And of course we'll be brining you a stellar line-up of gypsy-Balkan-circus madness to warm your frosty cockles and launch you full-on into the festive season!!
DRESS CODE: Ice queens, fauns and fauna, the Green Man, Jack Frost, Winter is Coming! See your dress code album for inspiration >>> http://tinyurl.com/qzxhs9n

***GABBY YOUNG & OTHER ANIMALS***
Circus-Swing/Burlesque-Folk
We're so excited to welcome the gorgeous Gabby and her animals back into our loving cloud-shaped arms!
Fronted by flame-haired eccentric English singer/songwriter, Gabby Young, this 7-piece band brings a fresh new perspective to music that has crowds in Europe, the USA, Japan and Australia jumping for joy.
"Elements of music hall, opera, big band jazz and foot-stomping folk are all poured in to the mix with Gabby's incredible vocal gymnastics holding it all together" (The Sun)
"Words cannot describe the plethora of varying sensations Gabby bestowed upon her salivating audience. For your own insanity, Gabby Young and Other Animals must be seen live and in full technicolour." (Kentishtowner)
