Masterclass: Christmas Beer

Will Young returns with forthcoming, ninth studio album, “Light It Up”, due for release on 9 August. To celebrate the new album, Will is embarking on his most intimate tour yet – taking shape as an up close and personal evening of acoustic performances, stories and conversation. New single, Falling Deep, channels the nostalgia of 80s pop with a modern, soulful touch that sits somewhere between The Police and The Weeknd. ‘Falling Deep’ speaks to the sweet surrender of giving into a new experience, however dangerous or out of control it makes you feel. It is the perfect introduction to Will’s first album of originals in five years. Featuring special guest: Rachel Sage.

When Sarah Millican was a bairn, she wouldn’t say boo to a goose. Quiet at school, not many friends, no boobs til she was sixteen. Now? NOW she is loud, with good friends, a cracking rack and goose booing all over the shop. In Late Bloomer, Sarah’s brand-new stand-up show, she explores how one became the other. Plus, lots of stuff about dinners and lady gardens. Come along, laugh at her, with her, beside her.
