Songs from the Shows!

&Piano finally returns for our 3rd festival - and it's our most ambitious yet! We start as usual with a great afternoon event showcasing two fantastic professional Musical Theatre actors performing a selection of songs from a range of shows old and new.

This year we welcome two performers who have roots in the North West. Sam Kipling is originally from Bolton but is now based in London, and since graduating from Guildford School of Acting in 2018 is already enjoying an exciting career in and around the West End. Recently he's starred in the world premiere of a musical version of Lady Chatterley's Lover at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and has just finished performing in an all-male production of HMS Pinafore - an interesting twist on classic G&S - playing the role of Josephine! We also welcome Laura Coard who studied at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts but is now based in Cheshire. Laura has performed in many professional regional productions around the country, including Spamalot and Oliver! and most recently was back to live performance in Theatr Colwyn's pantomime production of Jack and the Beanstalk.

What better way to spend a bank holiday Sunday afternoon than to enjoy two fantastic singers perform a selection of entertaining songs from your favourite shows!

Slaithwaite is a beautiful village in Huddersfield, that sits along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. It has a train station with trains that come direct from Leeds and Manchester. It is also a convenient location from the M62, coming off at either J23 (coming from Manchester), or J24. There is plenty of free parking around The Civic, and also many excellent café's, restaurants and bars for food or drink before or after.
