Join us upstairs in the LIVE LOUNGE at 2:30pm for the AMAZING Chris Tavener!!

Storytelling songs and cynical social commentary meet in the performances of Chris Tavener.
His theatrical style delivers lyrics written from the perspective of flawed characters; drawn from the bitter and humorous parts of 21st century life. His often comedic words set to original folk and rock melodies have generated unique comparisons from Bob Dylan to Flight of the Conchords, to Jake Bugg and Tim Minchin.

Originally from Northwich in Cheshire, Tavener has toured across the UK, Ireland and Europe with his songs being heard on BBC 6 Music and multiple BBC Introducing stations. He’s popular for his live performance that has seen him sharing the stage with Super Hans, Tony Hadley and Peter Hook while also writing songs for the likes of Sir Ian McKellen.

Tavener's debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival came in 2024, with a one-man show entitled ‘Chris Tavener is Faking Cool’. 15 evenings in August were met with a slew of four and five star reviews and a string of sold out shows. The success of the run led to an invitation to support folk songwriter Gaz Brookfield on tour, as well as rock ‘n’ roll legend, John Otway.
