About Michael Scorey From Auckland Michael Scorey has opened for some of the biggest rock stars notably Rod Stewart at The Mission Festival in 2005 in front of 30,000 people. He supported Joe Cocker for all three nights at the 3,000 capacity Civic Theatre in Auckland. In his earlier days as part of NZ band The Innocent he toured with INXS, Echo & The Bunnymen, Elvis Costello, Warren Zevon and Uriah Heep. He has released two albums; the first "Angel Station" was nominated as a finalist in 1997's New Zealand's National Music Awards.
His second album "Levonia" was recorded practically in one straight live take and has been getting rave reviews.
Two renowned duos. Two gifted sisters. Two extraordinary guitarists. One multi-faceted, unique quartet, for two very special concerts on the Artsreach circuit!
Some of the most important names in Irish music – legendary guitarist Arty McGlynn, virtuoso fiddler Nollaig Casey and brilliant harper Máire Ní Chathasaigh – came together in 2009 to record with Britain's finest flat-picking guitarist Chris Newman. This resulted in The Heartstring Sessions, an inspired CD from this Irish supergroup with soul, which crosses boundaries of world-class guitar-playing, sensuous singing, fiddle-playing of heart-melting lyricism and harping of power and passion.
Angi and Banjo present The Crazy Victorian Slideshow Drawing Extravaganza
Children ages 6-11 are invited to a wild and wonderful drawing workshop on Tuesday 14 February at Bridport Arts Centre. Led by the equally wonderful Anji and Banjo, the amazing art sessions will be created in special Victorian themed slideshow setting.
Buffalo Gals are fast becoming the UK’s favourite old-time country string band, and in Dorset they certainly developed a firm fanbase with their string of sell-out Artsreach performances two years ago. They now make a long-awaited return to the Artsreach circuit in January and March, performing at five rural venues.

Howl Open Mic Nights have become an established event in many bars and pubs in Dorset, and I ventured along to their evening in No.10. Luckily for those who didn't want their eardrums destroyed, I was happy to stand back and cheer on those braver than myself, who were willing and ready to display their musical skills. It is a testimony to the number of wonderful musicians Bridport harbours to see, on just one busy Thursday night, how many came out to perform.
Who ever said that week nights had to be boring? Even with the wet and wild weather chilling us all to the bone, now is no time to be hiding under your duvet...
For example, My Wednesday night was spent listening to the awesome music of Shelby's Elbows, enjoying my Southern Comfort and lemonade in the company of other music lovers. As many people will know, No.10 have always supported local music, and their music nights have become legendary in their own right.
CUBE Theatre present their new play Geppetto at Bridport Arts Centre on Saturday 27 August.
In New York's lower east side, in the middle of the 1950s, a teenage girl answers a hastily scrawled, advert on a whim. It invites her to audition for the role of puppeteer in a forthcoming production of Pinocchio. But when she enters the shabby flat where the audition is being held, it soon becomes clear that things aren't quite what she was expecting, especially since the odd, foreign-accented, ill-at-ease man she finds there calls himself Geppetto (the name of Pinocchio's father in the original story).
