Playing In Faversham

PLAYING IN FAVERSHAM IS CLOSING DOWN

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 08:24:00 +0000

Playing In Faversham is closing down from today 25th April 2022. There will be no more music events added from today.

There are many reasons for shutting down PiF and I really should have closed it during lockdown a year ago.

PiF has been going now for more than 11 years! I'd like to thank all the people who've supported PiF and the venues and musicians that have helped keep PiF updated. In the 11 years there have been 2,300,000 page views on the PiF site and there are 2,600 page followers on the PiF Facebook page.

To keep in touch with live music in Faversham I recommend going to the Facebook Public Group page: 'Faversham Music Venues':

https://www.facebook.com/groups/467558298060608

Events etc can also be posted on that page.

Anyway . . . . I'll stop rambling on now.

Thanks again

Rob

Brigitte Aphrodite - Living Legends (and dead ones too)
Brigitte Aphrodite is a punk poet, musician, writer, theatre-maker, and feminist showwoman. She makes genre-crossing, status-quo-defying gig theatre and is 2019 Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club kazoo playing champion!

A literary road trip around the UK, celebrating Living Legends (And Dead ones Too) through original poetry. From Lands End to John O’Groats via David Bowie in Bromley, Poly Styrene in Hastings, and Aphra Behn in Canterbury. Tracing its way across the UKs arteries, in a G reg VW, the show reveals its life-blood: the extraordinary people who call our nation home.
Alongside Brigitte Aphrodite, prepare to meet sung and unsung heroes, including at least one pub-specific local colourful character. Take tea with Miranda the Fortune Teller in Margate, raise a glass with Ellen Terry in Small Hythe, and share stories with Alan Moore in Northampton.
Living Legends (And Dead Ones Too) embraces the characteristics that make our pubs special. It is a communal experience that welcomes a broad, diverse audience; a conversation-sparker; a raucous night out. Each poem stands alone, but much like the union it explores, together the characters crescendo into a unique, captivating, and brilliant whole.
