Transmission: The Sound Of Joy Division
The Fox is thrilled to welcome back Transmission on Thursday 12th February. Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching and they were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Forty years on you can still relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission, the UK’s premier band playing homage to their music. Check out the band here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydvX3ngsR2E "Unlike many tribute bands who make great efforts to look like clones of the band they cover, Transmission concentrate solely on the sound and musical ability of Joy Division, and they pull it off perfectly.” "They're so faithful to the actual songs it's unreal. Even ones like Atmosphere which you think wouldn't work well live, they have the crowd going wild for." "I go to Sub 89, Reading regularly and have seen Sham 69, UK Subs and The Damned amongst others and can safely say Transmission's performance was as good as any I've seen. there."

Masterclass by Tim Connery
directed by Luke Adamson presented by The Bridge House Theatre Its evening in the classroom of a small primary school and its time for a Masterclass but who is teaching who? Thanks to a minor disagreement with the tax man, ageing Shakespearean thespian and faded film star Roger Sutherland is forced to swallow his pride and start offering paid evening acting masterclasses in local primary schools and community halls. Its a far cry from the West End, but the show must go on. Enter stage left Gary Brock a brash, young Australian actor with a TV past and big ambitions. Once a child star Down Under, Gary has crossed the globe to reignite his career in the land of Shakespeare, but instead finds himself face to face with Roger, whose disdain for modern acting methods is matched only by his contempt for actors who dont know their soliloquies from their stage directions. With clashing egos, wildly different philosophies on acting, and a few forgotten lines along the way, sparks fly and tempers flare. But beneath the posturing and put-downs, could these two actors actually have something to learn from one another? A sharp, funny, and heartfelt exploration of art, ambition, and the fine line between performance and reality. Tuesday 20 Saturday 24 January2026 at 7.30pm No performances: Sundays and Mondays Tickets: 17, 15 conc, suitable for 16+ Terms and conditions apply when booking. Our concessionary price tickets are for: full-time students, over 65s, registered unwaged, under 18s and Equity Members. Please bring proof of status.Read more
