SUMMARY:Music: Gabriel Moreno & El Hall
DESCRIPTION:Masters of their crafts\, Moreno (Spain) and Hall (UK) are songwriter-poets born two weeks apart\, hermanos you might say. Gabriel Moreno (cultural ambassador for Gibraltar\, Spain) and El Hall (founder of mental health and music organisation Mind Your Music\, Bristol\, UK) are both outstanding songwriters and entertainers\, each with one foot in Spain and one here in the UK. \nWith countless published books of poetry under his belt along with multiple album releases\, charismatic and larger-than-life Moreno – currently living in London – is selling out shows all over the country. Often accompanied by friends on violin or clarinet\, he woos the audience with tales of ‘bohemia’\, foot stomping and hip shaking\, and it is impossible not to get swept up and sing along. \n  \n‘An offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Dimaond. I love it!’ Cerys Matthews Radio 6 \nFamously making the leap ‘from psychiatric ward to the concert hall’ Hall spent many younger years battling significant demons. He now runs mental health and music organisation Mind Your Music\, helping others to do the same. Although born and bred in the UK\, Hall – often touted to be ‘UK’s answer to Bob Dylan’ – is a self-taught Spanish speaker interested in flamenco music and\, like Moreno\, the poetry of Lorca\, and this shows in his music. Powerful\, romantic\, beautiful and shocking\, his words and melodies will stay with you long after the show. \n‘Congratulations\, this is the best set of songs I’ve ever been asked to review.’ Alex Lee Thompson\, NME journalist \n  \n

SUMMARY:Jazz: Dave Jones Quintet - 2 Down and 1 Across
DESCRIPTION:Following the quintet’s previous projects ‘A Hole in One’ and ‘A Hole in Two’\, they now have a new project for 2026 – ‘2 Down and 1 Across’ featuring new interpretations of tunes from Songbook\, arguably the finest album by Kenny Garrett\, alongside new and not so new tunes by pianist/composer Dave Jones. \nThe opening tune of Garrett’s Songbook album\, ‘2 Down and 1 Across’\, gives a dramatic start to arguably his finest album\, bringing together a particularly strong set of compositions and one of his finest line-ups featuring the late great pianist Kenny Kirkland and Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts on the drums. The Dave Jones Quintet will be interpreting a handful of Garrett tunes from Songbook (plus an additional one by Kirkland)\, alongside compositions new and old from Jones. \nDave also composes music for TV\, and has had numerous placements of tracks in productions in the US (‘The Big Bang Theory’\, ‘The Today Show’\, The US Open Golf Tournament)\, in Japan (NHK news and current affairs)\, and the UK (‘University Challenge’\, ‘Location\, Location\, Location’\, ‘Alan Carr’s Adventures with Agatha Christie’\, and many others). \n“Scintillating horn interplay that mixed fire with subtlety\, qualities that Jones also brought to a sparkling piano solo” (JazzMann\, live review 2023). “Solid and deep-delving swing\, especially when the band switched straight into fifth gear\, as on ‘Chief Blackwater’ “ (Jazz Journal\, live review 2023). \nSaxophonist Ben Waghorn is one of Bristol’s finest players with a national reputation – he has worked in London’s West End and on many pop\, TV and film recordings. He has been involved in a range of projects with Keith Tippett\, including ‘Tapestry’\, a piece written by Keith for two saxophone quartets and the BBC singers\, the quartet ‘Work in Progress’ and The Keith Tippett Octet. He can also be heard on recordings with Geoff Eales and Dave Stapleton [Slowly Rolling Camera]. Ben has also recently performed with the BBC Big Band and played in Singapore with the London Concert Orchestra. \nTrumpeter Andy Hague is well known as leader of his own quintet\, Double Standards quartet and Horace Silver tribute Silverado. He also frequently appears at the club on drums. \nBassist Ashley John Long is revered for his astonishing technique\, and alongside his jazz career has a growing reputation as a contemporary classical composer. \nDrummer Ryan Thrupp graduated with a First from the Royal Welsh College jazz degree course a few years back\, and besides his jazz activities plays with funky festival favourites Cut Capers and appeared on live BBC TV from Glastonbury 2023 with afro-beat balafon player N’famady Kouyaté. \n

SUMMARY:Comedy: Stand Up For The Weekend with Finlay Christie & Guests
DESCRIPTION:Stand Up For The Weekend with Finlay Christie featuring Burt Williamson & Jack Campbell\n\nAt 19\, Finlay Christie became one of the youngest ever winners of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition\, following in the footsteps of Peter Kay\, Lee Mack and Sarah Millican. 3 years later\, his debut Edinburgh show “OK Zoomer” was nominated for NextUp’s “Best Show” award and was released as a special in October 2023\, with over 365\,000 views. His material\, based around his experience as a Gen Z\, led Chortle to describe him as “the voice of his generation”.\n\nHis 2024 Fringe show “I Deserve This” received multiple 5 star reviews\, won the Entertainment Now “WoW” award and was nominated for the ISH “Best Show” award. The Guardian described it as “Comedy gold” and Edinburgh Festivals Magazine stated there was “Barely a single joke that wasn’t a fresh zinger.”\n\nSo what we are saying is\, if you want to see a future stand up star in the making you’d better come along before he moves up to the enormo-rooms!\n\n\n“Comedy gold… Pleasingly black-hearted wit.” The Guardian
