Louise Dearman
As a lading lady who needs no introduction, I’ll skip past my usual ‘tell me about yourself’ question, as I’m sure everyone knows who you are! Tell me about your brand new album ‘It’s Time’. What was your inspiration and how does it differ from your other albums? ‘Its Time’ is an album that i […]

Gracing the Royal Albert Hall this January, this Canadian Colossus demonstrates its excellent understanding of the body and mind, in the mystical world of Quidam.

Bloodshot
A play set on the streets on London featuring just one actor on a small stage with a minimum of props requires something of a leap of faith in the audience. So it’s testament to Douglas Post’s super script and Simon Slater’s epic, virtuoso performance that this noir thriller is a thoroughly gripping experience. In […]
