Two-time Grammy award nominee Tommy Emmanuel will return to Cambridge as part of his 50th anniversary world tour. This legendary guitarist is one of Australia’s most respected musicians. Tommy’s unique style, he calls it simply ‘finger style’, is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays it all and more on just one guitar.
Formed in 1981, The Russian State Ballet of Siberia has quickly established itself as one of Russia’s leading ballet companies.

Trevor, Gary and the gang celebrate the festive season by bringing on back the good times with a combination of their unique comedy routines mixed with a non-stop line up of all the best Christmas hits to produce a show with a real feel good party atmosphere!
‘A show of daunting athleticism.’ The Observer From the land of legends and warrior Shaolin monks comes the incredible new Chinese State Circus production – the live acrobatic spectacular Yin Yang. To say the Chinese State Circus is merely a show is to grossly underestimate it; it is the embodiment of a traditional art form which can trace its history back over 2000 years. The presentation lives and breathes with the enthusiasm of its acrobatic artistes. The result is the purest, most honest, abiding and exhilarating circus and a true privilege to see. The undisputed masters of physical theatre will have the audience enthralled with a breathtaking fusion of precision acrobatics, martial arts and dazzling circus skills – entertainment for the whole family.
