Hands and Voices present... The Good Old Days!

Hands & Voices is the group that brought you a Viking pantomime, an Elizabethan romp and a medieval pantomime quest, so its no surprise that for their 10 year anniversary production they have come up with something extra-special! So join us and step back in time to 'The Good Old Days'!

On Friday 30^th November & Saturday 1st December 7.30pm with a matinée performance on Saturday 1st at 2pm, Accessible Arts own inspirational Hands & Voices Choir will be presenting an exquisite extravaganza of magnificent musical meanderings at The National Centre for Early Music (for your delight and delectation of course)!

Jugglers and Magicians, Strongmen and Lion Tamers, Laurel and Hardy – prepare yourselves for a teaming torrent of tempting talent all brought to you by your own, your very own Hands and Voices (the first ever singing and signing choir)!

The focus of this year’s performance is to showcase the decidedly diverse and distinctly different talents of our choir members, ensuring that each member has the opportunity to take centre stage in the performance. As always, ‘The Good Old Days’ has been devised by the performers themselves, and will feature a unique multimedia blend of music, theatre, dance, live electronics and film, during which, absolutely anything can (and probably will) happen!

A seductively sonorous soundtrack has been devised by Cube Media's own SoundWeavers (professional musicians with learning difficulties), assisted by Dean St. John, Chris Bartram and members of Hands & Voices, with mind-boggling multimedia moments created by Andy Burns.

And on Friday 30^th November, for one night only, we are honoured to announce that Alan Hacker OBE, internationally acclaimed Clarinetist and Conductor, will be joining forces with the SoundWeavers in a proficient, praiseworthy and palpitation-raising performance. Alan has been a patron of Accessible Arts for 15 years now, providing support and encouragement throughout this time.

Tickets are on sale now (£7/£4) from the National Centre for Early Music Box Office on 01904 658 338 Email boxoffice@ncem.co.uk

If you wish to avoid the amateur attentions of our inexperienced and irritable knife-thrower (don’t say we didn’t warn you!) please come in costume best befitting The Good Old Days!

We look forward to seeing you there!
