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

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

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.

Door (and bar) opens 7:00pm Gigs start 8:00pm Approximate end 10:15pm

LICENCED BAR – we serve hand-pulled SHED BITTER ®.

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.

“Deeply soulful, wonderfully honest.” The Times

“Few do rollicking, bluesy piano as well as Liane Carroll.”

Lynda Beast, Malton 2012

Lynda Beast performing outside the Talbot Hotel, Malton, North Yorkshire.

Lynda Beast - wild and roaming in Ryedale…

Saturday 17 March FREE

Lynda performance times:

Malton – 10:30am
Pickering – 12noon
Kirkbymoorside – 1:oopm
Helmsley – 2:15pm

Lynda Beast is really Stanley Bad in drag. An alter-ego of Dylan (Bomber) Bates, the violinist with Billy Jenkins’ and the Blues Collective, Dylan entertained guests – including the Archbishop of York – at the official Yorkshire Day celebrations in Hovingham in 2009 (hosted by Ryedale District Council) posing as Zoltan, the temporary work-experience, fiddle playing Hungarian waiter and he recently donned a WW2 flying helmet for The Shed’s surrealist Airfix modelling and music extravaganza. In 1999 Dylan dressed as a bee to accompany Ian McMillan’s first Guided Tour Of Brawby.

“Bates is one of the most exciting figures on the jazz scene.” Jazzwise.

“The Paganini of Penge.” John Fordham, The Guardian.

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.

The brainchild of Simon Thackray, Mrs Boyes’ Bingo featuring Mark Sanders premiered at The Shed in 1999 and has since been performed at FuseLeeds, Belfast International Festival and the National Centre For Early Music. Seeing (and hearing) is believing. This is a rare combination of free improv and fun!

“It shouldn’t work but it does. Great fun!” Belfast Telegraph

Special guest musicians:

Each performance of Mrs Boyes’ Bingo opens with an exciting 20 minute duet from Mark Sanders and a special guest musician. This is a unique opportunity to experience some of the world’s leading improvising musicians in action.

“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.”

The North Yorkshire Elvis Bus Tour
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.

The North Yorkshire Elvis Bus Tour (The Shed’s 20th Birthday Party Special) will retrace the steps of the King from his time living in Ryedale. There will be much laughter, daftness and some singing. Ian McMillan is your guide!

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

Bus leaves Malton Market Place 1:00pm Journey-time 2 hours (approx.)
