Get ready for a night of Original Roots Reggae & Ska as The Bighead bring their infectious sound to York House! Based in Northampton and formed in 2009 by songwriter Mark Da Costa, The Bighead have been bringing their own blend of roots reggae and ska to audiences across the UK and Europe for over a decade. They’ve shared stages with some of the biggest names in the original 2-Tone scene, including The Beat, The Selecter and Bad Manners, as well as playing a memorable show with Madness at Northampton’s County Cricket Ground. With three albums and a single released through independent label Heavy Product, plus a strong following on the Berlin reggae scene, The Bighead are guaranteed to bring plenty of energy, rhythm and good vibes to York House. All proceeds from this event will be going to the York House 'Building for Our Future' fundraising campaign. A huge thank you to Mark and the band for giving their time and talent to support our fundraising. We will be running a York House bar at this event - selling lager, beers, wines, some spirits in cans and soft drinks - with all profits going to York House.

Blame and Shame - a play by Rosemary Hill

York House Centre · Stony Stratford

A new play by Rosemary Hill about women who are blamed and shamed if they do not meet society’s ideal of femininity.

She was nineteen. Profumo was forty six, but it was apparently all Keeler’s fault! Over 16. References to sex and violence. Tickets £12.00 or £10.00 (concessions - unwaged) from https://wegottickets.com/ Rosemary is generously donating all ticket money to York House’s "Building for the future campaign", and all profits from the bar will be added to that.
