Of course, our main job is to invite you to the fabulous shows we’ve lined up to entertain you, from A Christmas Carol to Wise Children, Barber Shop WELCOME Chronicles and Richard III – and to tempt you into the intimate throng of the new Weston Studio (where the artists of tomorrow make work that will blow corkscrews out of your ears). HIGHLIGHTS But what we actually want to do is say thank you for the extraordinary support you have given us, not only during the opening period, but during the last nine years of planning this refurbishment, raising funds for it, and 1 – 9 Mar & 2 – 13 Apr 2 – 18 May then building it. This theatre could only have survived its extraordinary RICHARD III BARBER SHOP CHRONICLES 252 years if the people of Bristol had loved it, cherished it, rescued it and rebuilt it time after time after time. So thank you from us both. This theatre is, in every sense, yours. Tom Morris Emma Stenning Artistic Director Chief Executive Twice Weekly Open Daily THEATRE TOURS NEW MENUS AT 1766 P.S.

The inaugural Bloomsbury Set evening, will take place on March 27 and features one of the world’s biggest jazz stars Claire Martin, described by a New York critic as “a world class performer, offering proof-positive that jazz can be sung with a British accent.” The last Saturday of each month will see The Bloomsbury Set enjoying a spectacle of glamour, good food and great music as 150 guests mingle amid candlelight in one of London’s most beautiful locations – the Folio Room. “We’ve gone right to the top for our artists,” said Jazz FM’s CEO Richard Wheatly. “The Bloomsbury Set is a terrific initiative – bringing top class jazz artists exposure, outside traditional venues and re-inventing the tradition of wonderful entertainment in London’s hotels. We expect this to become a regular monthly adventure that will feature in every London jazz fan’s diary.” “World class food, drink and entertainment from great artists, at great value in a world class venue– who could ask for more?” asked Karthik Ramumurthy the Bloomsbury Street Hotel’s General Manager. The Bloomsbury Set promises to continue in fine style, as the April 24 evening will feature a double-headline: Gwyneth Herbert and Sarah Gillespie, while in May and June Ian Shaw and Lianne Carroll respectively will headline.

  • Sebastian Rochford Biography
    Sebastian Rochford Biography Sebastian Rochford is the extraordinary, imaginative and adventurous composer, songwriter, producer and instrumentalist who, with his multi-genre output and the help of some key collaborators, has turned British jazz on its head. A characteristic of Rochford's music is the mixing of a jazz background with modern electronic and pop/rock influences, so it is no surprise that his influences include Beethoven, Daughters, Bjork, Skepta, Burial, Prince and contemporary electronica as well as a large dose of jazz. The CD releases with his own bands, as well as his contribution to many others as either a composer, player or producer, attest to his particular brand of fertile inventiveness and his ability to get the best out of a wide spectrum of versatile musicians. Through his bands, Rochford has earned the reputation of one of the most creative musicians on the UK scene. Polar Bear's raw-boned, dramatic music mixes jazz with an electronic soundscape and a punk sensibility, underpinned by break-beat and rock rhythms, while Fulborn Teversham witnesses the collision of punky, funky melodic music with deadpan, in-yer-face vocals, cosmic electronica and eclectic mix of acoustic jazz, alt rock, prog punk and other musical brilliance. The music of both bands is distinguished by Rochford’s compelling contrapuntal melodies and driving energy, which has won many critical plaudits as well as a devoted audience. Since 2004, when he won the BBC Radio 2 and Radio 3 Jazz Award for Rising Star, Rochford has amassed a plethora of nominations and accolades. Further Jazz Award nominations under the Best Band category (2004 and 2005), Best Instrumentalist (2006) and Album of the Year (2006) were complemented by Rochford’s participation in the inaugural Jerwood/PRS Foundation Take Five Initiative for creative jazz musicians in 2004/05, an award for Fulborn Teversham for artistic excellence at Brighton Festival and Polar Bear’s nomination for the prestigious Nationwide Mercury Music Prize with Held on the Tips of Fingers in 2005.
