It began with a voice. A character I’d once played wouldn’t leave me alone. Her name was Frau Welt, a grande dame of the theatre. I’d sit on trains muttering, in a thick German accent, tall tales of Berlin, Broadway and Angela Lansbury. I was desperate to make a solo show.
Dusty Limits returns to Underbelly Festival at the Southbank with his show Mandrogyny - a musical journey through the life of Dusty, from dinosaur obsessed little boy to cabaret star. We asked Dusty to tell us about the show and about the life events that inspired it.
Lyrix Organix is a social enterprise that creates experimental events, rewriting the rulebook for live music and spoken word. The energy behind the collective comes from Dan Tsu, its founder and creative director, who is passionate about breaking down the barriers between different genres of ‘soulful’ music.
Electronic artist and vocalist Gabby Young has been evolving, and we're really excited at Run Riot to follow her through the next step of her musical adventure. She launches her new single Through the Trees at Proud Camden next month and we couldn't be happier to have the chance to chat to her ahead of the event.
