Event information

Tour & Album Launch at The Brunswick.

Christmas morning. A dead man in a locked bedroom in a house full of secrets. Everybody has a motive. But who’s got the key?

Murder At The Grange is a Christmas murder mystery in spoken word & song, created by acclaimed songwriter Robb Johnson & performed by Robb & The Xmas Irregulars.

Presented in the style of a BBC radio drama, there and a narrator, cast members reading as various characters in the narrative, appropriately absurd sound effects - and added original festive songs that comment on the action & reference traditional seasonal conventions (Father Christmas, mistletoe, sprouts etc). 

The show consists of two halves, just under an hour each half, there is a fairly equal balance between suspense & comedy.

This year's cast is 
Sian Allen - trumpet, vocals,
John Forrester - double bass, vocals
Robb Johnson – vocals, guitar
Fae Simon - vocals
Roger Stevens – narrator

Last year Murder at the Grange premiered to enthusiastic, sold-out audiences at The Ropetackle in Shoreham & Chats Palace in Hackney – “a cracker of a show… a delightful extravaganza and a uniquely dark and different way to celebrate the winter season” was Folk Radio’s opinion.

This year, there’s a more extensive tour and a soundtrack LP out on Irregular Records.

We are looking forward to celebrating both the tour & the album release with our gig at the Brunswick!
