standing associations with La Bottine Souriante… and a driving urge to distil the music they perform with such passion, to present the very essence of the exhilarating genre. These are distinguished names that are known around the world thanks to their extraordinary blend of powerful musical flair.
A Night in November follows Kenneth Norman McCallister, a Protestant dole clerk working in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The play shows how Kenneth deals with his identity crisis through monologues and soliloquies as well as introducing numerous other characters for Kenneth to interact with, all played by the one actor.
De Temps Antan thrill audiences with a dynamic delivery of classic tunes and songs, thanks to the infectious nature of the music, their boundless energy and unmistakable joie de vivre. A great chance to see them in the intimate surrounds of The Dock just before their headline show at Celtic Connections in Glasgow.
