Paul Diello presents
Epicene
After a successful stint of three sold and five star reviewed performances at Brighton Fringe Festival, award-winning musician Paul Diello invites you to his gender-blending celebration of iconic women in music. Join the Brighton-based avant-garde performer and his band on a colourful camp cabaret extravaganza as they reimagine classic female songs originally performed by legendary singers such as Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Bjork and PJ Harvey to name but a few. Dance, sing, laugh and cry as Paul interweaves his journey of childhood out-castings and social misfittery into well-loved compositions. Every sense will be tantalised in this outrageous, rainbow-coloured romp.
Embob and Joanne Arrowsmith on Backing Vocals, Francesco Bonini on Guitar, Alfie Weedon on Double Bass, Patrick Ytting on Keyboard, John Creigan on Cajon and Tessa Gilles on Violin.
