Sista Jam

The Family Vogue Ball

Experience the lifeenhancing power of the ballroom. Four houses go head to head in an epic vogue ball for all the family. A performer from each house will catwalk, dance and lip sync to be crowned by you the audience. Part theatre show, part Vogue Ball: Glamour, Glitz and Grace come together in a fabulous celebration of self-expression.

The Kate Bush Experience

Kate Bush’s eclectic and experimental musical style, unconventional lyrics, and literary themes have made her a unique but rarely seen performer. Now there is a new wave of followers as ‘Running up that Hill’ tops the charts again. The Kate Bush Experience is a collection of highly experienced musicians who recreate the great music and vibe of Ms Bush. Fronted by the very talented Maria Ahearn, The Kate Bush Experience perform all of Kate’s hit singles as they would have been originally performed live: ‘Wuthering Heights’, ‘Cloudbusting’, ‘The Man with a Child in His Eyes’, ‘Babooshka’, ‘Running Up That Hill’, and more, bringing you as close as you’re ever likely to get to the legendary artist.
