Echoes of Home (Heimatklänge) Cert. U
Saturday 27 October 8pm
The Shed, Brawby
£6.50 (Under 18s £4.50) Buy tickets
Directed by Stefan Schwietert. 82 minutes. Subtitles.
Harry Lime famously declared that after 500 years of peace and brotherly love the only thing Switzerland had produced was the cuckoo clock. How wrong he was! Echoes of Home is a delightfully bonkers documentary about the Swiss music form of yodeling; a truly unique look at a sometimes misunderstood music tradition and its bright future. From old traditionalists to young experimenters and innovators, this is a film for anyone who has seen ‘Sound of Music’ and wants to sing with arms wide in celebratory abandon.
With Erika Stucky (who performed an incredible gig at The Shed in 2011), Noldi Alder and Christian Zehnder.
“..as beautiful to look at as it is beguiling to listen to..” The Observer

Michael Marra
Saturday 17 November 8pm
The Shed, Brawby
£15 adults (£10 under 18s) Buy tickets
Expelled from school at 14 as a trouble maker, Michael Marra’s songs are ‘strained through a gauze of ragtime blues-piano and shot with filaments of traditional folk and American voices… wickedly funny and sometimes achingly poignant, parables… in vocals from a Woodbined voice.’ (Scotsman on Sunday).
Affectionately described as the Scottish Randy Newman, Michael Marra remains a best-kept secret – except to his fans that include Deacon Blue, Billy Connolly and Eddie Reader
“His tunes walk a razor’s edge of wit… he looks into the soul. If you discover one artist this year you would be wise to make it Michael Marra.” Folk Roots.

Bad Pub
Sunday 25 November 12pm – 3pm
The Shed, Brawby
£3 adults (£2 under 12s) Buy tickets
Once upon a time, over a hundred years ago, Brawby had a pub called the White Swan until the tea-total Methodists bought it and closed it down. Brawby hasn’t had a pub since…
Our good friend Stanley Bad has kindly agreed to help us recreate a Sunday lunchtime pub gig in memory of those pre pedal-power-harmonium sober days. He’ll play tunes on the ‘ole Joanna’ and sing some specially commissioned new songs and we hereby name Brawby’s new pub ‘Bad Pub’ in Stan’s honour. Knees Up Mother Brown and Roll Out The Barrell!
Come and enjoy a Bad Pub Sunday lunchtime singalong with Stan. Drink Shed Bitter, eat plain crisps and pickled or hard boiled eggs!
