CRE Arts Café

TIM VINE

As well opening the exhibition (10am, Tue 11 Oct) top comedian and punmeister Tim Vine will be interviewed by Steve Legg, editor of Sorted magazine (11am, Arts Café). Best known for his BAFTA award-winning BBC TV Series, he has written several best-selling joke books and appeared with brother Jeremy on the celebrity version of ITV1’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire? His musical talent includes the guitar, piano and drums which he sometimes plays at his church. He made a personal decision about the Christian faith when he was ‘about 12, at a Pathfinder camp.’

JONATHAN VEIRA IN CONCERT

Less than 18 months after wife Sue donated him a kidney, opera and gospel singer Jonathan Veira will perform again at CRE National (3pm, Thu 13 Oct) – singing songs which earned him a massive following during the pandemic.

TWO LADS AND A LAPTOP IN CONCERT

Making their CRE debut (12.30pm, Tue 11 Oct and 11am, Thu 13 Oct) this threesome comprises Brazilian Nick Ingles, an accomplished cellist, Mike Roberts, a British-born electronic musician and MacBook Pro (birthplace uncertain) the natural leader as far as it is concerned – at least for the next few years until it’s replaced… but that’s confidential.

ERIC REVERENCE IN CONCERT

A popular contributor to many exhibitions, Eric Reverence (2.30pm, Tue 11 Oct) is a UK-based recording artist, worship leader and multiple award-winning singer songwriter. He has just released his latest single Miracles and is currently working on an album to be completed this year which will be followed by a tour of Africa, Europe and North America tour.

SALTMINE THEATRE CO

Using the creative arts, the Dudley-based company has been reaching people with the gospel for more than 40 years and performs at churches, schools, theatres and festivals with custom-designed sketches, national productions, issue-based theatre and workshops. Sample their approach in the Arts Café (12.30pm, Thu 13 Oct).

Nothing beats

your day at CRE!
