💃 Colours of a Woman’s Love (R&D Performance Sharing) - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 16:30 - 18:30

💃 Colours of a Woman’s Love reimagines the ancient archetypes of the Ashta Nayikas – eight heroines of classical Indian dance – through a contemporary lens.

Led by Debbie Ganguli-Patel, with additional mentorship on choreography by Divya Kasturi and original music created in collaboration with Prathap Ramachandra and Vijay Venkat, the work explores the emotional landscapes of modern women navigating love, identity, and societal change. Rooted in Bharatanatyam yet infused with fresh perspectives, the piece blends tradition and innovation in a powerful exploration of women’s lives today.

The performance will open with a vibrant curtain raiser, celebrating and showcasing the creativity of early-career dancers as the next generation of artists.

🤩 Andy Zaltzman: The Zaltgeist (Tour Warm-Up) - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 19:30 - 21:30 Price: £16.50

🎤 ANDY ZALTZMAN–The Zaltgeist 2026–A Second Thwack.

▪️AGE: 14+


🤩 DETAILS
Following a sell-out 2024/2025 national run, Andy Zaltzman–host of The Bugle podcast and BBC Radio4’s The News Quiz, statistician on Test Match Special, and champion of Taskmaster series 18–extends his hit tour into 2026.

Fully updated due to the UK and the world both steadfastly refusing to sort themselves out, Andy assesses the state of renowned planet Earth, its under-pressure current in-house millennium, and its most famous and controversial species–the human race.

With politicians the world over striving to outdo each other in splattering their people with a cocktail of incompetence, inexplicability and insatiable dishonesty, Andy, the universe’s leading and only 2-in-1 political-comedian-and-professional-cricket-statistician, harnesses the combined 21st-century witchcraft of A.I. and his live audience. Between them, they will concoct vaguely plausible answers to perennially troublesome questions such as What?, Who?, When?, Where?, and above all Why?

🐧 WARNING: May feature talking penguin.

🎤 The Skids + Special Guests - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 16:30 - 18:30

🤩 Very pleased to announce THE SKIDS are coming to play Luton Hat Factory on Sunday 1st February 2026.

▪️AGE:
18+

🎤 THE SKIDS
“Memories fade but some linger for a reason. The Skids was the definitive part of my early life. A brilliant adventure into the world of creativity and adulthood. I was a kid when I joined the band in 1977 - 16 years old.

By the time the adventure had run aground I was a dazed and confused young man. We were fearless in the beginning, always trying new things and not afraid to be different in a musical world that was beginning to sound very derivative and safe.

Contrary to the reports from people who were never near the centre of the band, Stuart Adamson and I got on very well - in fact for a long time we were very close. I enjoyed writing with him - he was generous and incredibly adaptable to my unmusical ideas.

The Skids were not just another punk band - we were creatively ambitious as well as being close to the core beliefs of our hard-won fans. But most importantly we loved playing live. Taking these memories and replanting them into 2017 has not been easy. How do you do it? How should it sound? Are we little more than a tribute band? These were the questions rattling around my head as I tried to find a way to celebrate the bands 40th anniversary last year. The answers ended up being very simple - Don’t over think it - Just do it.

Enjoy every minute of it. Play the songs like it might be the last time. Give it everything. And then……. there’s the new stuff!!! The beginning of something new rather than the end of something old. Enter DESTINATION DUSSELDORF”
Richard Jobson

The Skids were at the heart of the punk scene in Scotland and took their music to London where they were signed by Virgin records. They made 4 albums and had numerous hit singles including Into the Valley, The Saints are Coming, Masquerade and Working for the Yankee Dollar.

After the cover version of The Saints are Coming by U2 and Green Day the remaining band members reformed and played to large audiences all over the UK including iconic London venues such as The Albert Hall and The Roundhouse as well as Barrowlands in Glasgow. Their recently released album Destination Dusseldorf went to no.1 in the vinyl charts.
