SUMMARY:Three Men in a Boat
DESCRIPTION:From Giles Shenton Productions and Stratford Theatre Company comes Three men in a Boat. \nDirected by Simon Downing \nAdapted from the splendid book by Jerome K Jerome by Simon Downing & Giles Shenton \nWith Giles Shenton (Old Herbaceous & My Dog’s Got No Nose) as Jerome \n \nJoin Jerome as he recounts the hilarious story of his boating holiday along the magnificent River Thames with his two companions and Montmorency the dog. Come and join in the fun as Giles Shenton expertly takes the helm and pilots you through the ridiculous tale of men behaving badly while messing about in boats! \n“George got out his banjo after supper\, and wanted to play it\, but Harris objected: he said he had got a headache and did not feel strong enough to stand it. George thought the music might do him good—said music often soothed the nerves and took away a headache; and he twanged two or three notes\, just to show Harris what it was like.  \nHarris said he would rather have the headache.”  \n“There are a few seriously funny books that remain great for all time. Three Men in a Boat is one of these” The Guardian \n“Timeless appeal” The Independent \n“Pitch-perfect comedy about\, well\, three men in a boat” The Telegraph \n“Skilfully distilled from Jerome K. Jerome’s comic masterpiece into 95 minutes of pure delight. To those who wondered if the same team could live up to the earlier success of Old Herbaceous\, the answer was an emphatic yes. A master class in confidence\, stagecraft and delivery.” Opening Night Review \n“The nearest thing to “audio slapstick” I’ve ever heard\, culminating in the sublime comedy of opening a tin\, when you’ve forgotten the tin opener. It is not often that you come out of a theatrical performance feeling like you’ve been sharing happy and hilarious times\, safe from a cruel world & wrapped in a warm blanket.” Vera Fletcher Review \nGiles Shenton “creates an instant rapport with the audience\, drawing us into his world and making the characters in it so real we feel you have known them forever. ” Edinburgh Fringe Review

SUMMARY:Gren Bartley
DESCRIPTION:Gren Bartley is a UK-based composer and songwriter creating emotionally resonant\, story-driven music. With a background in folk and world music\, Gren blends organic instrumentation with cinematic textures to craft distinctive\, versatile soundscapes that enhance narrative and atmosphere. \n​ \nHaving composed for award-winning theatre productions\, BBC radio and television\, and self-released albums\, Gren brings a deep understanding of how music connects with character\, setting\, and emotion. His work spans genres — from delicate acoustic themes and atmospheric underscore to rhythmically driven pieces ideal for trailers or advertising. \n  \n \n  \n2024 saw the long awaited new album from Gren Bartley. Two years in the making\, “Unfold” expands further and deeper into the cinematic folk genre. Somewhere between R.E.M.s Automatic for the People and Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left\, Bartley has found something entirely of it’s own mind. \n  \nHis 2015 album ‘Magnificent Creatures’ (***** R2 magazine) was given outstanding reviews. With production by Birmingham based Gavin Monaghan (Robert Plant\, Ryan Adams\, Nizlopi\, Ocean Colour Scene etc…)\, the record built on the “constantly outstanding” (fRoots) quality of his previous two records. The album took Gren and his music around the world performing at festivals and venues. \n  \n \nIn 2019 Gren turned to a more stripped back sound of solo performance and wrote and arranged a new album of tunes and songs exploring his love of world music and bottleneck slide guitar. Gren released the new album “Quiet” (***** Northern Sky magazine) to excellent reviews. \n  \n  \nGren Bartley is part of the future of melodic songwriting. Forever evolving and adapting\, and with unmatched guitar work\, he is a modern day troubadour\, using his influences from older folk and world music traditions\, to create truly astounding records.

