Word of Warning — Weekly Warning

As May and the Local Elections loom, rumours abound that the Govt may be about to hit the panic button and call the Big One - maybe as a distraction from the runaway horse of defeat...

This weekend on Sat 27 Apr for us, at Word of Warning, it's all about ELOINA's High Steaks at The Lowry; while David Hoyle's Still Got It is at Aviva Studios. On Sun 28 Apr Ute Lemper's Time Traveller is at the RNCM.

Further afield, tonight Fri 26 Apr there are choices to be made: in Liverpool, Habibi Funk's Berber Boy is at the Unity (part of Up Next Festival until 4 May); and LEAP Dance Festival kicks off at the Black E and runs until 10 May; while in Leeds, Jo Hauge + Nicol Parkinson's kiss&cry is at CLAY.
