Little Hulton's Hooky and JB Barrington, aka Words Escape Me, are to star at Terry Christian's `Mad Manc Cabaret' – the first of a series of monthly shows at Band On The Wall beginning this Friday night 17th October.
With a mix of music, comedy, poetry and interviews which aim to "bring together four decades of Manchester's cultural history in the greatest live show in the North", the ace first line features the superb ex Primal Scream and A Certain Ratio singer, Denise Johnson, performing live and spilling the beans on life on the road with the Scots rockers...
Next up is the incredible Durutti Column guitar guru, Vini Reilly, who'll also be talking about his time with Ed Banger and The Nosebleeds and working with Morrissey on the Suedehead album...followed by the almost honorary Salfordian Stella Grundy, who will be performing songs from her rave hit one woman show Rise and Fall of a Northern Star.
Rounding off the live night is rapper Jun Tzu, who will be doing some tunes from his new album The Troubles. And, as the whole cabaret thang ends, a Northerners With Attitude club night kicks in from 10:30pm-3am.
"On the night I'll be covering politics, plus humour through love, life and loss, and I'm honoured to be performing amongst such a stellar line up, especially seeing how I've only been performing my poetry for just over two years" says JB Barrington, whose Greater Manchester Fringe show, Woodchip Anaglypta and Nicotined Artex Ceilings, won the best spoken word award at the fringe this year, beating Phil Jupitus plus many others.
