Theatre / Courtyard Sessions
Bristol Old Vic announces return of sell-out Courtyard Sessions
After last year’s sell-out season, a lineup of live music will be returning to the Old Vic’s Courtyard Stage this summer.
The programme will kick off on August 3, as musician and theatremaker, Brook Tate showcases his jazz and soul with folk and theatre blend.
Hammond Organ and Drum duo Osmoid featuring Joe Wilkins will take to the stage on August 4, with Jakabol following on August 10 and Sura Susso & Pete Yelding on August 11, promising an eclectic series of gigs with something for everyone’s taste.
The brand new Pizzarova x Grano Kitchen collaboration will also be open to help fuel a summer of eating, drinking and live music.
Speaking about the planned performances, projects manager Sian Weeding said: “The Courtyard gave us the opportunity to entertain our city during the pandemic when everything felt disconnected and uncertain.
“We welcomed old friends and new with poetry, rap, hip hop, dance, drag, song and bubbles. Now it’s back, at a new time of transition as we move slowly back indoors once again.
“We want to celebrate this movement with uplifting beats, soulful riffs and lyrical licks. We’ve got four fresh bands ready to re-light the Courtyard Stage and breathe new energy into the space that sits between the inside and outside of our theatre.
“We’re bringing back the Courtyard in a big way and we want as many people to join in this celebration as possible. Let’s start something new together.”
