SUMMARY:An Enemy of the People
DESCRIPTION:Suitcase Theatre Company presents “An Enemy of the People” on Thursday 1st – Saturday 3rd May\, 7.30pm. This production will feature a new version of Henrik Ibsen’s classic drama\, created by William Gilbert. Set in a small market town in Wales (not very different from Abergavenny) the play tells the story of the local GP\, Dr Tomos Hopkins\, whose patients start to present with all the symptoms of a waterborne disease. He tests the local river and the lab reports reveal the truth – sewage in the water. But when he tries to bring this health hazard to the attention of the local authorities\, he finds  that whistleblowers are not always appreciated\, let alone supported. In his fight to bring the truth to light\, Dr Hopkins realises that those in positions of power in the town see him as an enemy of the people.\n\nTickets (on sale from the start of April) are available from the company’s website: www.suitcasetheatrecompany.com. Adults: £12. Under 18s: £6. Entry by pre-booked tickets only.

SUMMARY:TangleJack
DESCRIPTION:After three decades of making music together\, John-Paul Davies and Duncan Leigh have perfected their unique\, acoustic\, double-duet sound. Through tight two-part harmonising and intricate\, interweaving guitar lines TangleJack conjure an extraordinary four part texture. And it is on stage that the chemistry behind the TangleJack sound can really be seen. \nSharing a history that began some 30 years ago\, as the arty outsiders in the brass bands of the South Wales valleys\, John-Paul and Duncan formed a friendship that outlasted their teenage rock band years\, as well as the jazz and classical meanderings of their studies\, to return to their folk rock roots as musicians well-travelled. Having spent their lives becoming the band\, and the people\, they were always supposed to be\, John-Paul and Duncan are preparing to share the experiences of friendship and love with their ever growing audience as they perform their live classics and new songs from The Ragged Edge. \nTangleJack’s latest album\, The Ragged Edge\, was received as “a work of genius” (Fatea) that “fused together the brilliant complexities of folk with the wondrous harmonies of vintage pop.” (Aldora Britain Records) \nNow\, following a tour of intimate gigs\, the South Wales duo is taking their songs of quiet contemplation and rousing roof-raisers to new venues across the UK. \nThis is a band that can really move an audience and keep them engaged and involved. I highly recommend heading out to one of their live shows.” ABABAC Magazine \n“If Simon and Garfunkel had grown up in contemporary South Wales\, this might have been the music they produced” folking.com
