Brendan Murphy News

After a critically acclaimed season at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Seabright Productions are delighted to present the highly anticipated UK & Ireland Tour of Brendan Murphy’s brand new show.

Wilton's Music Hall has announced their 2023 spring season, following on from a stellar year of world class theatre and music productions.  Next year's January-April season is no different, as the oldest surviving grand music hall teams up with several prestigious production companies to host a range of exciting theatre, music, opera, spoken word, and cabaret.

Seven seasons. 70 minutes. One Spike. The entire 144 episodes of cult 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out: Spike. Satirical, funny and bursting with pop-culture references, it's the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.

Converge guitarist and producer Kurt Ballou [Code Orange, High On Fire, KVELERTAK] notably mixed Cult Leader’s two tracks, while END guitarist Will Putney recorded, mixed, and mastered END in addition to mastering Cult Leader. Deathwish Inc. co-founder and Converge frontman Jacob Bannon also personally created the artwork and layout.

Coventry UK City of Culture 2021's Festival Hub returns for another fantastic summer season.

Today Wilton’s Music Hall announces a spectacular new season for April-August 2022, with an impressive array of world-class theatre, music and opera shows in collaboration with a variety of distinguished production companies and talent.

A 3D Quidditch Match, a Live Dragon, and an interesting take on Dobby the House Elf greets the young and young at heart at Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. This Harry Potter experience is a 75-minute hilarious summary of all seven Harry Potter Books. Writers, Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, create a sensational and hilarious spin on the Boy Wizards adventures and the entire performance is a romp you don't want to miss.

The 11-track record, produced by Grammy-winner Cameron Webb (Alkaline Trio, NOFX, Megadeth), stands as some of Woodruff’s most resonant writing to date, as he unravels themes of both physical and emotional distance from his wife and daughter in Ohio.

Seabright Productions will be presenting a season of the best-loved shows of previous Fringes at the Pleasance’s EICC this year. The Season contains something for everyone from Apphia Campbell’s Award-winning plays Woke and Black is the Color of My Voice to Richard Shelton’s Sinatra: Raw, and more.

The four critically acclaimed productions were curated by Olivier Award-winning producer, James Seabright, and filmed last month before socially distanced audiences at Wilton's Music Hall, the oldest surviving Grand Music Hall in the world.

Running from Thursday 22 July, this vibrant ten day event – now in its fourth year - transforms the spaces inside and outside of Trafford's award-winning arts venue to offer visitors innovative ways in which to experience the very best in live comedy, music, dance, performance and theatre.

Lockdown restrictions are easing, theatres and museums are beginning to reopen and summer is just around the corner. Waterside is delighted to add to the good news by announcing the programme for its annual experiential summer arts festival: Refract:21.

The much-loved and world's oldest surviving grand music hall, Wilton's Music Hall will reopen on 19th January 2021 for a season of socially distanced theatre, music and spoken word from a number of prestigious production companies. 

As of now, the Sydney Fringe Festival is expected to go on as planned in September.

Counterparts have officially dropped their highly anticipated six full-length album today. Nothing Left To Love shows the band moving their uniquely captivating sound forward without losing the musical DNA that broke them back in the early 2010s. Produced by Will Putney (Every Time I Die, The Acacia Strain), the album muses on many of the topics vocalist Brendan Murphy has in the past: life's darkness, self-destructive tendencies and the self-flagellation they beget. Not only does Murphy himself come full circle, but the album found Counterparts welcoming former guitarists Jesse Doreen and Alex Re back into the fray to aid with the writing process. For all parties, the homecoming was cathartic and meaningful.
