Guy Chambers’ profile has never been higher, featuring heavily in the No.1 trending Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix. In ‘An Evening with Guy Chambers’, a member of the audience has a chance to be brought on stage to write a song on the spot with him.

Guy Chambers is one of the UK’s most successful living songwriters having worked with artists and writers including Tina Turner, Kyle Minogue, Scissor Sisters, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, James Blunt, Rufus Wainwright, Mark Ronson and many more.

Perhaps best known for his work with Robbie Williams, co- writing iconic hits including ‘Angels’, ‘Millennium’, ‘Feel’, ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Rock DJ’. He’s also composed for film and theatre including The Boy in the Dress for the RSC and the 2021 Sky Original film, A Christmas No.1.

Guy released his first piano album in May 2019, entitled Go Gentle Into The Light, which features a selection of solo interpretations of these many hits. An Evening With Guy Chambers includes piano interpretations not only of his many hits but also of his original material and the anecdotes and stories behind them, giving an insight into his career and creative processes.

Guy Chambers presents an evening to join him in his world of songwriting over a 40 year career. While playing arrangements of songs he has written over the years, he will tell the stories behind these songs in his own unique way.

He will also share hilarious anecdotes spanning his early years as a sideman in Aztec Camera, The Waterboys, World Party, and his own band, The Lemon Trees.

A lyric will be written (and signed!) and a video is made of the performance that is shared on his social media channels. Watch and marvel as a new composition is created right before your eyes!

Award-winning instrumental duo The Ayoub Sisters present an evening of live music including songs from their brand-new album, Arabesque.

The Ayoub Sisters will be joined by renowned jazz musicians, guitarist Filippo Dall’Asta and percussionist Giovanni Velez. Scottish/Egyptian instrumentalists and composers, The Ayoub Sisters have topped the classical charts, and are celebrated for their ability to unite different musical genres and cultures through their unique compositional style.

Multi-instrumentalist Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, musician, actor, author, songwriter, so much more than ‘just a bluesman’, a troubadour of the folk tradition, and a master of his craft.

Guy uses a blend of roots, blues, folk, rock, rap, spoken word and world music to comment on and address the frustrations of social injustice, touching on historical events, and common life struggles.

Equally at ease with six or twelve string guitar, five string banjo, harmonica and even the didgeridoo, Guy’s work has seen him perform alongside Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Dr John, Taj Mahal and Joss Stone, opening for Chuck Berry, Joan Armatrading and BB King, and perform all over the globe. Adventures that once saw him chased out of Red Square in Moscow for trying to sing, performing in the then Soviet-occupied East Berlin, and in front of an iceberg in Greenland!

John Grant returns with his new album, The Art of The Lie, an idea first conceived in the Autumn of 2022 after an introduction to producer and composer Ivor Guest at Grace Jones’ Meltdown Festival.

The result is his most opulent, cinematic, luxurious album yet. A record juxtaposed by beauty and cruelty, it underpins a particularly emotional new chapter in the novelistic solo life of John Grant.
