SUMMARY:Comedy : EDINBURGH OR BUST SIMON EVANS & RIA LINA
DESCRIPTION:EDINBURGH OR BUST DOUBLE BILL\nEvery year in August\, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is THE place to see stand up comedians hone their brand new solo shows in preparation for national touring. This is your opportunity to see these work-in-progress shows before the Fringe and before they go on tour.\n\nSIMON EVANS: STARING AT THE SUN\nAn odd title\, but those familiar with Plato will understand the reference\, as will those familiar with Donald J Trump. Simon Evans hits 60 this year\, and perhaps more significantly his daughter hits 21 and his son 18. He no longer needs to think of the children; his time is short and with no more shackles on his instinct\, he’ll give you the raw\, unlubricated truth.\n“A masterclass” The Scotsman\nRIA LINA: RIABELLION\nFollowing her killer debut tour\, Riawakening\, the wickedly funny Ria Lina returns with a riotous Work in Progress before she hits the road again in Autumn 2025. Expect a relentless stream of hilarity as Ria explores the eternal battle of the sexes\, the delight in throwing life up in the air after years of following the rules\, and the art of radical indifference. Much loved in the industry\, this multi-award winner commands the stage with a whirlwind of energy and leaves audiences breathless with laughter.\n“Fearless\, provocative and very funny… wonderfully on-the-edge stuff… There isn’t a comedy venue in the country that shouldn’t be fighting for her” The Scotsman

SUMMARY:Music: New Cut Collective ft Special Guests & DJ Jnr.D
DESCRIPTION:You will be dancing from the off with these Bristol-based funk meisters. They’ll be playing the finest cuts of Funky Soul-Jazz and upbeat Latin grooves. This tight collective is primed to entertain\, with original arrangements of tunes by the likes of Ramsey Lewis\, Herbie Hancock\, Sergio Mendes\, Gil Scott-Heron\, Mongo Santamaria and Jimmy Smith. \nThe line up features a core trio with a strong combined history of live and studio work. Cranking up the tremolo for those Hammond stings and going full Ramsey on the Piano\, but also stripping it back to some of that mellow\, funky Rhodes: Murray Benjamin\, a long time musician on the local scene – MC of Fromage En Feu\, and former band member of several Bristol Institutions (Mo-Funk\, Orquestra Montpelier & K’Chevere). \nChic had ‘Nard Edwards\, Herbie Hancock had Freddie Washington but neither of these were available so we settled for the funkiest (and nicest) bassman in town: Mike Rogers\, at the back giving the band that solid groove foundation (Kid Sinister\, Stick of Rock & Gee Baby). \nThe newest member of the band from New Orleans\, Louisiana\, laying down those funky beats to set it all ablaze\, introducing: Chris Courville (of Grammy-nominated band Lost Bayou Ramblers). \nSpecial Guests: At this Summer gig we will also be joined onstage by some select Bristol talent\, but you’ll need to come on in to fi nd out who… \nIn between sets\, DJ Steve Dawson (Jnr. D of BUMP RollerDisco) will be spinning the vinyl to keep those feet on the dance floor (bring spare shoes!). \nLimited numbers so book your tickets today to join the party… \n  \n

SUMMARY:Postponed: Julie July Band Acoustic
DESCRIPTION:Julie July Band performs original music inspired by the folk\, rock and blues movement of the 60s & 70s but with a contemporary 21st Century twist. With over a decade of gigging and recording experience\, they make their debut performance at The Hen & Chicken\, Bristol- celebrating a new album\, ‘Flight of Fancy’\, together with songs from their critically acclaimed albums ‘Lady of the First Light’ and ‘Wonderland’ plus a selection of Sandy Denny favourites. \nThe line-up features musicians with strong Folk-Rock roots including Dik Cadbury\, who played with Decameron and Steve Hackett\, on bass\, acoustic guitar and vocals and Mick Candler of Decameron and The Roll Movement on drums & percussion. Julie July brings powerful\, emotional and crystal-clear lead vocals with a voice that really echoes the late Sandy Denny. The Rock element of the band is provided by Steve Rezillo on lead guitar who has supported the likes of Thin Lizzy and Aztec Camera: Steve’s unbelievable talents on the guitar and in studio are essential to creating the band’s authentic Folk-Rock sound. The newest member of the band\, Australian Caley Groves\, brings fairy dust and magic to the mix with his acoustic guitar and offers a Latin\, gypsy-jazz twist to the band’s live performances. Last\, but not least\, one of the band’s songwriters\, Carol Lee Sampson\, contributes soulful and heartfelt performances on keyboards and vocals. \nHave a listen here
