A thrilling rollercoaster ride with spectacle, heartfelt storytelling, and cultural authenticity.

Sid Akbar‘s work is deeply rooted in his personal experiences as a Queer British Pakistani from a Muslim background, and is driven by a passion for social and political change. For years, Sid found that there was a lack of representation for queer Muslim stories and roles for individuals like himself. As a result, he has dedicated his career to not only amplifying his own voice but also the voices of queer people of colour, working harder to ensure their stories are heard in a world that often overlooks them.

This new work in progress, “The Wrath of Khandan”, invites audiences on a thrilling rollercoaster ride with spectacle, heartfelt storytelling, and cultural authenticity, celebrating family in all its complexities, contradictions, and infinite possibilities.

Jacob Alon

SOLD-OUT.

The first show to be announced for this year's Happy Valley Pride festival, Jacob Alon is a Scottish singer-songwriter with a profound gift for storytelling. Both intimate and devastatingly introspective, their music is touched by a rare timelessness. Drawing fair comparisons to artists such as Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright, Alon’s sound cuts through the air with powerful and haunting vocals, intricate guitar playing, and pensive, poetic lyrics. 

'Breathtaking' - NME.

'A distinctive and powerful voice' - Rolling Stone.

'Heart-stoppingly beautiful' - Clash.

'They are going to be huge' - The Herald.

Alon recently made a big impression on Later with Jools Holland (see the video below)...
