Brahms’ Clarinet Trio at Dewsbury Town Hall

Now here was a concert to gladden the heart of any Yorkshireman, it was a buy one, get one free offer. As well as the advertised work, Clarinet Trio Op. 114 by Brahms, we were treated to a second, this time from Beethoven, namely his Clarinet Trio in B flat major Op. 11. Not only…

Cyrille Aimée at Howard Assembly Room

Another visit to Howard Assembly Room. I love this place as it presents acts which are a little more niche, meaning that I would not normally get to see them. Most have been pleasant surprises but there have been some disappointments and, sadly, this was in the latter category. The evening began with a short…

My Fair Lady at Leeds Playhouse

Another first for me, but in this case a most unwelcome one. This is the first time I have ever left the theatre before the end of a show, not because I wasn’t enjoying the production, far from it, but I have a medical condition, yes, another one, which, when it attacks, causes excruciating pain.…

Beauty And The Beast from Northern Ballet

After my first visit to see a full ballet, Romeo And Juliet, I was wondering whether they were all as good as that. Beauty And The Beast has convinced me that they probably are! Once again I was in awe of the performers, the orchestra and the creatives. Not being a regular ballet buff, I…

The Romantic Violin at Dewsbury Town Hall

The May performance in the Lunchtime Concert Season at Dewsbury Town Hall comprised a violin and a piano playing half a dozen pieces of romantic music, as usual a mixture of the familiar and the obscure. Today, however, we had the privilege of being entertained by two of the upper echelon of musicians from the…

Here You Come Again at Leeds Playhouse

We Leeds theatregoers are currently going through a purple patch insofar as shows are concerned. From the phenomenal Come From Away, with its cast of thousands, through Common Ground performed by four travelling players in a fish and chip restaurant, the best adaptation of a Nineties romcom in Pretty Woman and now Here You Come…

Common Ground from Mikron Theatre Company at Wetherby Whaler, Guiseley.

This has to be one of my favourite events of the year, not only do I love the way in which Mikron reaches out to the people who, by choice or circumstance, would never go anywhere near a theatre, but also it is performed in a fish and chip restaurant, so win/win. Mikron tours the…

Pretty Woman – The Musical at Leeds Grand Theatre

Since lockdown there has been a succession of musicals derived from hit films, which have ranged from OK to WTF, this one, however, is definitely an OMG! It is a romcom which, for once, lives up to both sections of the portmanteau word, in that it is both romantic and a comedy. The story is…

Orchestra Baobab at Howard Assembly Room

Finally I get to sample a standing event at the amazing Howard Assembly Room by actually being on the floor rather than looking on enviously from the balcony. I must thank Opera North for making sure I was catered for in the seating arrangements following my various health issues over the past eighteen months or…

Sounds of Spring Concert from Opera North at Howard Assembly Room

Regular readers will know how much I enjoy Opera North’s lunchtime concerts at Dewsbury Town Hall – the next one is The Romantic Violin on Wednesday, 15th May – well, here we had a bonus edition at Howard Assembly Room in Leeds. The starting time was a little earlier, being 11.00am and instead of sandwiches,…
