5 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK
Updated every Monday

1.
See Instill at the 'Iguana' Egham

Instill at The Iguana, Egham, Thursday Feb 14th 2008 8:30PM
Pop/rock
Touring with those southern-comfort addled kerosene brothers otherwise known as Hayseed Dixie this springtime, local boys INSTILL (see them with the Dixie boys in LONDON on 19th April - Shepherds Bush Empire) play jumped-up hi-energy rock with plenty of pizzazz and zing.
As a live show they are unbeatable and have already supported the likes of InMe, Skindred and Thunder. Polished and capable, their flavoursome mix of funk and rock has a nice English eccentric tinge and is hugely accessible.
Actually they are quite posh-boys (it must be those Surrey and Hampshire accents) but the electric fuzz and the explosive push of Andy and Phil’s guitars are accentuated by the fulsome deep baritone vocal style of Hodge (similar to Eddie Vedder but with a blacker edge) and punched and scrambled by Alan on drums.
Instill song topics tend to concentrate on matters of social concern but they are exquisitely lightened by a sharp sense of British humour.
Sophisticated beats, a crackling vocal display and exciting riffs and melodies will see Instill become commercially successful and internationally recognised before the year is out- mark my words!
See these local heroes now before they go large…

Go to see thriller 'Sleuth' at Beck Theatre, Hayes

Sleuth at The Beck Theatre, Hayes from 11th to 16th Feb at 7.30PM
Sleuth
Sleuth is set in a Wiltshire manor house belonging to Andrew Wyke who is, himself, a successful mystery writer.
The home reflects Wyke’s obsession with the inventions and deceptions of fiction and his fascination with games and game-playing. He lures his wife’s lover, Tindle, into the house and convinces him to stage a robbery of her jewelry, a proposal that sets off a chain of events that leaves the audience trying to decipher where Wyke’s imagination ends and reality begins.
Written by Tony-award winning British playwrite Anthony Shaffer in 1970 and later transferred into a successful film directed by Kenneth Branagh (starring Michael Caine) in 2007, this new production stars Simon MacCorkindale, best known for his role as Consultant Harry Harper in Casualty. Joining him on stage is film and television star Michael Praed, who is well remembered as the original Robin of Sherwood, and whose roles on American television include Dynasty and The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne.
Alive with nail biting anticipation this psychological thriller promises to baffle even the most proficient sleuth!
