Tonight weeWONDERBOX welcomes Stephen Taberner, for a musical evening of delights.

Stephen, better known as the whimsical mastermind behind the Spooky Men’s Chorale, has had a long and loyal relationship with his beloved double bass Beatrice. Over the years he’s assembled a ramshackle platoon of songs, some wistful, some achingly beautiful, and some just downright ridiculous…and has the audacity to sing them live in a mesmerising wrestle to the musical death with the formidable Beatrice (and an impossibly piquant ukelele called piglet).

Big Sing

In aid of the IONA ABBEY REFURBISHMENT APPEAL, John L. Bell and Jo Love from the Wild Goose Resource Group will lead an evening of singing – magnificent melodies, hearty harmonies –

‘Seeking Sanctuary’, the second in weeWONDERBOX’s ‘Strangers & Friends’ occasional series, which will focus on issues arising from the situation of refugees and asylum seekers.

Tonight, we offer an interactive workshop, led by Pol Yates and Kate O’Brien, which simulates and illustrates the difficult processes people must go through when seeking sanctuary in the UK. Using stories based on those of real people and events, it enables participants to discover the facts in a way which encourages them to engage with the information and empathise with those involved.
