The Left Hand That Wasn¹t Right
Thursday 17th June 8pm £8 (£6 if wearing gloves)
Puppeteers, designers, mimes, drag queens, musicians, spoken wordsmiths,
acrobats, artists and dancers explore what a hand is capable of... enter
a world of hand holding, monkeys paws, guilty subjects, East End alleyways,
doorknobs, pointed fingers and hands that live and love and kill. Oh,
the horror! Oh, the Humanity! Oh, the dirty hands! (and some clean ones
too).

Live Music
The Young Martians - Breathe Easy
Friday 19th June 7pm
Entry £7 - reservations essential - email: mail@theyoungmartians.co.uk.
DIRTYFUZZ - Dirtyfuzz rattle out disarmingly traditional blues-drenched
rock 'n' roll. The infectious energy levels are courtesy of flamboyantly
afroed Elida - star in the making and proof that reinventing the wheel
is less important than burning the rubber.
THE TIDE - Often described as Toploader meets The Beatles
FATHER OF BOON Father Of Boon Are Nice - we know this because their T-shirts
say so. Urgent and edgy, shot-through with melody and rare craft, a gloriously
unhinged premise of bass, guitar, drums, decks and sax.
Sci-Fi Hi-Fi, featuring Kevin from Seafood (tbc), begins when last band
finishes and ends at 1am.
