Here’s a list of some of the delights in store at the Apex in September
Sun 2 Sept, 7.30pm
False Lights
BBC Folk Award-winning singer-guitarists Jim Moray and Sam Carter explore new kinds of folk-rock hybrids with ‘folk rock for the 21st century’. Formed in the spirit of the genre’s late-‘60s originators, but informed by the music of Sam and Jim’s far more recent youth, False Lights are a gleefully raucous guitar band that plays traditional songs and tunes. Their first album, Salvor, gained five star reviews, a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nomination for best album, and copious airplay on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music.

From the towering might of Queen, Fleetwood Mac & ELO, the ‘pin-up pop’ of David Cassidy, David Essex and Donny Osmond, timeless classics by The Carpenters, 10cc and Elton John, to the glam-rocking sounds of Sweet, T.Rex, Mud and Suzi Quatro.

The Empty Chair
A mischievous musical adventure for ages 6 and over, using playful storytelling and irresistible music to explore the ways in which people and friendships grow and change.
TROUPE tell vivid, colourful stories full of energy, humour and emotion, using classical music, old and new. Two people find their world turned upside-down by the mysterious silence of an empty chair. Aided by the whirling Keeper of Noises, they gently get to grips with this puzzling object through music, poetry and on-stage sound effects.
Attendees are also invited to a post-show workshop, to explore the themes and music in the show.
