Sundial Sundays: The Popinjays & The Metatrons

Join us in pretty Waterlow Park for a summer BBQ plus a double bill of FREE music as two well-established indie acts perform live on the Tea Lawn…

Indie veterans, The Popinjays, return after a 21 year hiatus. After a critically acclaimed John Peel session, three albums on One Little Indian Records, a US College Radio hit “Vote Elvis”, and tours with They Might Be Giants, The Fatima Mansions, and the Kitchens of Distinction, The Pops called it a day in 1994. Since 2015 they have shared bills with The Darling Buds, The Wonder Stuff, and The Wedding Present. Back with their original set of 90s Indie Pop, Wendy, Polly and the drum machine are currently working on a special limited-edition, legacy release, again with OLI.

The Metatrons are an Indie band from Hitchin. Their second album, “Patterns of Chaos” has recently been featured on BBC6 Music and Sky TV.

Relax on the grass with a burger and a cold drink while you enjoy family-friendly live music as part of our ongoing Sundial Sundays season.

The Popinjays & The Metatrons performance will take place between 2.30 and 4.30pm on 12 August. All sessions are free to attend and open to everyone. See the full programme of Sundial Sunday performances here.

Sundial Sundays have been generously sponsored by the Co-op Community Fund.

Confessions of a Superhero @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Aug 15 @ 8:45 pm – 10:45 pm

Presented by A Major Theatre Company

New musical Confessions of a Superhero centres around a young girl named Jenny-lee and her quest to discover her true identity in a world where the extraordinary is just… ordinary. Haunted by her own untameable powers, she seeks out a group dedicated to helping Superheroes cope with the daily struggles and pressures that come with the job, in the hope that they will provide her with some much needed guidance. However, it quickly becomes clear that the heroes Jenny once looked up to aren’t as super as she once thought, a realisation made even more worrying by the resurgence of a powerful super villain. Will Jenny be able to find the path destiny has always intended? Or will this lost soul, as so many do, fly too close to the sun?

It’s Beautiful, Over There @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse

Thomas Edison’s last words were “It’s very beautiful over there”.
In this new piece of writing, the audience is presented with a powerful story of a young adult’s effort to cope with the unexpected death of a close friend.
A one-woman show about understanding death and grief, the importance of telling stories, and the ways in which we live on through the legacy we leave behind in our names and our memories. And how to fold origami swans.

Larkin Descending @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Sep 7 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

It is 1985. Philip Larkin is the nation’s best-loved poet. He sits in his suburban house in Hull, drinking too much, listening to his beloved jazz and wondering why he can’t write any more.

Larkin is brought vividly to life by Brighton actor Graham White in this witty and intriguing production.

Miss Dietrich Regrets (Naledi Award). And this is my friend Mr Laurel, with Jeffrey Holland (Edinburghand tour), Two Sisters (Los Angeles and UK). Most recently is The Mitfords. Oberon have published two collections of Gail’s plays.
