A
good tune, no pretensions, latent energy, evocative
musicianship and just a little bit of thought
behind all of it. Beautiful instrumentation and
lulling vocals ensure that this is an artist worth
savouring. Death and illness have coloured his
experiences in recent years, but Goss has allowed
them to filter richly into his songwriting without
ever resorting to maudlin self-pity. «

Less
tribute and more homage to jazz-influenced best
sellers Steely Dan, Nearly Dan is saviour to the
legions of Dan fans. The band's approach is faithful,
though not reverential, and relaxed but as tight
as their namesakes, a testament to hours of rehearsal
and a great deal of talent. They return to the
Met following a sell out show last year.

One
of the country's top reggae and dub acts, founded
in 1993 by Greg Roberts and Tim Bran. Their debut
album 360° set the stage for the follow up,

year after their formation. Continuing to record
and release new music, Dreadzone for many years
hosted Dubweiser at Notting Hill Arts Club, and
subsequently released Once Upon A Time in 2005.
Their continued popularity remains a testament

In
wartime England four children are evacuated to
an old house where they find a magic wardrobe.
Inside they find the enchanting land of Narnia;
a Kingdom where it's always winter but never Christmas;
a Kingdom on the verge of an epic conflict between
an evil Snow Queen and a courageous lion. Are
you brave enough to go inside and share the children's
adventures? Have you the courage to stand shoulder
to shoulder with Aslan, the great lion, and fight
the Snow Queen? Narnia is waiting; it needs your
help... CS Lewis' classic tale for children (and
adults!) comes alive on stage with wondrous characters
and special theatrical tricks to help re-tell
this extraordinary story that will draw you in
from the moment you sit in your seat.
Morning & Matinee shows available throughout
the run, for full listings of times of shows see
our December
calendar page. «
