Sip and Sounds with Tom Kitching

Join us for our Sip & Sounds series of acoustic music nights, offering up close performances in Groucho’s Bar at Mansfield Palace Theatre. Author and musician Tom Kitching presents his new book and album, Where There's Brass, with a special storytelling and music concert show. Documenting six months living in the London waterways community, making the long journey across England from Manchester on a traditional narrowboat built in 1937, Where There's Brass tells the story of the contemporary London waterways; a floating slum at worst, a bohemian, alternative, vibrant community at best. It is a love letter to the waterways, and a rallying cry for what they can be in the future. Stories old and new interwoven with a specially composed suite of music, underpinned by Tom's long-term accompanist, the brilliant Nordic mandola player Marit Fält.
