Entry Requirements: Under 16s are not permitted in the venue. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
Songwriter and half of globe-trotting 'Harry and Chris' ***** (Sunday Post) has written songs for Disney and Netflix. This year at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival he debuted an original one-man-musical about the wild 20s of a jobbing musician, and now he’s taking it on the road, as well as performing songs from his new EP ‘Atom’, released by Universal in September.
’The Back Line’ is a breakneck, feel-good musical dramedy set in the underbelly of London’s music industry, where a young session musician playing for some of the biggest names in the world teeters on the brink of sanity while trying to balance success, love, addiction, pot noodles and staying true to his session musician community – the back line.
