Hannah James & Toby Kuhn
2025-04-25 19:30 - 21:30 | Malvern Cube, WR14 2YF
Malvern Cube is excited to announce the return of Hannah and Toby. Hannah has played in Malvern several times before, having brought her solo show ‘Jigdoll’ to the town, as well as performing here with her harmony vocal trio Lady Maisery.
In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby explore the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, navigating the dialogue of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways. Effortlessly blending, the pair play and dance through a series thoughtful tunes, soulful songs and joyful set-pieces in which Hannah’s vocal mastery is underpinned by Toby’s unorthodox delivery, weaving intricate layers of harmony and melody together to the beat and swish of percussive dance.
Doors and bar open at 7pm, followed by show at 7.30pm.

Hejira – Celebrating Joni Mitchell
2025-04-26 19:30 - 21:30 | Regal Tenbury Wells, 49 Teme Street, Tenbury Wells WR15 8AE
‘Hejira’ is a seven-piece band formed to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, predominantly from the late 1970s. Having released the albums The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter and Mingus (considered to be her ‘jazz period’), Mitchell then toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album Shadows And Light; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire.
Featuring highly experienced jazz musicians, including legendary guitarist Pete Oxley, Hejira is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead. Hattie has masterfully recreated the poise, power and beauty of Joni Mitchell’s vocals while also playing guitar in Joni’s unique style. Audiences can expect an evening filled with Mitchell’s greatest works, including Amelia, Woodstock, A Case Of You, Song For Sharon, Edith And The Kingpin, and more.

Vivaldi The Four Seasons
36 years ago, a young violinist changed the landscape of British music with an electrifying recording of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. The violinist was Nigel Kennedy, and the concertos were The Four Seasons – masterpieces of mood, evocation and musical storytelling that take listeners on an imaginary journey through the unbridled joys of Spring, the oppressive heat of Summer, the melancholy resignation of Autumn and the brutal ferocity of Winter.
Three centuries since the publication of Vivaldi’s concertos in Venice, Kennedy returns to the pieces that made his name and to which he brought such staggering verve and spirit back in 1989. With him, he brings an ensemble on the ascent: the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, which includes some of the finest instrumental players in Britain and enjoys relationships with a select handful of the world’s leading soloists.
The composer’s Five Dedications – part of his self-penned collection My World – are deeply personal pieces straddling the worlds of pop, jazz and folk in which the violinist pays tribute to musicians whose works have shaped him with luscious tunefulness and heartfelt playing. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one musical icon breathe life into another, and reveal a little of his intriguing self too.

Ben Ottewell of Gomez (Plus Support)
2025-05-23 20:00 - 22:00 | Regal Tenbury Wells, 49 Teme Street, Tenbury Wells WR15 8AE
Ben Ottewell is a British musician best known as the gravelly-voiced frontman of the indie rock band Gomez. Hailing from Chesterfield, England, Ottewell started his musical journey at a young age, inspired by his father’s eclectic record collection. In 1996, he co-founded Gomez with Ian Ball, Tom Gray, Paul Blackburn, and Olly Peacock while studying at university in Sheffield.
Gomez quickly gained recognition with their debut album, Bring It On, released in 1998, which won the Mercury Music Prize. Ottewell’s distinctive vocals and song-writing were integral to the band’s unique sound, noted for its blend of blues, folk, and rock elements. The band went on to release several critically acclaimed albums, including Liquid Skin (1999) and In Our Gun (2002).
Throughout Gomez’s career, Ottewell’s soulful voice and introspective lyrics resonated with fans, earning him a dedicated following. His solo career has seen him explore a more stripped-down acoustic sound, making the most of his raw talent and emotive storytelling. In 2011, Ottewell released his debut solo album, Shapes & Shadows, which followed by Rattlebag in 2014 and A Man Apart three years after that.
With a career spanning nearly three decades, Ben Ottewell continues to captivate audiences with his powerful performances and evocative song-writing, solidifying his status as one of the most distinctive voices in British rock music.
