Soothe the post summer holiday blues with this lovely episode of Turn Up The Volume. Nigel Planer and Henry Normal are coming to The Stables for an evening of poetry, stories and much more. Nigel is perhaps best known for his role in the Young Ones and has enjoyed a prolifically successful West End career. Henry is the creator behind The Royle Family and the Mrs Merton Show and played a leading role in household favourites such as Gavin & Stacey and Alan Partridge. Hear them talk to Nick about their careers and their absolute love of poetry...

Vonda Shepard was the voice behind the multi award-winning series Ally McBeal, creating the theme tune, as well as producing over 500 tracks for the show. She is also a wonderful, soulful singer songwriter with a fantastic catalogue of work behind her. She's a great listen, for fans and non-fans of Ally alike!

Seckou Keita plays the incredibly complex instrument, the Kora. He writes and performs disarmingly beautiful music. He take Nick on a journey through his West African heritage, his European influences and his passion for the music of his childhood.
