It’s an evening of cheeky, risque, raunchy…sometimes even bawdy songs from prohibition-era America.
On Friday 14th March at 7:30pm, at Tideswell Community Hall, Julia Titus performs Ma Bessie After Hours: a concert where the lights go down and the heat goes up!
Be transported back to the so-called golden days of the twenties and thirties. Hear fabulous jazz and blues standards with a ‘speakeasy’ vibe. Think late-night club, featuring sometimes near the knuckle songs. Songs often drawing inspiration from the after-hours performances of Bessie Smith when she let rip in intimate settings, including the Cotton Club, out of sight of the US authorities.
Why not dress for the 1920s or 1930s to help you get into the mood for this sassy evening?
7:30pm Friday 14th March at Tideswell Community Hall. 18+ only, tickets £13 and £12 (concessions) from www.ticketsource.co.uk/tideswelltheatre, or on the door. Reservations on info@tideswelltheatre.org.uk or 0797 3963525.
