Dom Martin, a 28-year-old Belfast born singer-songwriter, has recently burst onto the UK scene amid high praise for his debut EP Easy Way Out. A solo artist performing his own material, Martin's finger-style acoustic guitar evokes shades of John Martyn and Richard Thompson, with self-declared blues influences courtesy of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Expect the driving rhythms and compelling swing guitar of pieces such as The Rain Came.

Townsend Theatre Productions presents WE ARE THE LIONS, MR MANAGER! – the story of Jayaben Desai and the Grunwick Strike In 1976, six workers walked out of Grunwick Film Processing Laboratory and Factory in Willesden. They staged a strike against their poor working conditions, demanding the right to join a union. Less than two years later, those six had been joined by 20,000 supporters in an historic dispute fighting for better rights for poorly treated workers. Predominantly Asian women, these strikers shattered stereotypes, challenged the establishment, brought a community together to support the rights of workers and changed the face of trade unionism. On the 50th anniversary of the start of the Grunwick Strike, Townsend Theatre Productions celebrates their bravery, bringing their inspirational story to a new generation with “We Are The Lions, Mr Manager!”, an imaginative and stylish production with songs and music of the time accompanied by an integrated exhibition.

I've met you in the clubs. I know you're out there. You're the ones who like to dance. I mean really dance. You love the electronic music. Totally going for it. Wild, high energy, or subtle and inner. Getting behind it. Digging in. Finding your movements and true expression. Tuning in, dropping down, reaching up. Letting the music move you... moving without holding back- or needing to perform- or caring too much about what it looks like. This is your time, your space, your life, your dance. We move together. Flowing in the raw life energy of the dance and of yourself. Fully in your movement as the beats kick and the bassline throbs... the lows, the mids, the highs. Full-spectrum dancers in wild abandon, sensitive journey and personal process. In full spectrum motion. You don't have to think of yourself as a dancer. You don't have to be ecstatic. You can come as you are. Drop your expectations. Just know that this event is designed for you to dance. Set up to help you find your dance. Articulating your body at your own pace as the music guides you on the experience of what it means to be here. This chance to dance. We could all dance more... Yes, this event is for dancing. For those who find nodding along in contained conformity in a crowded club full of swaying crowds of people mostly off their nut is not always enough. But for those who love the top quality club tunes. For those courageous enough to face the potential insecurity and self-consciousness of dancing without intoxicants. And for those who know that we're all human doing our best. Breaking through into deeper and deeper naturalness in motion. The whole range of feelings and emotions and states of being in embodied presence. Be part of the liberation of being with and working through- yourself as you are, in the moment. Here we have the opportunity to find our freedom. Feel it. Express it. Be it. Enjoy it. The physical, mental, emotional release and let go. The 'working it out' and integration. If you ever have the impulse to get into your dance in a sober space that supports it, then this event is for you. Electronic music lovers and lovers of dance- creative, spontaneous, without prescribed form- this event is for you! Each set is a live mix that contains- or brings out into expression- a wide range of energies. Because we all contain these energies. The sheer range. And the varied soundscape of tracks touches upon and helps us touch upon the different parts of ourselves in our dance journey. We dance with and through our thoughts, feelings and sensations, coming to greater presence and clarity through the act of dedication to the dance. And the light-hearted approach of openness to what the experience may bring us. So get your shoes and socks off and come dance with us! See you on the dance floor.
