4 Talent Award Winner, Aisle16 founder and writer of C4’s Seven Ages of Love Luke Wright returns with his fourth solo show. Set against a backdrop of grotty Travelodges and open mic Featuring some nipple-tweekingly awful teenage lyrics, sarcastic cricket commentators and the death of a very tight pair of jeans, Luke effortlessly mixes comedy and poetry as he tries to look past his own inflated ego and find out what really matters. “Luke Wright shapes verse from the leading edge of the rejuvenated spoken-word scene. Comic, acute, rhythmic eulogies to modern life.” The Independent “One of our best young poets.” Observer |

How do you become homeless? Is it because you refuse to engage with society? Or is it because society can’t find a way to engage with you? Is it through laziness and apathy? Or circumstance and tragedy? Can it only happen to other people? Or could it happen to you? Combining caustic wit and searing drama, Shelter, the new play from Rondo Artistic Director Provoction seeks to examine contemporary social and political issues with a razor sharp sense of humour and a barely controlled simmering rage at the mess we’re in today - all wrapped up in a good night out.

The Urban Folk Quartet perform a heady mix of traditional tunes from The band consists of demon fiddle players Joe Broughton (Albion Band, Feast of Fiddles) and Paloma Trigas (Carlos Nunez) with the irrepressible multi instrumentalist Frank Moon and storming rhythms from Tom Chapman. Having been discovered in their teens by legendary artists The Albion Band and Carlos Nunez respectively, Joe and Paloma’s careers have in many ways taken parallel paths both gaining much experience touring the world. In 2004 they performed their first fiddle duet together to great acclaim and so the seeds for The Urban Folk Quartet were born. Joe and Frank met at The Birmingham Conservatoire School of Music and realised they had a lot of common musical interests. They met Tom when he was experimenting with a Cajon-based drum set up, a sound that fitted perfectly with the concept of the band: so The Urban Folk Quartet was born.
