By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 April 2013
Oh man, it’s Play Your Ukulele Day today (or so say certain Americans, and Mumford & Sons), so we’ve made this sweet cultural music to tickle your music/theatre-loving fancy. Have a fiddle with the following…
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
R Stevie Moore, Cargo, 2 May (pictured)
Sexagenarian psych gent R Stevie Moore – always a sight to be seen live – really, really wants you all to go to London’s Cargo on 2 May, when he’ll be playing his ‘country and western pop art’ to passers-by/fans who’ve obtained tickets. And if you don’t believe that, watch him saying things to that effect via this link. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
The Match Box, Tricycle Theatre, 2 May – 1 Jun
