Friday 3rd June
SLOW CLUB 
7.30pm, SOLD OUT

We are delighted to welcome back Slow Club, who are touring as a two-piece, playing songs from their new album coming later in the year.

Slow Club is Sheffield boy-girl duo Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor. Sweet harmonious hooks, rockabilly beats and exuberant yelps and yips, all held together by some breath-taking harmonizing.  Slow Club are defined by their own distinct and powerful partnership - Charles with bruised vocal, rasping guitar and disarming lightness of touch; Rebecca with her dash of Northern Soul and sharp wit, switching between vocals and drums like Beyonce crossed with Karen Carpenter.

Now we find them in 2016 heading into the studio, this time with Matthew E White. Where this latest collaboration will take them is anyone's guess. But wherever they go you know it will be worth your while to follow.

VINCENT GAMBINI- 'THIS IS NOT A MAGIC SHOW'

7.30pm, ?10

This is not a magic show is a performance of and about sleight-of-hand magic: its invisible mechanics, its clich?s, and what it tells us about live theatre and make-believe. In a conversational yet crafted approach, Vincent Gambini presents astonishing close-up magic that invites us to question how enchantment and wonder are produced within a theatrical situation.

Possibly the first of its kind, Vincent Gambini's This is not a magic show is part performance-lecture, part deconstructed showbiz, and part magic tricks that leave you, like, omg.

"This thoughtful, playful and multi-layered piece. will make you question how we watch and what we see"- The Guardian ****

"An alternative low-key magic show?Quiet, deliberate and exceptionally controlled"- Time Out ****
