As well as a wild variety of great music: The Rutles and fifth Python Neil Innes; from legendary British soul singer Linda Lewis to Gary Louris of influential American alternative country band, The Jayhawks, flying in especially.Pete Aves & The Manuals - the guitarist from The High Llamas provides the house band. MC Wesley Stace - This Sussex-born "renaissance man" (The New Yorker) bestrides the literary and musical worlds like a slightly camp colossus. His new album, recorded with alt-country legends The Jayhawks was released by Yep Roc in February of this year.
“The Cabinet began as a way of bringing together my writer friends who often envy my musician friends with my musician friends who sometimes envy my writer friends and the comedians who generally envy - and are envied by - both of them”, Stace explains. “Basically, it’s only things I love. You can have your own show, and this is mine. Over the years the shows have established a convivial atmosphere all of their own - Harry Hill likened it to the Alternative Cabaret of our youth - and I can't wait to bring that mood back to London.”
