"Chamber music for after the bomb!" - Jamie Harrison

Having sold out the Tobacco Factory and brought its audience unanimously to their feet, Pepino have turned their eye to the Cube for their next theatrical adventure.

For this very special show, Pepino, consisting of violin, cello, double bass, drums and vocals led by Blythe on piano, team up with visual artist Paul Blakemore to bring you "battlistica": a rendition of their epic/comic songs in a war-based environment alongside images from a battle reconstruction complete with shopping trolleys and fire extinguishers.

"Pepino are simply unmissable." - Venue magazine

In support comes Shona Foster, from the desolate Yorkshire Moors via Brighton. Her delicate songs, supported by strings, piano and percussion, bewitch and fascinate in equal measure, and won her début EP "single of the fortnight in The List.
