Kicking off on Thursday, May 23 at XL Live in Harrisburg, PA, Turner's Undefeated Tour will feature his long-standing band The Sleeping Souls and hit markets across the south, midwest, west coast and east coast. The tour will feature support from Amigo the Devil, Bridge City Sinners and Micah Schnabel & Vanessa Jean Speckman in select markets.

“Scared Of Living” sits alongside totemic tracks including lead single “Liar/Lover”, the highly charged polito-punk follow-up “Caught Up In The Scrape”, explosively antagonistic “Rivals” as well as most recent offering “Weathering The Storm”; all of which can be found on ‘Just Before The World Starts Burning'.

Touring in support of their debut album ‘Just Before The World Starts Burning’ (out 24 November via Xtra Mile Recordings), the live dates will be first as a band outside of their usual day jobs of touring with Frank Turner. Kicking off in Glasgow on 23 January 2024, the tour will see stops in Nottingham, Manchester, Bristol and London.

Recorded over the last 3 years between Frank Turner's rehearsal space in Oxford and Badlands studios in Ireland, its 12 varied tracks take their cues from a wild array of influences, from the explorative post/rock sounds of Radiohead or Death Cab For Cutie, to the tempestuous punk thrashings of Plosivs and Hot Snakes.

Unearthed Festival takes place from the 16-18 June 2023 and this years' line-up will welcome more performers, creators, teachers, musicians, shamans, comedians, artists and entertainers to the lush Pembrokeshire peninsula than ever before. 

Best known as Frank Turner’s loyal bandmates and fellow road warriors having played alongside the punk icon for over a decade, Tarrant Anderson (bass), Matt Nasir (piano), Callum Green (drums), Ben Lloyd (guitar) and Frank’s guitar tech Cahir O’Doherty (Fighting With Wire, Jetplane Landing and currently New Pagans) on vocals.

From 17 July, Fellowship Square's launch season will take place over weekends, bringing together talent from the worlds of comedy, performance, poetry, visual arts, music, fashion, film, food and crafts, culminating in the 'Fellowship Feast' Community Picnic on 14 August.

Harley (Danielle Williams) is undergoing a psychological evaluation after having been charged for a bank robbery. While the Doctor (Sharon Duffy) tries to get to the bottom of her bruises and prove her subjugation to her partner in crime and life Jay (Joseph Blunt in voiceover), the criminal slowly shows her hand. Written by Lucy Walters and directed by Georgia Leanne Harris for Tripped Theatre, Harley & Me is, unfortunately, a flawed and inconsequential piece of theatre.

Comedic actor WILLIAM HARTLEY is best known as one third of sketch comedy troupe Clever Pete. GUN is his debut solo theatre show - a pastiche-cum-homage to the spaghetti Western that is more cowboy than Clint himself. Ahead of performing Gun at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe he had a chat with BroadwayWorld.

Directed by Anna Ledwich, Kiss Me is passionately and heartbreakingly intimate. Stephanie (Claire Lams), a war widow, struggles to reconcile her role as a "modern woman" with her longing to have a baby. She is met by a man, Dennis (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), whose job is to give exactly what the woman wants most. Their meeting will be the start of an unorthodox relationship in a shifting 1929 London which is still learning to adjust to the new world.

Multi-award winning writer Richard Bean's Kiss Me transfers to Trafalgar Studios after a sold out run at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs in 2016. Claire Lams (The King's Speech, Chichester Festival Theatre; The Little Mermaid, Bristol Old Vic; Routes, The Royal Court) and Ben Lloyd-Hughes (Future Conditional, Old Vic; Henry V, Michael Grandage Company; Jumpy, Duke of York's Theatre) reprise their roles.
