Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, and her number one album Under The Pink, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. Tori has transcended from commercial pop success to using her music to tackle serious issues around female gender, subsequently paving the way for a generation of young female activist popstars. From her visceral depiction of sexual assault in Me and a Gun and her post-9/11 album Scarlet’s Walk, to her decidedly feminist stage musical The Light Princess, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. Her stunning album Ocean To Ocean addressed the feelings of lock down, isolation, family and grief, with a gentle euphoric approach to such potentially dark musings.

‘Mr. Saturday Night’ marks the 4th Album from the Multi-Platinum certified hardcore, West Coast / Lone Star Country phenomenon JON PARDI. With a pair of No 1 Country Album debuts – ‘Heartache Medication’ and his sophomore ‘California Sunrise’ – Pardi has refined and defined a country sound that’s long on punch, power and the kind of honkytonk that gets people drinking, dancing and drowning their heartaches. Those heartaches drive ‘Mr. Saturday Night’, a deep dive into good-timing to get over a break-up, bust up or any other bit of rancid luck. Pardi embraces western swing, breezy California midtempos, bar-room shuffles, an erotic slow burn – or two, Bakersfield hell-raisers and a couple of ballads to show a more mature side of the guy who’s been championing all the styles of juke joint music since earning ACM new Male Vocalist of the Year in 2016 and CMA Best New Artist in 2017. Three years in the making, Pardi’s focus remains conveying the strongest emotions, while pushing the boundaries of what good time songs can do and staying true to the man acclaimed by the New York Times, Variety and Rolling Stone’s sense of what County is. Jon Pardi makes what hurts so bad so much fun – and in a world gone mad, that’s a pretty good card to have up your sleeve…..

Jools Holland And His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra with special guest star Roachford plus guest vocalists Ruby Turner, Louise Marshall and Sumudu Jayatilaka have confirmed dates at 3Arena, Dublin and Belfast’s Waterfront Hall. Jools Holland OBE DL was born Julian Miles Holland on 24th January 1958 in Blackheath, Southeast London. At the age of eight, he could play the piano fluently by ear, and by the time he reached his early teens he was proficient and confident enough to be appearing regularly in many of the pubs in South East London and the East End Docks. At the age of 15, Jools was introduced to Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford; together they formed Squeeze, and shortly afterwards they were joined by Gilson Lavis (who had already played with, among others, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, and Max Wall) - who still drums with Jools. In 1987, Jools formed The Jools Holland Big Band - comprising himself and Gilson Lavis. This has gradually metamorphosed into the current 19-piece Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, which consists of pianist, organist, drummer, three female vocals, guitar, bass guitar, two tenor saxophones, two alto saxophones, baritone saxophone, three trumpets, and three trombones. As well as formidable live performances, Jools has maintained a prolific recording career since signing to Warner Music in 1996, which includes the multimillion selling Jools Holland and Friends series. Notable 'friends' have included Sting, Chrissie Hynde, George Harrison, Norah Jones, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Bono, Joe Strummer, KT Tunstall, Robert Plant, Smokey Robinson, Kylie, Marc Almond, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel, Solomon Burke, and many more. Jools' career as a television presenter has run parallel to his musical career. After presenting two series of Juke Box Jury in 1989 and then 26 shows of The Happening in 1990, Jools was asked in 1992 to host a new music programme for BBC2, which combined his talent and experience as a musician with his skills as a TV presenter.

The Cramlington Train Wreckers is an incredible story of working-class solidarity. The 1926 General Strike was the outer ripples of the revolutionary current that had engulfed Europe after WWI. The Tory Government prepared for civil war. On 10 May, day seven of the General Strike, striking miners in Cramlington, Northumberland, North-East England, inadvertently derailed the Flying Scotsman with 281 people on board. No one died. The only injury was minor, to a man’s foot. Eight Northumberland miners were sentenced to 48 years’ imprisonment in Maidstone, Kent - 330 miles away from their families. Due to labour and trade union pressure, the eight Cramlington lads only served half of their harsh sentences, returning home as heroes. The General Strike of 1926 proved that, if united, the working-class - the people who actually create the wealth - are willing to struggle together for a new and more equal society. An incredible, heart-warming story about community and solidarity.

Spend an evening with a master of the spoken word, BAFTA award-winning author, activist, performer and Sunday Times number one bestseller, Lemn Sissay OBE as he returns to the stage with this acclaimed show. Every morning for 10 years Lemn has written four lines and shares them on his socials with no explanation and no title. After catching the public's attention, they have been transformed into murals, quoted in books, made into songs and even tattoos. He chose the best of them for Let the Light Pour In which became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller - and now a live show. With live readings from his books, Lemn will unravel some of the original stories behind the poems, and how they have been used in people's lives and his own. Expect the unexpected. A night bursting with light to stave off the dark. With the unique chance to pepper Lemn with questions, this thought-provoking and entertaining show on the power of creativity can't be missed. An evening full of truth, humour and hope, Lemn will allow us into his morning poetry practice and show us all how he lets the light pour in.
