‘Certain men are notorious for what they get up to in their sheds. Simon Thackray runs an arts centre in his. For the past 20 years, The Shed, near the market town of Malton, has been responsible for some of the smallest and most inspired art events in the country.’ Alfred Hickling, Guardian

Trains and Roses (CERT. 15) Valentine special
Zugvögel… einmal nach Inari

Sunday 12 February
The Shed
Venue: Brawby village hall
Tickets £4 (Seniors £3) Book Online

Director: Peter Lichtefeld 1998, 87 mins
In German with English subtitles.

Hannes (Joachim Krol) is a beer delivery driver from Dortmund whose passion is to compete in the first International Train Timetable Competition in Inari, Finland. When his special leave is cancelled at short notice he flips, knocks his boss unconscious and goes anyway, oblivious of the fact that he has become the prime suspect of a murder. He meets a mysterious woman on the way.

Trains and Roses was first shown at The Shed in 1999 on an old projector screen rescued from Malton tip. Karin Doose (who used to run Ryedale Film Society) occasionally brought us German films and this was one of the best. It is beautifully photographed and is very funny.

Thanks to the Goethe Institute, London for making the film available.

Irish flute & whistle player Brian Finnegan and Scottish fiddler Aidan O’Rourke, front men with possibly the two most revered bands ever to have thrilled the folk scene, Flook and Lau, have joined forces with two of the brightest stars in the world of rhythm and accompaniment – Yorkshire guitarist Ian Stephenson (who works with Kathryn Tickell), and Jim Goodwin, drummer and percussionist with the Halle and Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, to travel a daring and innovative new musical path.

Brian Finnegan – flute and whistle

The ‘new fab four’ have an alchemy that is wonderfully hypnotic and the perfect balance between grace and power, sunlight and shade. A uniquely thrilling union.

“Bates is one of the most exciting figures on the jazz scene.” Jazzwise.
“The Paganini of Penge.” John Fordham, The Guardian.

Watch / listen to Dylan performing with Lol Coxhill (skip), Hannah Marshall and Max Eastley. Spot The Shed t shirt!

Mrs Boyes’ Bingo featuring Mark Sanders is a standard game of prize bingo (you win prizes!) with simultaneous drumming and percussion disruption. This unique gig stars legendary bingo caller Eileen Boyes and leading European improviser Mark Sanders on drums. Seeing and hearing is believing. A rare combination of free improvisation and fun!

Mark Sanders - drums and percussion

The brainchild of Simon Thackray, Mrs Boyes’ Bingo featuring Mark Sanders premiered at The Shed in 1999 and has since been performed at music festivals from Leeds to Belfast and venues including the National Centre For Early Music.

Each performance of Mrs Boyes’ Bingo will open with a 20 minute duet between a special guest musician and drummer Mark Sanders.

Special guest musicians:

Oren Marshall - tuba

Oren Marshall – tuba (21 March) performing in Crayke.

“The Jimi Hendrix of the tuba”, Oren performs with the LSO, CBSO, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, English National Ballet, Scottish Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet to name a few! Oren was part of Billy Jenkins’ Songs Of Praise (a national tour produced by The Shed) and leads his own Charming Transport Band (one of the most exciting gigs ever at The Shed in 2008). He has performed for both the Queen and the Pope!

John Edwards - double bass

John Edwards – double bass (22 March) performing in Weaverthorpe.

“The best bass player in England” (Stewart Lee) John Edwards is one of the leading European improvisers. Plucking, banging, whacking and bowing his double bass into impossible musical shapes. Probably best known for his work with Evan Parker, John performs a regular duo gig with Mark Sanders. Hardcore, full-on and hugely exciting free improv.

Alan Tomlinson - trombone

Alan Tomlinson – trombone (23, 24 March) performing in Sessay and Brawby.

“The Danny DeVito of free improvisation”, Alan has performed at The Shed many times (most notably the Fish and Chip Van Tour which was filmed and broadcast on the Richard and Judy Show). Alan recently performed a duet with (and in) the River Seven at Dale Head Farm in Rosedale. NEWS: Alan performed live on Today on BBC Radio 4 on New Year’s Eve!

“The Shed was the inspiration for my tour of village halls” says Hank, who continues to plough his village hall furrow in search of the smallest hall in England, bringing songs and misery from the dark underbelly of Country.

Hank Wangford, the doyen of British Country Music for over three decades, is on the road with his old saddle-pal Brad Breath, the man who brought the world his classic Glimpse of Gloom. Brad has finally left his Rabbit Ranch in Two Buttes, Colorado, to rejoin his compadre the High Priest of Pain, in an evening of yodeling and misery, with heart-breakers and toe-tappers featuring words and lyrics by the boys.

“Nine out of ten committee members have never heard of Hank.”

Tour guide Ian McMillan!

Saturday 9 June – departing Malton Market Place 1pm
Tickets: £15 (Under 12’s £10) SOLD OUT
Journey-time approximately 2 hours…

All Shook Up! by Ian McMillan tells the tale of a young woman from Malton who sees Elvis. The story was the inspiration for our North Yorkshire Elvis Bus Tour.

Simon dreamed up the knitted Elvis wigs to wear on the trip (the pattern was created by Sirdar) and the BBC commissioned Ian to expand the story into an Afternoon Play on Radio 4. All Shook Up! (including a special live recording of the North Yorkshire Elvis Bus Tour) was broadcast in June 2004.

“McMillan walked the tightrope between genius and madness, and pulled it off.”
James Kilner, Yorkshire Evening Press
