ZRI Band: Adventures with Charlie Chaplin

We’re excited to announce that we have now re-booked the wonderful ZRI band in their special show, 'Adventures with Charlie Chaplin'. Part concert, part film screening, the audience is transported to the melting pot of early 20th Century New York where jazz, klezmer and classical music intertwine in film soundtracks. ZRI match the wit, virtuosity and sheer brilliance of Chaplin in his creative prime as they perform live alongside his early classic ‘The Adventurer’. The show brought the house down at The Royal Albert Hall, so we know it’ll be a night to remember here in Crowborough.

7.30 pm
Crowborough Community Centre
£22 members/£25 non members.
Tickets are available direct from Crowborough Arts (email angelavb@waitrose.com), or you can purchase them online from Ticket Tailor; just press the green button opposite (booking fee applies).
