This months BIG Vaudeville is a special event celebrating the launch of Edward Barton’s New Album and Box Set … and a Panda on POLITE INFORMATION.Edward Barton is a cult figure in Manchester. His career spans three decades as a filmmaker, artist, curator, performer, songwriter and poet.
From a first bizarre appearance on Channel 4’s music programme The Tube in 1984 singing I’ve Got No Chicken but I’ve Got Five Wooden Chairs while playing guitar with a wooden spoon through to the controversial Dadaist gallery Oblong he set up in Manchester’s Affleck’s Palace, his position as a Manchester (and National) Treasure is assured through the constant generation of creative chaos. Barton’s ‘90’s performance night, Hip Replacement, developed a Studio 54 like reputation in Manchester’s music scene, and his own song writing has seen him work and chart with the likes of A Guy called Gerald, 808 State, Opus 111, Norman Cook and Kylie Minogue.

…about VaudeVille
Drown your bitterness in the strong liquor of VaudeVille. This is new electronic art cabaret. Expect a selection of the best new performance, video & music from VaudeVille collaborators.
The ethos of VaudeVille is inspired by the original Cabaret Voltaire (circa 1913) – deliberately absurd performances, poetry, and visual art that embrace the extraordinary, the irrational, and the contradictory. If you want to see avant-garde original movies, a bicycle on fire or even a sock puppet version of A Streetcar Named Desire then VaudeVille is for you!
