A couple of fun nights coming up in the Forest!

Cooey over here! You’ve been asking for some more live dates, and here they are! This time next week we’ll be starting out on our autumn tour and there are only six dates so don’t blink or you’ll miss us 🎶

We’re always excited to be touring but this one will be special because we’re mainly heading right into new communities and visiting village halls and libraries. There's a lot of chat here in B'ham right now about libraries, with our council cutting funding, so we're delighted to be performing in these really valuable community spaces.

31st Oct | Evergreen Hall, Broadwell, Forest of Dean (with AIR in G (Arts in Rural Gloucestershire)
1st Nov | Soudley Village Hall, Cinderford (Gloucestershire) (with AIR in G)
22nd Nov | Brilley Village Hall, Hereford (with Arts Alive & Flicks in the Sticks)
30th Nov | The Greystones, Sheffield
7th Dec | Thimblemill Library, Smethwick [Birmingham]
8th Dec | Warwick Arts Centre, Warwick (family show with Musical Picnic / )

We may also have a sneaky new EP to share with you… but shhh, we haven’t told you that yet! 😉

I’ve had to keep this news under my hat for a little while but can now go public! The Wesley in Cinderford has been awarded £180,000 from Arts Council England to completely renovate the theatre space. This is the new home of our Youth Theatre and investment at this scale will transform the experience for our young people. The next few months will be exciting for all of us as we work towards our first show in a professionally equipped venue. I’m basically very happy about this!! 😊
