Martin StephensonLeader/songwriter with the Daintees, Martin’s musical education came from Ray Manzerac’s piano in The Doors, Jim Morrison and Patti Smith, John Cooper Clarke and Jonathan Richman. These were the foundation of Stephenson’s eclectic music education, paid for not by the state, but by busking to escape the Workhouse. Martin evolved into an unusual songwriter in the early 80’s, writing idiosyncratic flavours way beyond his years. Making his name more as a strong performer and anti-industry bard, relating more to outsiders than the fame hungry.Releasing four critically acclaimed albums between the years 85/92, he continues to plough his own furrow living in the Highlands of Scotland, releasing over 20 albums and performing concerts throughout the UK.www.daintees.com

Canto - the Last Flying Chance in the NorthPresented by 6 & half flying circus6 & half flyers, a storm and a chameleon flying rig which seems to have a mind of its own: the performance is set in a storybook cityscape of once-grand structures ticking away in perpetual turmoil. We follow the antics of the characters grappling with their distinctive obsessions and desires. Devised and directed by Firenza Guidi and boasting a lavish original soundtrack and fragmentary dialogue in several languages, Canto fuses highly skilled circus with physical and image theatre to create a world which is both urban and rural, old and contemporary: a funny, nostalgic, moving and altogether breathtaking experience.Produced by Kadja Karjalainen Devised and Directed by Firenza GuidiOriginal Music by Gareth Jones and Chris Hillswww.duoarctique.com

The Pearl FishersBy Georges Bizet, Swansea City OperaA fishing village in ancient Ceylon (Sri Lanka) is the setting for Bizet’s steamy tale of a tautly woven friendship, loyalty and forbidden love. The brave fishermen, Zurga and Nadir, recall a pact they made not to pursue Leila; a woman for whom both had developed a deep affection. When a veiled virgin arrives to pray for the fisherman on their upcoming expedition, the real pearl remains hidden - her true identity. When Leila finally reveals herself, she pits the old friends against each other in a deadly love-triangle. This Swansea City Opera production is a visual, dramatic spectacle and a torrent of passion, loyalty and tension.

St David’s FoundationSt David’s Foundation has been providing a ‘hospice at home service’ in Newport, Torfaen, Caerphilly and Monmouthshire for 30 years. Last year they cared for over 2,800 patients facing a life-threatening illness, along with providing continued support for their families and carers.

At any one time their nurses are caring for around 960 patients. The service is provided free-of-charge to the patients and families but costs the organisation £5 million per year to run, and they have to rely on 80% of funds to come through voluntary donations. St David’s Foundation would not be able to maintain these vital services without the help of the local community, therefore your support is greatly appreciated. www.stdavidsfoundation.co.uk

The Bootleg SixtiesThe OverturesThe Sixties were without doubt the most dynamic and innovative of decades, and their impact upon society is still being felt even now. The huge changes in music, fashion and culture which the Sixties brought about have left an indelible mark on the world, one which will probably never be equalled. Many of the creators and innovators of the Sixties were, of course, British, a fact of which we can all be proud, so in recognition of such everlasting achievements, The Overtures have devised a special concert. This show is packed with great music from all the classic artists of the decade, and is backdropped by fantastic visual footage, including archive material from each town and city hosting the show. Add in some guest appearances, some fab 60’s costumes and, of course, The Overtures’ own inimitable performance, and you’ve got a show which is sure to delight audiences of all ages.www.thebootlegsixties.com
