The popular 4 Poofs and a Piano come to the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall to entertain audiences for a night of irreverent humour and lush harmonies on Tuesday 9 November.
This one- off performance, ‘4 POOFS AND A PIANO: SMOKE AND MIRRORBALLS LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL’, is another step in establishing The Elgar Room as one of the most dynamic small venues in London, which has already seen the successful launch of Late Night Jazz and Classical Coffee Mornings as well as comedy, dance, classical and indie gigs in early 2010.
4 Poofs and a Piano have become the nation’s favourite house band thanks to their involvement in the hugely popular Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on BBC1. Since their inception in 2000, the boys- Ian Parkin, Stephen de Martin, David Roper and David Wickenden- have filmed 18 series of the BAFTA winning chat show where they have introduced guests including Madonna, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Lional Ritchie and Tom Jones. However, they have enjoyed enormous success in their own right, becoming regular favourites at Glastonbury, releasing ‘Screamin’ Party Anthems’ with EMI and appearing with the legendary Joan Collins in her one woman show in 2006. They have also performed duets with Jimmy Osmond, Neil Diamond and Benny from Abba.

LGBT Rock fans are in for a treat this summer, lesbian fronted alt rock band "Kenelis" will be performing at SEVEN of this year’s major Pride events including Brimingham, Brighton and Cardiff Prides.
Kenelis describe themselves as combination of grunge, punk and anthemic shoegaze all fused together in a big pot of rock! Comparisons have included the raw angst of Hole, vulnerability of Placebo and diversity of Radiohead. Kenelis have shared the stage with the likes of Reuben, Hundred Reasons, Your Codename is: Milo, Fightstar, Ghost of a Thousand and The Levellers (Mark Chadwick). Due to the success of last summer’s Pride performances at London Pride (women’s stage), Nottingham pride and Brighton Student Pride, word has quickly spread about Kenelis and this has generated an exciting buzz on the LGBT scene.
