The Lock In "Folk Fairy Tale" Live Music & Concerts


A fantastice dance and song extravaganza fusing traditional folk and hip hop. With music from the Demon Barbers this is a night to remember.

Fresh from their sell out performances of The Lock In ‘Christmas Carol’ the Breaking Tradition dance company return to Ye Olde Fighting Cocks for a comical new version of their critically acclaimed Folk & Hip Hop dance show, suitable for all the family!
With live music from The Demon Barbers (Winners of ‘Best Live Act’ @ BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards) they bring some of the UK’s oldest forms of dance bang up to date with some of the youngest, in a high energy celebration of dance culture.
Combining elements from Grimms’ classic fairy tales with a funked up musical score and colourful new choreography The Lock In ‘Folk Fairy Tale’ promises to be one of the most exciting dance theatre events of the year!
A group of hip hop dancers arrive at an apparently deserted pub but local rumour has it that this tumble-down inn is frequented by ‘other worldly’ characters and as the regulars arrive, a clash of cultures soon turns into a dance floor stand-off. While fusion loving landlady, Grandma, is nowhere to be seen the pub is being run by the stubborn, and mysteriously lupine, Jasmine, who’s determined to stamp out the fun and keep things strictly traditional.
There is hope though, in the form of a mystical woodcutter who may just have some tricks up his checkered sleeve. Will the woodcutter succeed? Can the regulars get the party started? Will we ever know what happened to Grandma?
Grab a drink with the regulars of Ye Olde fighting Cocks to find out!
‘A full-on show of such blazing energy and joyous ingenuity you scarcely ponder on the apparent madness of trying to marry folk dance and hip hop’ ★★★★The Independent
“The inspiration comes from Damien Barber, front man of the award-winning folk band The Demon Barbers, who supply the floor-shaking live music that alone justifies the price of the ticket”The Independent
‘The Lock In is infectious and gets under your skin to the extent you stop analysing and start just enjoying. Certainly, the best night out in town’
“Folk & Hip Hop unite to stunning effect” The Independent
“Some shows demonstrate great skill and technique, some offer strong musicianship, and some create the kind of atmosphere and energy that leaves you high on life. The Lock In does all three” ★★★★★ The List (Edinburgh Fringe)
"I'd rate 'The Lock In' high up in the top 10 of all the shows we've had in my 23 years at the Astrolabe Theatre Tent" Mick Andrew, Production Manager @ The Astrolabe, Glastonbury Festival
