| The Sunset Lounge Open Mic Night Posted: 30 Apr 2013 05:29 AM PDT 
@ The Cannon (back of) Thursday is the new Friday! Last Open Mic before May the 4th be WITH YOU! Beanbags and cushions, lava lamps and disco balls, joss sticks, sarongs and candles. What more could you ask for on a Thursday night? Oh ya, loads of musicians (mostly) come and play some sweet tunes too. When you step inside the back room of the Cannon you’ll forget that you’re in one of the oldest pubs in Newport Pagnell. You'll also forget that it used to be a gay bar. Did it? Or is this just a myth? General information Here's how to do it... 1) Book Friday morning off work. 2) Go to the Cannon in Newport Pagnell anytime from 8pm on a Thursday (park around the back) MK16 8AQ. Go directly to the back room and look for the beardy dude! Turn up before 8.30 to guarentee a slot. Bring your electro-acoustic instrument. (We have a guitar you can borrow if you don't have one!) 3) Tune up your guitar and make sure the battery works. We need a quick change over between musicians. 4) Tell Jeff, Ade or Gareth to put your name in the 'Magical Book'. They'll know what you mean. 5) Sit back, relax and wait your turn. (Don't pester Jeff or he'll cut you........ from the list and, well, don't pester him). 6) Get on stage, have a joke ready if it's your first time at the SSL then play. *3 songs, no medleys or longwinded stories about how you were feeling when you wrote the song. *Acts may get more or less time on stage depending on the number of acts wanting to play. If you go overtime we'll shoot you. Or turn your music down. Which ever we're in the mood for. Hope that's comprehensive enough for you Loungers! Now you know and knowing is half the battle! The SSL crew. |

| 'Teechers' by Blackeyed Theatre Posted: 12 Apr 2013 05:56 AM PDT  STANTONBURY CAMPUS THEATRE Teechers By John Godber Blackeyed Theatre, in association South Hill Park Friday 3rd May – 7.30pm “there is only one fitting description of Teechers...winner” Daily Telegraph Fast-moving, inventive and highly entertaining, Teechers is John Godber’s brilliant take on life at a modern Comprehensive. Through their hilarious end-of-term play, three fifth-formers exuberantly sketch the new drama teacher’s progress through two terms of recalcitrant classes, cynical colleagues and obstructive caretakers. Disillusioned, he departs for the safe waters of a private school, and leaves behind his students, whose youthful irreverence gives way to despair. Brought to the stage by highly acclaimed Blackeyed Theatre with high energy, break-neck comedy and breathtaking ensemble performances, Teechers is a modern classic with something vital to say about education for the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’. Tickets £14.00 Concessions £12.00 Schools £9.50 BOX OFFICE 01908 324422 OR ONLINE www.stantonbury.org.uk |