SUMMARY:Paul Cowley
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Paul Cowley crafts heartfelt country blues from his Brittany barn\, blending classic influences and modern storytelling. \nThe Mississippi River doesn’t run past Paul Cowley’s granite barn in the rolling French countryside but his acoustic country blues flow deeply there just the same. \nWhen Paul says his love of one of the most basic and beautiful of all blues styles grew out of his life in Birmingham\, he’s talking England\, not Alabama. \nThe blues came late. In his early 40s\, with his jazz-guitarist uncle’s steel-string guitar\, inspired by Lightnin’ Hopkins’ Coffee House Blues album. “It was like flipping a switch\,” he says\, on hearing Hopkins’ music\, and the hard-wiring that had been part of his early trade as a builder now carried the musical currents of the Delta. \nThe fact that Paul had never been to Mississippi\, Chicago\, or any of the traditional sources of this unique music\, didn’t matter. The blues came calling. \nInitially\, Paul took that guitar\, some short-lived guitar lessons from his teenage years\, plugged in his new blues influences\, and became his own country bluesman — a singer\, songwriter and storyteller with a flair for turning the long and winding road of his life into carefully crafted musical adventures. \n“It was a revelation to me and the beginning of an enduring passion for acoustic blues and particularly country blues\,” Paul says. “I like songwriters and storytellers rather than flash technical players.” That puts some of the giants of country blues in the past century among his influences: Players like Hopkins\, Rev. Robert Wilkins\, Fred McDowell\, Mississippi John Hurt\, Blind Willie McTell\, and others. \n#image_title\nIn Birmingham\, Paul sharpened his musical skills\, and was instrumental in forming the The Sutton Blues Collective. The club booked acoustic blues performers such as Guy Davis\, Doug MacLeod\, Steve James\, Del Ray\, Mary Flower\, Watermelon Slim and many more over a ten year period. \nThe blues highway beckoned\, and after about ten years of music in Birmingham\, Paul carried his century-old American country blues from England to another country\, moving to southern Brittany\, in France. \nOf course\, the country he picked is part of his story. He left Birmingham for a rural setting in Brittany\, where he records in his granite barn – acoustic and country in the same space. \n“It has a great natural sound perfect for the low production value approach that I like.” It’s where he has recorded his last four albums and provides a home base for his travels in France\, England & Belgium. “I tour all year round all over France and generally do two tours a year in the UK. It is a constant adventure and voyage of discovery.” \nHe’s been busy creating his music in that “natural” studio. His last two albums – Just What I Know and Long Time Comin’ – made “albums of the year” on Gary Burnett’s highly knowledgeable and readable blog\, Down at the Crossroads. And Just What I Know from 2018 made Burnett’s “20 Best Acoustic Blues Albums” of the decade from 2010 to 2019\, taking its place among some of the best. There’s a new album in the works. \nThe title song from Paul’s most recent album\, Long Time Comin’\, celebrates both a conclusion and a beginning. It “references my musical journey that started more than two decades ago\,” he says. “When I started tentatively all those years ago\, I had no idea of the path I had embarked upon. It’s a wonderful adventure\, hopefully one that will continue for years to come. \nOne line from that song succinctly sums up Paul Cowley’s continuing musical journey: “I got my mojo\, I found my voice\, I’m singin’ the blues\, It’s the natural choice…!” \nBio by Jim White (Florida)\, The Blues Roadhouse Blog \n  \nVideo\nPaul Cowley YouTube Channel \nhttps://bromsgrovearts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Paul-Cowley-One-Way-Ticket-Live.mp4\nQuotes\nJim White-Roadhouse Blues: \nCowley’s music lives in the fertile borderlands connecting genres! \nIn a world obsessed with flash and immediacy\, Paul Cowley has cast his perceptive “Long Shadow” on a record that values patience\, craft and honesty. It’s the exquisite work of an artist completely at ease with himself and his musical vision! \nPaul Cowley’s richly imagined and thoughtfully executed music is a pleasure on multiple levels. \nGary Burnett-Down At The Crossroads: \nTimeless\, classic – sounding bluesy songs that will have broad appeal. \nSeurus Og-At The Barrier: \nA troubadour\, happy in his own scuffed boots. \nAdmittance: £8.00 (Advanced) – £10.00 (On the door)

SUMMARY:Foxpalmer's Fern and SAMduo
DESCRIPTION:An evening of rock\, Americana style folk and lush indie from Fern from FoxPalmer and the blues\, jazz and soul with SAMduo\n  \nThere’s something about a song that can stop us in our tracks. It might drift out of a radio or be heard in its full glory at a live show\, but however you catch it\, there’s a connection that means you’re hooked for life\, the imprint of those notes and lyrics stamped into your very soul. Fern from Foxpalmer has a whole store of such material\, her songs calling to your heart and head until they go around on repeat in your thoughts all day\, elegantly firing off your synapses. With a unique mix of rock\, Americana style folk and lush indie\, Fern is a striking sound\, as captivating as it is different. \n“A strong comparison can be made between Fleetwood Mac and Foxpalmer\, sharing in their haunting vocals and catchy guitar lines…I strongly recommend getting this album.” The Voice Magazine \n“…Fern showed a fantastic voice with some very good acoustic playing reminiscent of Tracey Chapman…” Ravenheart Music Festival review\, Fireworks Magazine \n“This is a lady with an immense amount of talent”. Garry Foster\, WCR FM The Unchained Show \n“Full of longing and a barely suppressed sensuality\, the material cuts to the bone and touches both the soul as well as making you want to move your feet. With a rare intelligence and craft\, the band are destined to fill larger and larger halls\, buoyed doubtless by plentiful radio plays as they provide a welcome alternative to some of the soulless mass produced music we’re fed. Your only option is to immerse yourself in their warm and wonderful world.” Breakthrough Acts 2022\, Get Ready To Rock website. \n \nMartin and Sandy from SAM band were a hit when they performed on our stage in 2026 and will be back performing songs drawing on their love of blues\, classic soul\, jazz and singer songwriter genres. They present an intriguing and truly mixed set of covers and quality originals with soulful vocals and a variety of moods and grooves. Moody\, fun\, entertaining and entirely accessible\, SAMduo are a must see act. \nhttps://360-vision.art/SAM/index.htm \n  \nTickets: £12.00 (Advance)\, £15.00 (On the door) \n
