Wednesday 22nd August 07 - Urban Artz Presents Off The Road At Hull New Adelphi Club 8pm - 11 pm

Inspired by the carefree Beatnik shenanigans of the '50s and - more specifically (and bang-up-to-date) - Hull's own burgeoning scene of artistic mavericks, Urban Artz is proud to present Off The Road at the New Adelphi Club on Wednesday 22nd August, 8 - 11 p.m. And it's only £3.00 to get on board for a capacity-filled evening of live music, poetry, performance art and theatre. In between their busy touring, filmmaking and recording commitments, the evening will be hosted by the renowned duo CrackTown (described in some quarters as being 'anti-folk'- but they do like people, really), and who are firmly-established in the region for their caustic wit, immediately catchy tunes, and well-aimed profanity.

A number of already 'out there' and up-and-coming poets will be sounding off their thoughts in a direct and no-nonsense manner, including the verbal (and sometimes visceral) delights of Mike Watts, Paul England, and the joint winner of Poetry Idol '07, Joe Hakim. In addition to original music and poetry, Off The Road will also showcase work from the worlds of theatre and performance. Scarlet Lights are Hull's own new, vibrant all-female theatre company and, with the debut of its new piece Sheality, promise to leave the audience gagging for more.

The grandly titled Philip Wincolmlee Barnes is offering (and/or threatening) his own brand of performance art, which frequently spirals between comedy, self-abasement and minor acts of self-destruction - always in the most entertaining of ways. Doing himself an injustice by describing himself as 'a cheeky potty-mouth short arse', Jim Sorrow (formerly of the Freaks Union, frequently regarded up and down the country as the best punk band this side of '77), will be howling his own manic brand of intense 'banjo punk n' roll', and showing off his impressive canvas of tattoos.

Well-known local artist Yol (who once appeared on TV trying to sell a plate of uneaten food) will be presenting his new collaborative music-and-guttural aural assault 5-7-5; given his somewhat-notorious tenure in previous bands, such as Gobble And The Cocks' and S**t Loads of F**k All, this doesn't promise to be the easy-listening part of the evening. By contrast, there will be an acoustic set by the versatile and dexterous singer-songwriter Ussif Nagi, whose encyclopaedic repertoire includes original compositions and other firm favourites. Another musical highlight, and the climax of the night overall, will be The James Dean Syndrome, a group of blues-funk young bloods, who will be kicking out the sort of jams that is cementing their already-escalating reputation as big stage contenders.

With this sort of standing room only line-up, with your support Off The Road can't possibly crash and burn. Urban Artz, who promote and stage events for the local artistic community, aims to make this a regular feature on Hull's own cultural sat-nav system, offering a free lift to diverse and promising acts who wish to get on board. To contact Urban Artz, ask for their project manager Jayne Wright on 07852 311631 or email her at . jayney.wright@hotmail.co.uk. Bus fare: £3.00
