Drunk Women Solving Crime is a true crime podcast with a twist… of lime. Join writer/comedian hosts Hannah George, Catie Wilkins and Taylor Glenn as they welcome top guests from comedians to crime writers to test out their drunk detective skills.

Each episode sees the boozed-up panel tackle personal crime stories, solve true crime cases, and seek justice for your listener crimes. When women sit around and drink, we try to solve the world’s problems. So, we’re taking back the night and putting our inebriation to good use. You’re welcome!

Join the Drunk Women for a LIVE episode of their podcast right here in Guernsey.

Guest comedian now announced!! We are very happy to have the wonderful Angela Barnes back at St James, this time she will be joining the Drunk Women on stage and solving crimes.

The Drunk Women are writer, comedian, award nominated YA and children’s author Catie Wilkins, award-winning screenwriter Hannah George and award-winning comic, writer, and former psychotherapist Taylor Glenn. The podcast is produced by Amanda Redman.

If you love true crime, laughing and drinking or indeed all three, then come along, solve some crime and raise a glass with the drunk women.

BIT OF SKA, BIT OF PUNK, A WHOLE LOT OF RIOT

Attentive local audiences might remember Karl Phillips and The Rejects from the Vale Earth Fair a few years ago, with their completely original mashup of ska, punk & grime with a hip-hop nod at luminaries like The Clash, The Specials & Mike Skinner.

Karl’s refreshingly honest lyrics test the boundaries of the human mind and the English etiquette, coming from a place most people can relate to but never dare to mention!

Local band The Honest Crooks are the perfect fit to support this UK Brass/Ska riot. No introduction needed, come and dance!

Fabio and Grooverider, the Godfathers of Drum & Bass and legends of modern music are coming to Guernsey to remind us of fun we had 30 years ago!

Voted in the top 25 greatest DJs of all time by Mixmag the pair also won the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Music Awards at DJ Mag’s Best of British awards in 2005. Starting out on Pirate Radio in the late 80s, Fabio & Grooverider fueled the energy of the streets, the illegal, massively-attended raves of the late 80s instantly back to the airwaves and with that were responsible for the early days of ‘Jungle Techno’.

Since then the duo never looked back and have become massively influential to up and coming artists, such as as Goldie, Bailey, Matrix & many more over the years. Fabio & Grooverider don’t simply DJ. And they don’t simply present radio. They are both respective auteurs and the collective embodiment of a pleasing paradox: they love the past and are impatient for the future, and this shines through.

Join them at St James this February for a return to the 90’s, lasers and all!

The Baghdaddies’ exuberant and rampant brand of world music is an exhilarating cocktail of Balkan melodies, ska and latin grooves and sizzling brass played with furious energy and theatrical humour, making them as unforgettable on stage as they are when performing as wandering brass troubadours.

This March they are back for their third gig at St James, and we just can’t get enough of them. For those who haven’t seen them yet, here is an excerpt of Tom Girard’s review of their 2019 show at St James:

“Ending with a kind of surf/ska hybrid number it wasn’t long before they were back for an encore that ended with them heading back off stage to busk in amongst the people, even taking up place behind the bar at the back of the room bringing the night to a close on a high and with the audience really still wanting more!”

Support comes from local band Russell and the French Boys.

Put on your dancing boots and get ready for a great night out.

Formed in 1974 by students at the Royal Academy of Music under the guidance of renowned quartet leader, Sidney Griller, they rapidly achieved national recognition, and were appointed Quartet in- Residence by the University of Warwick in 1977, a post which they held for over forty years. The Quartet, which includes two of its founder members, has performed and broadcast extensively throughout the UK, and has made tours of Western Europe, the Americas, Australia, China, India and the Far East.

The Coull Quartet has made over 30 recordings featuring a wide selection of the repertoire closest to their hearts, from the complete Mendelssohn and Schubert quartets to 20th century and contemporary British chamber music. These have received universal acclaim, some being picked out as ‘Editor’s Choice’ in The Gramophone and as the ‘Benchmark Recording’ by BBC Music Magazine. Their impressive and wide-ranging list of commissions includes works by most leading composers.

The Coull Quartet enjoy a special relationship with the Channel Islands, especially with Guernsey through their many appearances over the years and their involvement with the Guernsey Symphony Orchestra and Elizabeth College Summer Orchestral Course. They even performed in St James before its restoration as a concert hall to demonstrate to States Deputies its highly rated acoustic qualities. Thank you Coull Quartet!

After experimenting with a Zoom gig where he got muted by 639 people and a Drive-in gig where Omid witnessed an audience member get out his car, attach a hose pipe to his exhaust and feed it through the window; multi award-winning comedian and actor Omid Djalili is now where he belongs, on a stage and bringing back the Good Times.
