⛓️Next up in our Wildman Studio... Iron!

⛓️Josie is seeing her mother Fay for the first time in a while – she's never walked into a prison before, and she's been putting it off for fifteen years. Fay is serving life for murdering her husband with a kitchen knife. Her daughter needs to find out why she can't remember anything that came before that terrible night, why her own mother would kill her father. Uncovering the memories they share is going to be more perilous than either of them can imagine...

🎶Essence Of Django arrives at Ilkley Playhouse in two weeks! A vibrant celebration of gypsy jazz and swing, featuring some of the region’s most exciting and expressive musicians, Essence of Django draws inspiration from the legendary sounds of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli of the Quintette du Hot Club de France. The band delivers music steeped in tradition while fearlessly pushing the genre into a modern context.

🎻Audiences can expect fiery, virtuosic solos, foot-stomping rhythms, burning ballads, and moments of delicate lyricism, alongside the occasional Latin-inspired piece that adds colour and surprise.

🪕Together, Essence Of Django delivers an exhilarating live experience. rooted in tradition, shaped by friendship, and fuelled by a shared passion for one of jazz’s most exciting and enduring styles.
