THIS SUNDAY 13TH MAY

STANLEY BRINKS AND THE FLYING KANIKS

(SOME CHEAP TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE)

Stanley and his musical collaborator in chief the charming, French singer Freschard are back to The Waiting Room again following the Berlin-based duos memorable show here last year. 

And they're back with a bang! and a band!

An original member of the Herman Düne trio, and with a big following across Europe, the UK and the US, Stanley/Andre Herman Dune has played shows under various other names: Ben Dope, Ben Haschish, Klaus Bong, John Trawling and Lord Stanislas.

His band The Flying Kaniks are a bunch of Norwegian hipsters playing trombone, fiddle and double bass– promising a spectacle of good-time music crossed with a folksy calypso. He’s been championed by the likes of Jeff Lewis (who even wrote a song about how Herman Dune were better when Andre was still in them) and in 2010 he teamed up with much-loved UK indie-folkers The Wave Pictures to release the album ‘Stanley Brinks and The Wave Pictures’ (Ciao Ketchup).

‘Ten songs of a quality as high as this represents another pleasant and worthy outing from Brinks in his post Herman Düne world’ – DrownedInSound

Doors 7pm - Tickets: £7 in advance/£9 on the night

(get them here on the WR website)

Tickets are also available directly from the restaurant.

Here's Andre/Stanley singing Small Town Boy on the Skins soundtrack. 

Mind you - his own stuff is much more cheerful.

THIS IS A SPECIAL ONE-OFF SHOW UNTIL WE RETURN WITH OUR FULL SUNDAY NIGHT MATCHBOX CABARET EXTRAVAGANZA IN SEPTEMBER.

 

STAY TUNED!
