SUMMARY:Ring Round The Moon
DESCRIPTION:RING ROUND THE MOON \nStep into a glittering winter-garden ball where mischief\, mistaken identity\, and matters of the heart collide. Twin brothers — the scheming Hugo and the hopelessly romantic Frédéric — find themselves entangled in a whirl of love\, money\, and masquerade. With a poor ballet dancer posing as a society belle\, a rich heiress in pursuit\, and a host of eccentric guests\, everyone’s going “round the moon” — in love with the wrong person\, clinging to old dreams\, and stumbling into farce. \nSuitcase Theatre brings Jean Anouilh’s elegant\, witty comedy (translated by Christopher Fry) to life with a festive twist — sparkling\, romantic\, and full of mischief. Suitable for ages 12 and up. \n  \nTickets available at www.suitcasetheatrecompany.com

SUMMARY:Elijah Jeffery & Eddie Gripper
DESCRIPTION:Black Mountain Jazz Club is delighted to welcome back two Cardiff-based musicians well known to BMJ audiences. \n\nVocalist–songwriter Elijah Jeffery and award-winning pianist Eddie Gripper join forces to present their acclaimed new CD (self-entitled\, ‘Elijah Jeffery & Eddie Gripper’ ) currently on a UK wide tour\, with a striking blend of original songs and a bold reimagining of Purcell’s 17th-century aria\, praised for its imaginative\, genre-defying approach. \n\nTheir live performance weaves together progressive pop\, indie folk\, and alternative jazz\, taking audiences on a captivating musical journey. From the folk-inspired ‘Shifting Seasons’ to the introspective jazz ballad ‘Because of You’\, the art-pop energy of ‘Close Your Eyes’ and a fresh take on ‘Dido’s Lament’\, Elijah and Eddie showcase their flair for storytelling and innovative composition. \nWith a shared passion for pushing musical boundaries\, their performance promises an intimate yet adventurous experience that resonates across genres\, making this a must-see evening for lovers of inventive\, genre-defying music. \n\nHampshire-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Elijah Jeffery brings influences ranging from the Great American Songbook to contemporary folk\, whilst English pianist Eddie Gripper – hailed for his melodic charm and already compared with the greats – adds a distinctive blend of jazz\, folk and modern classical colour. \n\n“These are songs that convince both musically and lyrically\, there is real musical and emotional intelligence at work here” – Ian Mann\, TheJazzMann \n\n“Both halves of the duo excel on this recording\, both in their quality and restraint\, but it is their joint passion for song writing that shines brightest.” – Neil Duggan\, All About Jazz

SUMMARY:BMJ Collective with guest John Crawford
DESCRIPTION:BMJ Collective welcome pianist John Crawford back to Black Mountain Jazz Club for an exciting\nevening of contemporary jazz. John has previously performed at the Club alongside the extraordinary\ncellist Shirley Smart\, and we’re thrilled to have him return as a featured guest.\nJohn Crawford blends jazz sophistication with the fire of Latin rhythm. With English and Spanish\nroots\, he was raised on blues and immersed in salsa\, flamenco\, and Afro-Cuban traditions – a fusion\nthat defines his sound. \nHe has performed at world-renowned festivals like Montreal\, North Sea and San Sebastián\,. He is no\nstranger to iconic venues – including Ronnie Scott’s\, the Royal Albert Hall\, and the 606 Club.\nAn Independent Music Award nominee\, John’s albums Ulia River of Time\, Times and Tides and his\nlatest Room for Dancing have earned critical praise for their vibrant energy and heartfelt lyricism.\nA passionate educator and rhythm fanatic\, John’s books on Latin piano (published by Schott and\nOUP) have become go-to resources worldwide. Whether on stage or in the studio\, his music is always\nalive with groove\, emotion\, and an infectious love of dance. \nRenowned for their dynamic interplay and adventurous improvisation\, the BMJ Collective blend\nstrong grooves with expressive modern arrangements. Together with John Crawford\, the group\npromises a vibrant\, engaging performance\, delivered in the club’s intimate\, up-close setting at The\nMelville Centre in Abergavenny. \nWebsite\nwww.johncrawfordpiano.com

SUMMARY:Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:Join Savoy Youth Theatre as they showcase their latest National Theatre Connections performance\, Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth\, written by Kirsty Housley.\n \n\nWhen an alarm is deliberately set off during their GCSE drama exam\, a group of students find themselves in detention. As they struggle to navigate the seemingly endless tasks they’ve been set as punishment\, questions are raised. Who set off the alarm and why? Will they ever get out of this detention? Will it cost them their GCSE? And why is Shakespeare still so popular?  \nSo begins a meta deconstruction of the play as we move from classroom to theatre\, artifice to reality. The performers switch between their characters and their real selves as they interrogate Shakespeare\, the canon\, the education system\, the nature of theatre\, and the world itself. They begin to wonder whether the classics really are that classic\, or whether we might need to tell a different story altogether…. \nContent guidance:   \no Themes exploring the climate emergency \no Themes exploring the cost of living crisis \no Depictions of anxiety \no References to colonialism
