What’s On @The Y
Welcome to The Y
SEPTEMBER 2015
Welcome to The Y’s Autumn Season!
Tues 1
As the nights begin to draw in and temperatures take a tumble, The Y can offer an array of treats to bring a little sunshine back to your lives. We have uplifting comedy from Doc Brown and Patrick Kielty and music from Sally Barker. In November we invite you to step back in time, Marty McFly style, for our Enchantment Under the Sea Dance with The Waletones. Festivals are filling up our programme this season. Bedtime Stories is supported by the Everybody’s Reading Festival in September. Holy and Horny features as part of Black History Month in October. 14/48:UK will produce a staging of John Godber’s famous play Up’n’Under, as our contribution to The Festival of Rugby. As usual we don’t like to do things the easy way so this will be a Theatre Anonymous production, where nobody knows who the cast are, not even the cast! And no season would be complete without our 14/48 Leicester Festival, which is going from strength to strength. Heading into the festive season we’ll be celebrating with our Comedy Christmas Special for the grown-ups, Santa’s Little Helper for our younger audiences (and the grown-ups, let’s face it!), and The Y’s Christmas Carol Service. As always there are ways for you to get involved, through Emergency! our open access arts showcase, our brand new monthly Open Mic sessions and our Script Clinic for budding writers. Check out the back page for more ideas. Enjoy, and don’t be a stranger!

Nérija began from a Tomorrow’s Warriors initiative to provide young female musicians with their own space to develop together.

Drawing on the classic sound of 50s and 60s hard bop recordings, Osian Roberts and Steve Fishwick’s long standing partnership has produced a number of exciting records since its formation in 2002, including a collaboration with the late great pianist Cedar Walton and a recent sextet album recorded after a week long stint at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola in New York City.

Alan Barnes / Tony Kofi Quintet Wed 18 Nov, 8pm, £14/£12 NUS Tony Kofi (alto saxophone), Alan Barnes (alto saxophone), John Turville (piano), Adam King (double bass), Rod Youngs (drums). Needing no introduction at Leicester Jazz House, both Alan Barnes and Tony Kofi are firmly established in the top tier of the British jazz saxophonists. A winner of countless awards, Alan Barnes has been a stalwart of the British jazz scene since the 1980s and a veteran of countless big and small bands, with a huge number of broadcast and recording credits to his name. Tony Kofi’s jazz career has taken him from the East Midlands to an international career performing with Andrew Hill, Harry Connick Jr, Abdullah Ibrahim and the World Saxophone Quartet. Tony has also become well known as one of the leading interpreters of the music of Thelonious Monk.

While perhaps best known as head of jazz at Trinity College of Music, Simon’s 2014 debut album comes after a long career at the top flight as a jazz performer and has met universal acclaim. The remainder of the group are all highly respected musicians, composers and educators in their own right and with the addition of top vocalist Liane Carroll, can lay claim to being six of the most scintillating performers in the UK today.
Scott Hamilton Quartet Wed 20 Jan, 8pm, £14/£12 NUS Scott Hamilton (tenor saxophone), John Pearce (piano), Dave Green (double bass), Steve Brown (drums). Making a welcome return to Leicester, tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton is perhaps the world’s best-loved mainstream jazz saxophonist.

Children & Families Bedtime Stories
Sat 24 Oct, 8pm, £7/£5 conc An eclectic mix of autobiographical, kaleidoscopic and very funny monologues, evocative dance, originally composed soundscape and prismatic, three dimensional, digital scenery are harmoniously juxtaposed to tell the story of a life journey. One that charts the physical distance and emotional exploration of an intrepid young protagonist, escaping her family and her society’s restrictive predilections. Liberating herself from the place she calls home, we venture with her as she dreams, dances and discovers the true meaning of the human condition of happiness. Performer and comedienne Ishi Khan’ latest work is narrated with passion, poignancy and a healthy dose of humour. This life affirming story touches on the ability of the individual to change circumstances and to challenge conventions.
