SUMMARY:The Keith Little Trio featuring Jane Williams
DESCRIPTION:The Keith Little Trio performs the best in jazz from the Swing era\, recalling the days of Benny Goodman\, Duke Ellington and ‘Fats’ Waller to name but a few. Expect an exhilarating night of Jazz and Swing from the 1930s\, 40s\, and beyond. \nKeith Little was first introduced to jazz at age 14 by his father Don\, a fine pianist in his own right. After many years on the road\, Keith returned home from Germany to lead one of Wales top bands; Keith Little Hot Six and later Keith Little Band. As well as being a regular on the UK jazz scene the band performed in the USA and across Europe. Keith is still thrilling audiences with his unique jazz touch\, and stunning boogie-woogie piano stylings.  \nJane Williams is a very much in demand jazz singer throughout Wales and beyond performing many times at the old Cafe Jazz\, Brecon\, Upton and Aberjazz Festivals\, and many other venues throughout the UK. Having recorded on Van Morrison’s album Roll with the Punches\, she truly has the voice of an angel and is not to be missed.  \nKevin Grenfell’s swing trombone-playing is a joy. He is a bandleader in his own right and regularly to be seen performing across England as a guest star. He is also well-known for his ready wit as the band’s frontman on stage.  \nBill Lynn hails from Bath and his driving bass playing and thoughtful soloing is delightful. Many years a music teacher\, he has also played for professional bands across the country.  \nJoin us for an evening that will treat you to a fantastic selection of great music\, while welcoming the exquisite voice of Jane Williams to sing some gorgeous melodies.

SUMMARY:National Theatre Live: The Audience
DESCRIPTION:The Audience by Peter Morgan\ndirected by Stephen Daldry \nReturning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade\, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the  Olivier and Tony Award® -winning hit production\, directed by Stephen Daldry. \nFor 60 years\, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron\, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences\, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch. \nPeter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.
