Crow – Live at The Vale
🗓 Saturday 24th May | 🕖 Doors 7pm | 🎟 Donate What You Can
Recommended age: 14+ | Duration: ~1hr 30 mins

A gig… with a twist.
What starts as a live music performance by three musicians slowly transforms into something much stranger – and funnier.

As night falls, songs give way to surreal surprises: playful illusions, shadowy video projections, and a good dose of offbeat comedy. Imagine a cross between a dreamy gig and a magic show gone slightly off the rails – more Tommy Cooper than David Blaine.

CROW is a visually rich, genre-bending experience that blends music, theatre, projection, and sleight-of-hand into a darkly comic journey through the unexpected.

Created by Avanti Display – one of the UK’s most inventive outdoor performance companies – this is a show full of imagination, absurdity, and wonder.

“A wonderfully curious and genre-defying musical and visual performance.”
— Inside Out Dorset Festival

👁️‍🗨️ The evening opens with a special pre-show performance from Jon Mambo

Jon Mambo is a guitarist, vocalist, bass player and writer. He got his nickname ‘Mambo’ from earlier years as guitarist in the Manchester based Afro-Latin Jazz ensemble ” The Mambo’s”. Jon’s focus right now is on Brazilian and African style music played on the acoustic guitar and electric bass, delving into the rhythmic and percussive foundations of the music and culture.
