THE Levellers are set to appear at Malvern Theatres on Friday 30th January, performing a live acoustic show of their greatest hits and a screening of the brand new Levellers' documentary, A Curious Life.

Described by John Robb as “the brilliant and heart-warming tale of a dysfunctional band”, A Curious Life is a film about the Levellers and their unique career.

Told through the unique perspective of Jeremy Cunningham, the band’s bass player and artist, and directed by former Chumbawamba frontman Dunstan Bruce, the film focuses on the Levellers' phenomenal success between 1988 and 1998 before nearly disintegrating in a train wreck of drink, drugs and creative drought.

However, despite reaching their lowest ebb, the band never split up and after a few years in the wilderness they re-invented themselves, and in the process became unexpected survivors of the UK's famously fickle music industry.

Funny, warm and highly entertaining, A Curious Life is, in Dunstan’s own words, “An uplifting tale of battling demons that reminds us that behind every band there is a story of struggle for expression, acceptance and survival."

The Levellers will be in Malvern on Friday, January 30 at 7.30pm. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
