Event information
Tsarzi presents her one-woman show "Gone to the Dogs" - a meditation on modern Britishness, telling stories of a land steeped in nostalgia and decay, dreaming of wars and golden ages.
Tsarzi is a classically trained pianist, but also something of a Sheffield multi-instrumentalist pop icon. Her eclectic style is a riotous melting pot of cabaret musical stirred with synth-pop, humour with darkness and wordsmithery with luscious music.
She released her debut album "Last Decade of Love" to considerable acclaim in 2018, including radio play on BBC 6Music and praise from judges of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition. The album was remixed as electronica by a host of independent artists including Late Junction favourites DORCHA and released as Lost Decayed Love.
Gone to the Dogs marks a further step down the musical rabbit hole, moving through arias and unhinged shanties to echoes from the last night of the proms. In 2023 it was a Lyn Gardner pick at VAULT festival (week 5) & nominated for an Off-WestEnd award at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Tsarzi will be supported by a boisterous acoustic set from Derbyshire pop quarto-quintet - the confusingly titled Me & Mr Jones (https://meandmrjones.bandcamp.com/). Dave, Rob, Lou and John are a group of musicians who met via Hasland Theatre - they value brevity, punchiness, humour and a spot of the old theatricals, with the occasional cover and folksy ballad thrown into the mix.
If you have mobility issues, we'd be most grateful if you'd discretely let us know beforehand, and we'll arrange the seating to accommodate you comfortably....
