Join us at the Bijou for the return of the Talking Blues from Sailor Swift himself!

Pete Morton's new show is a tour de force, a revelation, and a real joy; to see a performer at the top of his already deeply impressive game.

The premise of the show is that the friendly ghost of a sailor haunts an old pub, meeting and talking with people through the centuries, the famous and infamous, observing the changing world with a smile and a quick wit, singing popular songs from times gone by.

A happy mixture of music hall, pantomime, Stand-Up comedy, rowdy back room folk clubs, with moments of utter beauty and breath-taking audacity, it is a unique experience. Its full of laughter, singalongs, history, poetry, philosophy and life affirming fun. Its one of the very best things Ive ever seen.

The audience were with him from the start, and their laughing, singing, clapping and foot stamping filled the hall. It was a mesmerising performance, a non stop cavalcade of vignettes and quips. I was left in awe of Petes command of the huge amount of material the show contains, just one person with a guitar and a voice, keeping the carnival vibrantly alive for us all.
