| Welcome in! |
This vibrant new arts centre on the outskirts of Tetbury opened
just six months ago but in that time has welcomed musical maestros, literary
heroes, performing puffins and Shakespearean actors. And there’s so much more
to come this autumn.
Highlights from the summer include the hilarious Alexander
McCall Smith, famed author of the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Swindon singer,
songwriter Josh Kumra, who, despite the unseasonable downpour, didn’t fail to
entertain a rain soaked audience. And the award winning folk duo, Ninebarrow.
And just last month saw one of the venue’s most successful
weekends yet, with a Friday morning filled with children making treasure maps,
a Saturday night with the fabulous Le Swing jazz band and a weekend Stone
Carving Workshop. Hundreds of people came through the doors, breathing in the
creativity, fun and atmosphere. A wonderful result for such a new arts centre.

Over the coming months, The Goods Shed will hold its first
ever stand-up comedy night. Sure to be a success, it features Tetburians past
and present amongst the acts. That’s followed by talented singer and musician
George Montague and his Notsobigband. And then the highly entertaining
Squashbox Theatre bring their Curious Creatures production. A fantastical
puppet show for families that takes the audience on a journey through the
animal kingdom.
And in October the centre welcomes Cirencester’s Maria
Jagusz as special guest star, performing alongside pianist Richard George – who
premieres his new album Train Stories. Maria has worked as a soloist for many
leading opera companies, including the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne and the
English National Opera. And can count Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Lesley
Garrett among previous singing partners.
