THE NIGHTINGALES
7.30pm, ?10

Brum's original punk group The Prefects became The Nightingales and enjoyed cult status in the 80s. Re-grouped in 2004, they've released several fantastic albums, recorded radio sessions & toured all over the UK & Europe. Current line-up features Robert Lloyd, (The Prefects), Andreas Schmid from Faust, James Smith and ex Violet Violet drummer Fliss Kitson.

"The Nightingales play a uniquely indigenous, all-encompassing brand of working class rock ?n' roll. Beneath the Beefheart lurch and the Stooges stomp you can hear football chants and northern soul, blues and bluebeat, folk song and country and western; even music hall and Frank Sinatra. Filter this through mainman Robert Lloyd's own experiences, observations, temperament and talent and you've got music that is as original as it is uncompromising"-
Ben Graham/Stool Pigeon.

Saturday 21st May
PRAMKICKER

7.30pm, ?10

Old Trunk present:

PRAMKICKER

The critically-acclaimed play by award-winning writer Sadie Hasler.
(Russell Howard's Good News, BBC's Walk On The Wild Side, Rebecca Front's Little Cracker)

Written by Sadie Hasler, directed by Sarah Mayhew, and performed by both, PRAMKICKER is a raucous poke at how society treats women who choose to remain child-free, and a tender look at how to decide before your biological clock tolls for thee.

"Let's get this over with, shall we. I had a slight situation and now they think I'm mental."

"I am the Edith fucking Piaf of the empty womb."

Meet Pramkicker.

(She kicked a pram.)

"Je ne regrettay fucking rien."

An unflinching look at what it means to be a modern woman.
