The Hard Times Orchestra – Even more ‘Wasted and Wounded’

What’s On

At Seven we aim to bring the best in local and regional performing arts, and great talent from further afield, plus a diverse range of interesting and entertaining films from all over the world.

Now that autumn is here, events have moved into Seven’s venue, which is laid out cabaret style in a socially distanced format. Events are by ticket only or on a Pay What You Feel basis – these are hard times for musicians and artists so please give generously.

17th April 2020 - 8:00 pm

Leeds based The Hard Times Orchestra return to Seven Arts this April with their show Even More ‘Wasted and Wounded’. If you missed them last year now’s your chance to get your toes tapping and your hearts thumping with these songs for the wasted and wounded.

Expect a heady mix of influences from Bessie Smith, via Cab Calloway to Tom Waits.

The Hard Times Orchestra is three musicians, lots of instruments and a dollop of heartbreak.

Jacqui Wicks sings, Richard Ormrod (Schwa, Panjumby, A Dread Supreme) plays lots of useful instruments, and Jonny Flockton (Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip) will sit quietly with in a corner whilst his banjo gently weeps.
