Chris Smither

West End Centre

Chris Smither is a true American original bluesman who has distilled his own sound after 50 years on the road.

He has always travelled his own road, eschewing sophisticated studio tricks and staying true to his musical vision whilst still drawing deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. Smithers is a profound songwriter and a blistering guitarist (citing Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt as his two major influences) who is, as he puts it, a 'one-man-b

Chris Wood

West End Centre

Chris Wood is an uncompromising writer whose music reveals his love for the unrecorded history of the people, so it’s only right that his new album ‘So Much to Defend’ touches on minor league football, empty nest syndrome, learning to swim, Cook-in Sauce and, not least, the Gecko as a metaphor for contemporary society.

He’s won six BBC Folk Awards, so it’s no surprise that live Chris Wood has the air of a craftsman who no longer needs to be precious about his art. With no apparent effort he rea

Shell Shock

Shell Shock is one soldier’s story of coping with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tommy Atkins’ observations on life on civvy street are poignant, frequently comic and always moving. His over-emotional responses to post office queues, a trip to Ikea, his relationships and family lead to alienation and anger.

The play is based upon a novel first published in 2011, by Iraq veteran Neil Watkin (writing as Neil Blower), who was diagnosed with PTSD after leavi
