Buzzcocks
Music
Another Bites Tour
Buzzcocks will perform their first 2 classic albums Another Music In A Different Kitchen and Love Bites in their entirety + other hits.
Buzzcocks’ first album, Another Music in a Different Kitchen, was released almost exactly thirty years ago. It is a major punk landmark and a great record to boot. It’s full of fire, wit, speed, philosophical lyrics and gender explorations, as well the sly psychedelia that always made Buzzcocks stand out from the pack.
Love Bites is the second Buzzcocks recording. It came at a troubled period for the group and the culture that had formed them. After the demise of the Rotten Sex Pistols in January 1978, Punk was seen as over: its original unitary thrust dissipated into movement and countermovement, Power Pop, Post-Punk, Mod Revival. As a front rank punk group, Buzzcocks were in danger of becoming yesterday’s future. Or so it seemed.
In fact, 1978 was an extraordinary year for the group. They released two albums, five singles – all of them hits, with two in the top twenty – and toured relentlessly. One of those singles, Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve?) is now acknowledged as a pop classic
Under 14’s must be accompanied by an adult. Bar open from 7pm.

Theatre
The Wonderful World of Hugh Hughes
Hugh Hughes is back! Following the award-winning success of Hoipolloi's Floating (soon to be performed at Sydney Opera House) and Story of a Rabbit, the emerging Welsh artist returns to The Junction with a brand new piece.
Hugh heads off on a comic and compelling adventure into his fantastical world. A marvellous mixture of memories, random recollections and stories all told in Hugh’s uniquely charming style.
Join us in the intimate surroundings of the Junction’s studio space for this exclusive first showing.
“This is heartfelt and insightful stuff that has great power to move. Highly recommended”

Dance Offensive in collaboration with Leo Kay of Madrugada present: Pressure Drop
This is a piece inlfuenced by many things - film, media reports, personal experience and the ability to dream….
The modern experience of ‘being young’ is, to the onlooker, defined by a barrage of clichés, stereotypes and assumptions…
Impossible aspirations of wealth and stardom are represented as normality within our own culture. But, as they aspire towards these dreams, young people balance on a precarious tightrope between success or failure!
Where does the reality lie?
How does it feel?
Well, it’s time to have a look from the inside!
This show will feature some of the UK's top professional dancers.
Company Decolage present their highly acclaimed show 'Appel'.
Tom Dale, one of the country's most dynamic and unique contemporary dancers will be performing solo and stars of the Edinburgh festival 2FaCeD DaNcE will be joining Dance Offensive on stage for some blistering 'Freestyle'!
Music and words by Skuff & Inja and Manchester's Martin Visceral.
