A Cabaret at the End of the World

Cygnet Theatre · Exeter

The Apocolypse has come and gone. Two actors have holed up in and old theatre with the aim of keeping showbiz alive despite the end of days. However, the only bums on seats belong to the cockroaches. And… what’s that – a knock on the stage door? Who is out there? Friend or critic? Can the two old thespians put on a production to impress their visitor? Or will it be their final curtain call?

A Different Thread

Green Note · London

Some things are just meant to be. Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony that was serendipitous. In the decade since forming A Different Thread, Best and Jackson have taken their act on the road, touring over a dozen countries, supporting artists such as Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star), and garnering critical praise from the likes of Folk Radio UK, which hailed the duo as “warm, deep songwriters that have drank from the well of 20th century tradition.” Their sound is transcontinental, blending Jackson's British folk rock background with Best's North Carolina-bred alt-country melodies. Informed by their life experiences (navigating visas, vanlife, love across oceans) and liberal commentary on both environmental and social justice topics. While inspired by artists like Gillian Welch, The Avett Brothers, and John Prine, A Different Thread maintain a distinct sound that is all their own.
