£8 / £6 concs - Box Office: 0116 2554854
Mark Gwynne Jones and the Psychicbread offer a fresh and original show that inspires and entertains. Here is an intertwining of voice, rhythm, world music and vivid poetry. A powerful act capable of transforming the mundane into magical landscapes and leading an audience through bewildered innocence to laughter and dance.Mixing contemporary narratives with ethnic percussion, piano, kora and flute, the Psychicbread underscore and empower the spoken word. The sound is fresh yet the form is an old one. It is that of the griot or bard, but one who has come not to merely repeat the words but to remind us what the words really mean. This is a show that draws on an ancient tradition yet tackles the complexities of our changing world with a beautiful and savage humour.
