HALF-TIME

2 for 1 · Mon 10 Aug – Tue 11 Aug12+
Midlife hits: your pop-star dream is fading. You wake in a celestial locker room – a chance to change tactics for pop stardom in the second half. A gruff Coach bellows 'man up and move on'; a mystical muse offers orange slices that promise youth – at a price. Welsh singer songwriter Eilir Pierce delivers confessional synth pop bangers in a surreal, wry, tender cabaret for late bloomers. Onscreen duet cameos from Arab Strap’s Aidan Moffat and Gwenno. 'Genius. Sounding like no one else' (Huw Stephens, BBC Radio). Previously played by Jarvis Cocker (BBC Radio 6 Music).
