Spring Programme March - June 2008
Watermill Theatre:
Mickey Salberg's Crystal Ballroom Dance Band
It’s the early 1950’s and the world is changing fast; the Cold War meets warm hearts as jazz makes way for rock n’ roll at a time when, “You’ve never had it so good” is sometimes true, sometimes not. As the Korean War rages and British conscription comes to an end, The Crystal Ballroom Dance Band plays, inspired by their charismatic leader Micky Salberg. But how long will the old music last, and what will the new tunes sound like? A heartwarming, heartbreaking new musical comedy from Ade Morris exploring the moment when an era turns, then twists, on the dance floors of Britain.

Sinsheen in Concert
Sinsheen comprises Christine Kydd and Barbara Dymock, each a fine singer in her own right, now working together. They have built a reputation among roots music lovers for originality, virtuosity, rich harmonies and the livest of live performances. The songs of Sinsheen are a voice for the irreverent everywhere, with a brash sense of humour in the best tradition of Scots music. They range through dyed-in-the-wool Scottish favourites, with guitar and Bodhran, gospel, songs of work, love, getting the bairn tae sleep, politics, the blues, and dreams.
