Entertainment Club
Entertainment Club!
After being name-checked by the Guardian as one of the brightest hopes of the Manchester entertainment scene, Entertainment Club is back, by popular demand! Now in the luxurious upstairs theatre of The King's Arms, Entertainment Club returns with a widescreen cabaret format, welcoming not only stand-up comedy but also (though not limited to) avant-garde noise bands, sinewy performance art, and decadent gothic romance.
Hosted by Jim John Harkness ('Veering towards a breakdown'- The Guardian) the evening is an experimental space for exploding the confines of genre, where the audience bring no preconceptions and expect nothing from the performers, except, perhaps, a compulsory offering of their shimmering soul.
7th November then first Sunday of the month.
Starts at 7pm.

Saturday Night Special: An Evening with Ríoghnach Connolly and Ellis Davies

Saturday Night Special: An Evening with Ríoghnach Connolly and Ellis Davies
“(Connolly is) A remarkable singer and flautist...who can ease from Irish traditional influences to soul.” - The Guardian
“Within each of Ríoghnach’s music projects, there is a welter of ideas and
innovations” - Irish News
Join us for an intimate duo show in the King's Arms with Ríoghnach Connolly and Ellis Davies. Over the first lockdown, the pair honed their usual set into something more varied and personal in their series of livestreams, Live From the Back Room.
This is a rare chance to see them perform this set in the flesh.
Ríoghnach Connolly, BBC Folk Singer of the Year 2019, and Ellis Davies have been playing together for nearly 20 years – as long as they have been a couple.
Together they have graced stages as far away as Brazil and Singapore, and recorded under Ríoghnach’s name, as festival favourites Honeyfeet and as Beware Soul Brother, along with Mendi Singh.
As a duo, they are unencumbered with the need to stick to one stylistic path and instead weave influences from folk, soul, hiphop, jazz and blues together to create an eclectic and intricate sound.
Ríoghnach’s bands The Breath & Honeyfeet are currently working on new studio albums.www.honeyfeet.org
