Roots Roundabout and Explore the World present

The Dhoad Gypsies from Rajasthan A wonderful riot of percussion, melody, colour and theatre from this celebrated Indian folk troupe. The Dhoad family ancestry is rooted in the original land of the gypsies of north west India, a land of wandering troubadours and musicians who went from town to town, entertaining princes and their courtiers. The Dhoad gypsies keep this ancestry alive, as the tabla, drums and castanets lay a vibrant percussive bed. On this the musicians create an atmosphere of musical enchantment. Leela Kumari dances the sublime gyrations of the Royal Cobra and Munshi, the masterful fakir, breathes fire and treads a path on the blades of swords and beds of nails. An unmissible whirlwind of traditional Indian folk music and theatre from the Dhoad Gypsies of Rajasthan.

Pappy’s Fun Club is Britain’s best new sketch troupe. At the 2007 Edinburgh Festival it earned an If.Comedy nomination for Best Show. This led to appearances on BBC3’s Comedy Shuffle, BBC Radio 1’s Switch and ITV’s Comedy Cuts. In 2008 the troupe starred in its own self-titled show on BBC Radio 4 and the half-hour special, Pappy’s Fun Club, on Channel 4. The quartet capped all this off with a Chortle award and a sell-out run at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe.

Medway Human Rights and Equality Council presents the Nuffield Theatre production: Peeler by Maggie Nevill Aisha waits behind 20 bolts and a stuck down letterbox for the killer she knows will inevitably find her. So why, then, when the meter man comes, does she invite him in, pay him to stay and ask him to help peel the onions? This play deals with the growing horror of honour-based violence in England, when a family demands the death of a child to atone for the shame she, or he, has supposedly brought upon them. Aisha does not feel ashamed and is determined to be heard before she dies. The meter man finds himself embroiled in a nightmare that he couldn’t have imagined when he walked up Aisha’s garden path.

Fatima Spar and the Freedom Fries Sultry, sassy and seductive, Fatima Spar and her band of Freedom Fries could be classified as world music. But that feels like a lazy label that pales in comparison to the band’s passionate and playful blend of smoky jazz, Latin and Eastern European folk flavours. Hailing from Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Vienna, Fatima Spar and the Freedom Fries skilfully conjure an atmosphere of bohemian decadence. Fatima swings and writhes around double bass, drums, horns and accordion, armed with the spirit of jazz and a voice that will leave you breathless and begging for more.
