2024-11-07 - 2024-11-08 | Cambridge Corn Exchange, 2 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3QB, United Kingdom
A decade ago, The Fisherman’s Friends signed a million-pound record deal that saw their album Port Isaac’s Fisherman’s Friends go Gold as they became the first ever traditional folk act to land a UK top ten album.
And thanks to the small film with a big heart that shares their name, the story of the original Cornish ‘buoy band’ is known around the world – bound by shared experience, for more than 30 years they have gathered on the Platt on the harbour in their native Port Isaac to sing the songs of the sea, songs that in some cases have been handed down for hundreds of years, songs that connect them to generations of Cornish fishermen that have come before them.
The Fisherman’s Friends are lobster fisherman Jeremy Brown, writer and shopkeeper Jon Cleave, smallholder and engineer John ‘Lefty’ Lethbridge, builder John McDonnell , lobster fisherman Jason Nicholas, filmmaker Toby Lobb and potter Bill Hawkins.
Tickets: £30.50, £37.50. All tickets include a £3 booking fee.

Terence Rattigan's Summer, 1954.
2024-11-12 - 2024-11-17 | Cambridge Arts Theatre, 6 St Edward's Passage, Cambridge , Cambridgeshire, CB2 3PJ, United Kingdom
Summer, 1954. The atmosphere at The Beauregard Private Hotel, Bournemouth is one of repressed emotions and post-war gentility. In this world of hushed conversations and quiet anonymity, an unlikely friendship develops between a shy spinster and a retired Army officer. But when a newspaper threatens to reveal the Major’s long-held secret, will the other residents cast him out for good?
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Midlands, a long-serving teacher is on the verge of retirement from his distinguished public school. Diminished by poor health, a crumbling marriage, the distain of his colleagues and the derision of his pupils, he is given cause to re-examine his life when a young student offers an unexpected gesture of kindness.
Britain is changing. Nothing will ever be the same again. Terence Rattigan’s one act masterpieces Table Number Seven (from Separate Tables) and The Browning Version are paired for the first time, capturing one quietly momentous evening seventy years ago.
Stage and screen stars Nathaniel Parker and Dame Siân Phillips lead an ensemble cast, directed by Olivier Award winner James Dacre, in this double bill from one of Britain’s most popular 20th century playwrights.
Running Time
Tuesday – Saturday, 7.30pm/ and Thursday & Saturday, 2.30pm:
Tickdetsw – £25/£35/£40/£45 All ticket prices include a £3 per ticket booking fee

Robert Schumann – String Quartet no 1 in A minor, op 41 no 1/ Sally Beamish – Nine Fragments (String Quartet no 4)/ Felix Mendelssohn – String Quartet no 2 in A minor, op 13
The Elias String Quartet have quickly established themselves as one of the most intense and vibrant quartets of their generation. Formed in 1998 at the Royal Northern College of Music, they are now ensemble in residence at the RNCM. The Quartet is steadily building a recording catalogue that has been met with widespread critical acclaim.
Schumann’s first quartet has long been a personal favourite of the Elias Quartet. Highly charged, joyful and poignant, it is rewarding for both performers and listeners alike. Sally Beamish’s ‘Nine Fragments’ was written for the Elias Quartet as a companion piece to Schumann’s first quartet. Their programme ends with Mendelssohn’s String Quartet no 2; an astonishingly individual response to the late Beethoven quartets, characterised by soaring melodies, stormy power and shimmering flurries.
Tickets £24 / £12 (under 25).
