, mythology and traditional musical form. \n  \nPhoto credit: Mark Richards-AuroraFindhorn

SUMMARY:Budapest Cafe Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Budapest Cafe Orchestra play a blistering barrage of traditional folk and gypsy-flavoured music from across the Balkans and Russia\, Klezmer laments\, Romanian Doinas\, Hungarian Czadas and their own unique re-imaginings of some of the biggest tunes ever written by the classical greats.  The Budapest Café Orchestra was established in 2009 by British composer and violinist\, Christian Garrick\, and led by him\, have won legions of fans with their magical and infectious performances. \nA small but impeccably formed orchestra of just four players\, the BCO combines violin\, guitar\, accordion\, double bass\, saz & balalaika to dazzling effect\, creating an awesome aural alchemy normally only characteristic of far bigger ensembles. Two of the country’s celebrated international soloists revel at the heart of proceedings. Accordionist exemplar Eddie Hession is a supreme accordion champion of Great Britain. In his illustrious career\, he has accompanied Luciano Pavarotti\, Placido Domingo\, Jose Carreras and Chris Rea.  Christian Garrick is one of the world’s most celebrated jazz violinists. He has played with the likes of Dame Cleo Laine & Sir John Dankworth\, Wynton Marsalis\, Nigel Kennedy\, Bireli Lagrene and Caro Emerald. Another member of the Orchestra is one of Russia’s most enigmatic musical exports. The Sultan is played expertly by Adrian Zolotuhin\, a master of the strummed strings of domra\, balalaika\, guitar and saz.  Veteran bass-man Kelly Cantlon has been in the business of laying down the low notes for many moons. Kelly found fame as a Vagabond with northern soul sensations Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. \nEvoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros\, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires – plus a few surprises along the way – hugely entertaining\, immense skill and profound musicianship\, a show by the BCO is good enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube!

SUMMARY:Cracked Tiles
DESCRIPTION:Powerful\, real-life-inspired\, one-man play about a son searching for his father…in a fish & chip shop. \n‘His father seemed like an ordinary\, hard-working man but Riccardo knows that somewhere in the grease-stained walls of his crumbling inheritance – a run-down fish and chip shop- the truth is hidden. However\, time is against him\, the shop is about to be sold and it won’t give its secrets up easily. Battling demented customers\, family curses\, and supernatural agents of the state\, join him on his tragicomic journey as he excavates the ruins of the family business and revisits the past to uncover the truth about his mysterious father.’ \nLorenzo is a solo creative. He studied Writing for Stage and Screen at the University of Strathclyde in 2013 and has written work for himself ever since. His shows have featured at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival\, The Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival\, MagicFest\, Carlisle Fringe\, Brighton Fringe\, Crossroads Multicultural Festival in Pisa\, and the West End Festival. \nHis work spans the genres of Storytelling\, Theatre and Magic: as well as being an Equity-registered Actor\, Lorenzo is also an accomplished Magician and member of the Magic Circle. \nHe began writing Cracked Tiles\, a theatrical monologue\, in 2015\, several years after the death of his father\, and admits that the show was initially ‘a vehicle of catharsis’. \nSince then Cracked Tiles has been intermittently staged around the UK and recently had a NEAT-funded tour in the North of Scotland. It returns for a schedule of performances in the UK and abroad over 2024 and 2025\, with a view to reaching a wider audience and a production company who will facilitate its development for TV. \nThe play is inspired by the author’s experience as a teenager when his father’s strange behaviour led to suspicion that he may be hiding dark secrets. These episodes were framed as psychotic breakdowns\, but at the time\, the notion that his father was fragile\, broken and out of touch with reality was an equally difficult pill to swallow. In this sense\, Cracked Tiles is about the mystery of a father and the confusion of a child. \nIt’s been described as ‘Bitterly honest\, powerful and moving’ (The Scotsman) but it’s not without levity: the central story is moved along with farcical comedy inspired by many of the colourful characters Lorenzo encountered during his time working in his family’s real-life fish and chip shop. Cracked Tiles is a tale imbued with authenticity: both its tragedy and its comedy. \n  \nWritten & performed by Lorenzo Novani
