SUMMARY:Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) Live at The Greystones
DESCRIPTION:Chuck Ragan is best known as co-frontman of Hot Water Music\, but his career has also spanned acclaimed solo releases\, the influential Revival Tour\, and even a successful fly-fishing business in California. Across everything he does\, honesty and authenticity remain at the core. \nHis new album\, Love And Lore\, marks his first solo release in ten years. Originally conceived in 2016\, the record faced numerous delays due to the pandemic\, family commitments\, and other challenges before finally being completed in 2023. The result is a collection that pushes beyond Ragan’s folk roots\, embracing richer arrangements and new sonic territory while retaining the heartfelt songwriting that has defined his career. \nFeaturing contributions from Todd Beene\, George Rebelo\, and Spencer Duncan\, Love And Lore explores themes of family\, relationships\, personal struggle\, and finding solace in nature. It’s a deeply reflective and emotionally resonant album that showcases Ragan’s continued growth as a songwriter and musician.

SUMMARY:Hayley Ellis (Sheffield Plate)
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a time\, Hayley Ellis was in a girlband. She had it all\, a fringe full of inset hairspray\, a lace glove and a dream. It was the 90s and she was sure her band was going to be the next big thing. Fast forward some years later\, the fringe has flopped and the only gloves she wears is an oven mitt.  But what if she’d made it? Who would she be today? A well-adjusted mum who invested wisely and does the school run? A wellness guru flogging labia flavoured incense sticks? Or a washed-up has been calling the paps every time she goes to the Tesco just so she can scream “Why won’t you people let me live my life!?” \nJoin ex-popstar Hayley for an hour of joyous retrospection on body image\, Smash Hits \nmagazine and an indoor skydiving debacle that’ll convince you some dreams are better left in the past. An hour of so-tragic-it’s-funny nostalgia\, from your favourite no-singing\, no-dancing funny girl.

SUMMARY:Danny Bowes (of Thunder)
DESCRIPTION:After the success of his MAXIMUM CHAT tour in 2025\, the THUNDER front man returns with UNDER PRESSURE in April 2027. \nStill unable to sing (after his stroke in 2022)\, Danny’s going back on the road with a completely unscripted tour. The entire show will be based on questions provided by the audience. Brave or just barking mad? Danny says: “I had to learn to do almost everything all over again after what I like to refer to as my “occurrence” in 2022. I wasn’t able to sing (I’m still working on that)\, but having spent all my adult life on stage\, I had an itch I just couldn’t scratch\, and I felt I needed to prove to myself that I could still put on a show. I was mentally and physically exhausted afterwards\, but the tour worked\, which was a massive relief! \nMaximum Chat was filled with stories of my life\, both before and after I joined a band\, and there was a Q&A section. This was the bit where the audience got to ask me anything\, and I’ll be honest\, I didn’t expect to but I enjoyed it much more than telling the stories. The questions were written on cards by the audience and posted in a box. I then picked the ones to answer. I was fine with telling the stories\, but the questions were a bit scary\, as I had no clue what was coming until I saw them the first time. Consequently\, I don’t mind telling you my bottom was “all of a quiver” every night! \nWhen I answered the questions in the show\, I know it sounds strange\, but it felt like there was someone on stage interviewing me\, and I really liked it. So much so that I’ve decided Under Pressure will be a 100% Q&A show\, so it’s going to be completely unstructured\, and entirely based on questions from the people in the room. It means all of us (the audience and not just me) will be “under pressure” to create a great show\, and it will be different every night of course! See what I did there?”

SUMMARY:MC Hammersmith (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, this is NOT the same show as the one taking place at Foundry in June 2026. \nMC Hammersmith (posh West London’s leading freestyle rapper with over half a billion views online) presents his new show: “Ice Ice Nepo Baby”. \nWhen MC Hammersmith turned 18\, his parents (MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice) shockingly revealed he was adopted. His two famous dads helped him ascend to the top of the rap game. He now embarks on a quest to find his biological family\, the only way he knows how: by performing an evening of improvised hip hop comedy based on audience suggestions. \nLightning-fast freestyle raps\, explosively funny rhymes\, and utterly captivating genealogical investigation. Featuring brand new routines for 2027! \n“If you’re going to see just one show…make it this one” – EdFestMag (★★★★★) \n“An improvised hip hop masterpiece” – Voice Magazine (★★★★★) \n“Stomach-achingly funny improv raps” – EdFringeReview (★★★★★) \n“The world’s leading freestyle rapper” – The Advertiser (★★★★★)
