Spiers and Boden at Howard Assembly Room

Two of the many great things about Howard Assembly Room is that it is both intimate and versatile. The first of these qualities was utilised, before the brilliant performance by the ex-Bellowheads, Spiers and Boden, by Jon Boden who held a Free Singing Workshop for those who wanted to exercise their vocal chords. Obviously I…

Issie Barrett’s INTERCHANGE at Howard Assembly Room

I know that I have a mind which works in strange ways but I really could not get the thought of this band being from Bradford out of my mind! In fact they are from all over the place and are some of the most innovative musicians on the planet. The name is a pun…

Parsifal by Opera North at Leeds Grand Theatre

Should you ever meet Richard Wagner in another life I suggest that you greet him by just saying ‘Hello’. I get the feeling that if you ask ‘How are you?’ you will spend a couple of days listening to his answer. He is the Cecil B DeMille of opera, taking as much time as he…

Tai Murray and Martin Roscoe at Howard Assembly Room

Last Saturday we were treated to a programme of classical music performed by violinist Tai Murray and pianist Martin Roscoe. Tai Murray is an American violinist who made her professional concert debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the tender age of nine! She went on to study at Indiana University and the Juilliard School…

The White Card at Leeds Playhouse

I normally try to post my reviews the day after I have seen the event but The White Card requires so much research and re-editing that it has taken me far longer than normal to put finger to keyboard and press ‘Publish’. As you will deduce from the opening paragraph, this is not a play…

Red Sky At Night at The Wetherby Whaler

When I got notice of this event, I thought all of my birthdays had come at once. Actually, it wasn’t my birthday, but Mikron Theatre Company’s 50th, which was being celebrated with a performance of a new play by Lindsay Rodden called Red Sky At Night. Not only did we get the play but also…

Maggie May at Leeds Playhouse

Rarely have I left a theatre as moved as I was last night after the performance of Maggie May. I am not saying that everyone will feel the same but the subject matter and the way it was handled certainly hit a nerve. The play was originally scheduled to be performed before the pandemic but…

Chicago at Leeds Grand Theatre

This is the second time I have seen Chicago, the first being in the West End in 2002. I mention this because it somewhat affects my judgement of the show. From the opening number, All That Jazz, I became a bit misty eyed as my companion in London was my late mother, so the memories…

National Opera Studio: An Evening of Mozart at Howard Assembly Room

It is amazing how one small act of kindness can lift your mood in a spectacular way. Last Saturday night I was booked to see the above concert in Leeds and so, as I have had some disastrous experiences with Harrogate Bus Company’s 36 recently, I set off ridiculously early to get there in time.…

Roberto Fonseca at Howard Assembly Room

On a fairly sunny but chilly evening in Leeds it was great to be transported to the more balmy climate of Havana for a magical evening of music from Roberto Fonseca and his fellow musicians; Yandy Rodriguez on electric bass and double bass, and Ruly Herrera on drums. Despite the music taking us to the…
