Magic McMagicface is a masterful showing of an array of magic tricks and performance which will leave you in awe of Rob Ellinger’s skill, as well as possibly walking away with a transference of some of his love for magic.
Gumbo Ya Ya and The Band Of Simple Dreams, took to the stage at Norwood Live to deliver their particular brand of fun to a large crowd of music fans who turned up for a chance to enjoy some Van Morrison & Linda Ronstadt classics.
The thing that really stood out about Shit-faced Shakespeare: Hamlet was actually its delivery of the story (Hamlet) and its actors.

Oscillating between the ridiculous (you will have Natalie Imbruglia’s Torn running through your head for day) to the sublime (you will also never look at a keg of beer in the same way), the slapstick element of this frenetic performance does not detract from the sheer force of talent of this incredible crew.
