49 Entertainment THE AQUARIAN PARTY is
back this week for yet another brilliant line-up, with Mount Nakara headlining the Queens Hall, Narberth on Friday night (Jan 20). Modernising traditional dub
influences, Mount Nakara bring sound system culture to the stage with an upbeat, bass-heavy live performance. Described as cinematic, echo riddled, sub driven, immersive live dub, the result is a fresh take on UK roots music. Now in its 16th year, The Aquarian
Party features The Chalk Outlines, an 18 legged Ska Band from West Wales, fresh from the Xmas Bonanza. Their debut EP has already been
labelled ‘full of fantastic fast paced two-tone ska twisted by Balkan, Latin and Hip-Hop Influences’ by legendary Skazine and Independent Label Do the Do Music. Formed in 2015, the band have
been whipping audiences into a frenzy across their native Wales, the south- west and London with their stomping live shows. Featuring members and ex-
members of cult West Wales bands The Rude em Outs, Beneath the Reef and The Dapper Cadavers, the band are currently recording and getting ready to tour their eagerly awaited second EP. Aquarian founder DJ Shanna
came up with the idea when she decided to throw a party to celebrate her 40th birthday: “I decided to throw my own party, booked the Queens Hall and Electric Groove Temple, it was a huge success and the Aquarian Party was born!” Since its inception in 2000, the
Aquarian Party has gone from strength to strength, and has been host to such names as Babyhead, Joi and Kissmet. A hugely popular winter event
on everyone’s calendar, the top class standard of music makes the Queens Hall the number one destination to blow away the January cobwebs. With the trademark Aquarian
Party decor, plus sets from Aquarian regulars DJ Papa Jam, DJ Maya Mitten, and Aquarian founder DJ Shanna, 2017 is set to start with a bang!
Mount Nakara: Headlining this year’s Aquarian Party Step Into the Woods in Milford
IN A BROTHERS GRIMM-
inspired musical coming to The Torch this week, audiences will be warned to be careful what they wish for.
One of Pembrokeshire’s best loved
amateur groups, Artistic Licence, will be performing Steven Sondheim’s award-winning show ‘Into the Woods’ at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven from Thursday (Jan 26) until the following Saturday, January 28, every evening at 7.30pm. Filled to the brim with a feast of
fabled characters, ‘Into the Woods’ includes live music and a host of well-known local faces such as Marcus Lewis, Glesni Edwards, Chloe Wheeler and Geraint Sayers. Directed by Carol Mackintosh, whose previous sell-out shows at the
Torch Theatre have included ‘The Lady in the Van’, ‘Quartet’ and ‘Moll Flanders’, this is definitely not to be missed. The story follows The Baker and
his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk. When the Baker and his wife are
visited by the neighbourhood witch, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, the two set off on a journey into the woods to reverse the curse. Also in the woods, we meet Little
Red Riding Hood, who is trying to visit her grandmother, the Wolf who loves tasty little girls, the Witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and the Princes chasing after their loves.
By the end of Act I, everyone has
gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after. But in Act II, when Jack’s beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their kingdom, but sacrifices must be made. Tickets are £14, or £12 for
concessions, and are available to book online at
www.torchtheatre.co.uk or by calling the Box Office on 01646 695267. Customers can now print their own tickets at home, so there will be no need to queue at the Box Office. Why not make an evening of it and
pre-book your theatre meal with the newly refurbished Cafe Torch as well?
