The Lock-In ‘Remixed’
Saturday 2 September, 7.30pm, Cheltenham Town Hall
With live music by BBC Radio 2 award-winning powerhouse The Demon
Barbers, some of the UK’s oldest forms of dance are brought up to date
with some of the youngest, in this family friendly, celebration of dance
culture. A group of hip hop dancers arrive at an apparently deserted pub,
but local rumour has it that this tumble-down inn is frequented by other
worldly characters and, as the regulars arrive, a clash of cultures soon
turns into a dance floor stand-off.
