rhythm & blues AT MILLFIELD

The Blues band Thursday 15 September 7.45pm Tickets: £24 | £23 Online

Paul Jones, Dave Kelly, Rob Townsend, Gary Fletcher and Tom McGuiness The individual members of The Blues Band were already held in admiration by generations of rhythm & blues fans when they formed back in 1979. Almost two and a half decades and over 16 albums later they continue to add to their growing army of followers.

The band are today acknowledged as being amongst the very finest purveyors of rhythm & blues. They have inspired numerous other blues bands, many of which have come and gone …The Blues Band have remained a constant, increasingly popular fixture, however, and all with only a modicum of help from the

10

record business – as Gary’s oft quoted comment states “the music industry doesn’t bother us and we don’t bother them.”

Such successful musical mavericks are fairly rare and are borne more from word-ofmouth than promotional hype. These boys have real feel – for their music, for their audience and for each other. Playing with maturity and passion, which are the very base and roots of rock & roll.

So here they are, as enthusiastic as ever Britain’s finest, most skilled practitioners in the art of the blues. The Blues Band. www.thebluesband.net

Metamorphosis / Oluwa O

by Franz Kafka

Sunday 20 & Saturday 26 November 7.30pm Tickets: £14 | £12 concessions Adaptation /direction by Nick Pelas In the original Gregor Samsa is a travelling salesman until, that is, the day he wakes up as a gigantic insect. So begins Berkoff’s exploration of Kafka’s surreal tale. In a world where money and work are God, this play reminds us the human spirit should not be taken for granted.

This very ‘different’ adaptation of Kafka’s classic is set in a Yoruba village, where young Abeni wakes up to find she has changed into a locust... Kafka’s nightmare story remains intact but this production is full of twists, turns, magic and a message for us all. The West African setting proves to be fertile ground for Metamorphosis: Kafka’s magical realism seamlessly slotting into West African culture. www.viewsfromthegods.co.uk
