London Tango Quintet with Craig Ogden

London Tango Quintet at the Movies The London Tango Quintet has a distinguished line-up of internationally acclaimed musicians, each with major careers in the classical music world as soloists, chamber musicians and orchestral artists. Joining them in Parbold is the celebrated guitarist, Craig Ogden. The concert celebrates tango’s long love affair with cinema, featuring iconic music from Por una Cabeza and Last Tango in Paris to Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge. Since 1921, when Rudolf Valentino’s brief dance in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse made him the defining screen idol of the silent film era, directors have returned to tango for its intensity and drama, with memorable on-screen moments from Sean Connery, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jennifer Lopez. Its most explosive cinematic encounter remains the climactic scene of Moulin Rouge, with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. Join the London Tango Quintet in an unforgettable evening oftango from the silver screen.

Flo and Joan: With Feeling

The time has come for critically acclaimed musical comedy duo Flo & Joan to write another bio as they make their highly anticipated return to the stage with a brand-new show. “Gosh, they are almost like a real band” (Bruce Dessau, Beyond a Joke). The pair will try and take up as much of the stage and as little of your patience as possible as they use another "real band's" setlist to write their own show – ruminating on themes such as ‘what is music?’, ‘how do you be a band?’, and ‘is comedy?’ in the sharp-tongued, deadpan way they have become accustomed to. As seen on Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance, Comic Relief's Red Nose Day Live 2023 and their own comedy special 'Alive on Stage' for Amazon Prime. “Musical comedy hasn’t been in such safe hands for years” The List “truly exceptional” Rolling Stone “extraordinary… #1 Comedy Show of 2024” The Guardian “these intricately crafted, flawlessly performed numbers will have you howling with laughter one minute, wiping away a tear the next” The Telegraph “Flo & Joan coat every moment with jokes, jokes, jokes” The Times "They’ve just crammed in jokes… brilliantly written, superbly performed” The Stage “[they] briefly appear to be a jolly musical double act, but tear that to pieces about two bars into the first, perfectly timed song” Sunday Times Age 16+
