‘Shake-away’ those winter blues with live shows bursting into town

Theatre is continuing on tour in Tamworth this February, with the rip-roaring alt-folk band Noble Jacks and the high-spirited, gypsy style jazz music of Tantz.

 

Noble Jacks will perform at St Francis Church on Thursday, February 8 2019, starting at 7.30pm. This rip-roaring alt-folk band brings warm electro-acoustic music and rousing vocals to its live shows, fused together with a mixture of lively, folky foot stomping rhythms and engaging lyricism. The band encompasses heartfelt, yet upbeat songs, showcasing fiddle, blues harmonica and big anthemic songs. Exhilarating and refreshing to hear, this band will be raising the roof in February. Tickets are priced at £7.50.

 

If jazz music is more your style, then don’t miss Tantz in Concert at Sacred Heart Church on Friday, February 9 2019, starting at 7.pm. A high-spirited and original klezmer dance and gypsy style band. Offering a performance of great global music, this remarkable six-piece band will bring joyous jazz infused music with an infectious vibe.  Tickets are priced at £8 adults, £6 concessions and £26 for group of 4 (standard tickets).  

 

Live & Local – the Midlands’ Rural and Community Touring Network – will continue to work with Tamworth community groups to provide volunteers with the tools they need to bring professional touring theatre companies to the town, including booking, promoting and selling the events.

 

Touring Theatre has produced a range of high-quality shows that started from April last year. All performances have been staged in familiar but unusual community locations in a bid to increase opportunities for people to experience the arts.

 

It is part of the two-year Arts in Unusual Spaces project funded in partnership with Arts Council England, Tamworth Borough Council and the local community.
