We Live in Time

John Crowley / UK 2024 / 109 min / Cert 15

A time-hopping romantic comedy drama in which chef, Almut (Florence Pugh), and Tobias (Andrew Garfield) are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives.

Through snapshots of their life together — falling for each other, building a home, becoming a family – a difficult truth is revealed that rocks its foundation.

As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken, in filmmaker John Crowley’s decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.

The excellent performances and palpable chemistry of the two leads, together with the non-linear narrative and a willingness to tackle complex issues beyond joy and tragedy, raise this film above the expectations of the genre, making it a smart and mature crowd-pleaser.

Scott Bennett: Stuff 2026

As heard on BBC Radio 4!

As a society we love stuff, it’s a statement about who we are and who we want to be.

But apparently, this message is at odds with the looming environmental crisis. We’re now struggling to balance these worlds, to focus on the things that bring us real connections and nourish the soul.

Award-winning Comedian and Award-winning Product Designer, Scott Bennett is desperately trying to cleanse his life of stuff, but is this even possible anymore?

Tour support for Mickey Flanagan, Rob Brydon Jason Manford, and John Bishop.

The star of Live at the Apollo, The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Ultimate Choice and Chortle Best Club Comedian Nominee 2022.

“Without doubt live comedy’s best kept secret” Evening Standard

“Great material, great delivery, a very funny man” Rob Brydon

“Brilliantly funny, a joy to watch” Chris Ramsey

“Bennett is a stand-up in fine control of his material, his delivery and his image, a masterclass in adding a frisson of ‘in the moment’ unpredictability to otherwise tightly written routines” **** Chortle

The Shires – The Two of Us Tour

The UK’s biggest country music export The Shires have announced an intimate acoustic tour for 2024.

The two of us tour will see Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes tour the length and breadth of the UK performing all their classic tracks.
The Shires achievements speak for themselves: three consecutive UK Top 3 albums, four number 1 UK Country albums, 100 million+ streams, two Gold-certified records, and countless sold- out headline shows, including filling the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.

The Shires first broke through in 2014 with their single ‘Nashville Grey Skies’, a playful song about Britain needing its own country scene. And that’s something which they helped happen, starting with their 2015 debut Brave, which became the first ever Top 10 album by a UK country music artist. That success continued with a succession of hit albums: 2016’s My Universe, 2018’s Accidentally On Purpose, 2020’s Good Years and 2022’s 10 Year Plan.
Their authenticity saw them embraced by the Nashville scene immediately, leading to two CMA Awards, touring highlights including C2C Festival and shows as guests to Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, The Corrs and more.
