If you were lucky enough to see Josie Long at the Star & Shadow last month, you’ll have been wowed by BRIGITTE APHRODITE, a support act with the charisma and talent to be able to fill halls and telly screens in her own right.

We’ve brought Brigitte to the Cumberland, where she’ll headline, supported by the legendary MUSH, and LIBERTY HODES, a comedy starlet described as “the lovechild of Emo Phillips and Isy Sutie”.

BRIGITTE APHRODITE
Brigitte Aphrodite is a cockney-voiced singer-songwriter who performs comedy pop songs, sometimes with a backing band. She straddles both worlds – she was shortlisted for the 2009 Musical Comedy awards, and has just released her first single, I Dream Myself Awake b/w Miss Hedonistic, on Kate Nash’s 10p label.

The singer from Bromley with both quirky personality and dress sense, entertains the audience with controversial lyrics and adult humour.

Brigitte Aphrodite can only be described as unique and dazzling, and it’s safe to say that we will be hearing a lot more of her in the upcoming months. Truly brilliant.

MUSH
Haiing from Heaton, but hailed wherever songwriting is laude, Mush sew together cabaresque piano, mournful delicate guitar with beautiful yet fragile vocal melodies underpinned with strong menacing basslines.

Writer Nicky Rushton’s vivid and beguiling live performance is offset by Sarah’s irreverent humor.

LIBERTY HODES
A young lady clad in silly dresses with a penchant for Professor Brian Cox and a love of all things surreal.

With the help of (often badly) photoshopped images and her trusty ukulele, Liberty aims to expose her innermost thoughts via comedy and song, engaging the audience through the wacky mind of a slightly awkward girl. She has been on the circuit for about half a year, and awkwardly continues to merge comedy with art and music.
