Cirrus Clarinet Quartet Concert

Our “A Night of Song, Dance & Clarinet Magic” Concert! Get ready to tap your feet, sway in time, and, if the music moves you, step right up and dance along with the Cirrus Clarinet Quartet … a joyful concert of song‑inspired melodies and dance‑filled rhythms, to celebrate the fun of Ilkeston Festival. Cirrus Quartet is made up of four accomplished musicians: Kate Hawkins (Yes! Our Kate) – B clarinet Steve Milner – E, B and alto clarinets (though not all at the same time!) Adam Blakey – B clarinet Phil Smith – Bass clarinet They say: “Our ensemble takes its name from one of the first pieces we performed together, Blue Skies, symbolising our passion for creating uplifting and harmonious music. We are a group of dedicated amateur musicians, each playing a combination of clarinets — E flat, B flat, Alto, and Bass — allowing us to explore a rich and diverse range of musical styles.” The quartet will delight you with a wonderfully varied programme, encompassing traditional music alongside modern and klezmer influences, celebrating the rich colours and expressive range of the clarinet family. Here are a few little teasers of what you will hear on the night Bohemian Rhapsody Raisins and Almonds Danny Boy Amazing Grace Skye Boat Song The Dance Suite All ticket proceeds will go directly to Our Crafty Place CIC, supporting the continued delivery of inclusive, creative opportunities for all our community. We look forward to welcoming you for the evening.

Bowie By Candlelight

19:30 We are delighted to bring you Bowie by Candlelight, featuring ‘David Live’ The David Bowie Tribute Show. An incredible night of Bowie anthems including Let’s Dance, Starman, Life on Mars, Rebel Rebel and more, performed live, by candlelight. David Live is one of the best tributes to any artist you will ever see – a respectful and charming homage, attracting praise from all corners of the Bowie community. Chris Evans (BBC Radio 2) remarked, “THEY WERE FANTASTIC!” and Lord March, who had the band play at his renowned Goodwood Revival Party when the real David Bowie had to decline, exclaimed, “IT’S DAVID BOWIE!” The band has performed for the BBC, for the Cambridge May Ball and for Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan-Howard at the wedding of their daughter, Florence. We recently had the honour of playing at The David Bowie World Fan Convention in Liverpool. David Live was formed nearly 20 years ago and is considered the favourite amongst true Bowie fans. Between the hit singles, the band squeeze in really deep album cuts and rarer live versions for the Bowie faithful. This show is all about our love and respect for David Bowie, and how his songs have shaped our lives. “I’ll never forget seeing David Live – the authenticity was startling” – Will Brooker, author of “Why Bowie Matters” Venue and ticket information: Tickets Please note that for this performance we are only the hosting venue and we don’t have any association with the tickets for the event.
