Hailed as 'Masterful' by Gramophone Magazine, Michael Poll's 7-String Bach has been streamed over 1 million times since its release on Orchid Classics in 2018.

A seven string guitar is a special musical creature: it duplicates the range of the modern guitar plus five notes taken from the double bass.

November 8-12 – Spike

An absurdly funny new play by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman that delves into the inner workings of one of our most unique and brilliantly irreverent comedy minds.

It's the booming fifties, and Britain is in the clutches of Goon mania as men, women and children across the country scramble to get their ear to a wireless for another instalment of The Goon Show.

While Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers get down to the serious business of becoming overnight celebrities, fellow Goon and chief writer Spike finds himself pushing the boundaries of comedy, and testing the patience of the BBC.
