Rocking at 50
Join Alistair Izobell for a music-fuelled celebration as he marks turning 50 with a high-energy return to the stage.
Back at the Baxter after years away, he leads a tight live band featuring Charlton Daniels (musical director: bass and vocals), Brynne Bailey (keys, guitar, vocals, percussion) and Devanish Hendricks (piano and vocals) in an hour-and-a-half of original music, storytelling and comedy.
Four men, aged 50, 40, 38 and 29, share the stage to unpack ageing, fading youth, hard-earned lessons and the comedy of staring back at yourself in the mirror. Izobell becomes that reflection, louder and wiser but still refusing to slow down.
Where: Baxter Studio.
When: Runs until Saturday, July 18, at 8pm.
