With his 2012 mixtape debut 'Breakfast' amassing critical acclaim
from the likes of SBTV and DJSemtex.com, performances at the
historic London Olympics and world-renowned Jazz Cafe, the
artist/producer Cynikal is ready to present the evolution of his
sound. Toby, the EP in question was released on 1st December
2013, and features an array of entirely self-produced works in the
spirit of Take Off, the taster record which acquired Cynikal the grandest of
support from BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and a breathtaking filmed Maida Vale session
courtesy of the BBC Asian Network. Armed with his collective of live instrumentalists
The Street Orchestra, Cynikal has also graced stages at The Roundhouse, Isle of
Wight Festival and Lovebox. Recent reviews from international publications HYPETRAK and Indie Shuffle
have seen Cynikal’s increasing online presence flourish, whilst US media moguls Ryan Seacrest and
Karen Civil also listed Cynikal’s work on their respective websites, propelling the performance-producer
into global territories.

7th – 10th 7:30pm. Theatre. gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance”
Our big summer musical is an updated classic. A comic romp with a
wonderful score. Gilbert and Sullivan’s masterpiece was given a
vividly fresh approach on Broadway. This version has won rapturous
critical and public approval on both sides of the Atlantic. With a more
compact orchestration, up-dated production and the restoration of
the 1879 New York finale this version will win new audiences for a
great tradition. It is fast and furious and tremendous fun!
Grab your parrot and come along!

Tonight is the final of our own version of the national talent show. Student
contenders will be singing and dancing and hoping to walk away a

pride and we hope you will come along and enjoy the fun and support
your favourites. It promises to be an exciting evening.

in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1997 for being "culturally,
historically, or aesthetically significant"
