So pleased for everyone involved with The Orpheus Centre - this has taken years of hard work and fight. It's a very particular challenge running a place as special as this and the current team are doing an amazing job.

Times and Tickets
Inferno 67 began with a simple instruction to his long-term collaborator, author and screenwriter Robert Ryan: imagine an episode of The Twilight Zone, but one written and directed by David Lynch and scored by Miklos Rosza, Bernard Herrmann and Johnny Dankworth...and maybe the Beatles.
The powerhouse Guy Barker Big Band is filled with world-class soloists, can manage every switchback that its titular leader can throw at it and much more besides. The firebrand soul and funk come courtesy of the incomparable Vanessa Haynes; the narration is provided by that consummate storyteller, writer and actor Clarke Peters (The Wire, Five Guys Named Mo, His Dark Materials etc. etc,); the wit and devilish charm is supplied by the urbane Joe Stilgoe; the shape-shifting love story involves two of the UK’s top actors.
A world where time, music, people and sexuality are fluid and malleable. A place where sixties funk and soul rub up against the outer limits of John Coltrane.
Welcome to hell. Welcome to love. Welcome to Inferno 67.
Music composed an arranged by Guy Barker
Story and script by Robert Ryan
Song Lyrics by Joe Stilgoe
Guy Barker Big Band - Inferno 67 - Ronnie Scott's Guy Barker presents his most ambitious work - a theatrical jazz experience.

An Evening with Joe Stilgoe & Friends - 02/05/2024 19:00:00 An Evening with Joe Stilgoe - at St Martin in the Fields on 2 May
Here’s the full version of our opening number from the .
As Hannah has mentioned, she was a huge force in shaping how we opened the show, and her attention to detail, innate class and impeccable taste made it much easier for me to then arrange this number. As many of you know Cole Porter is a huge inspiration to me so we ummed and ahhed about how much we could change. Hannah was clear she wanted it to be relevant so I added some new lyrics to suit the occasion and the venue, in keeping with Mr Porter’s perfect songcraft.
Thank you , London Community Gospel Choir BBC Concert Orchestra Yamaha Pianos and Royal Albert Hall, thank you everyone at the Olivier Awards including Emma De Souza but huge thanks for his belief in us reserved for Anthony Van Laast.
What an absolutely glorious 5 minutes - a month of preparation went into it but so worth it.
Let me know your favourite part of the arrangement. And show all the love for Hannah and the gospel choir, singing FIYAAAAHHH!
When Hannah Waddingham asks you to come up with a new arrangement of a classic Cole Porter you say YES.
To play with her, backed by the fabulous London Community Gospel Choir and BBC Concert Orchestra led by maestro Gareth Valentine was a very special thing. Thank you also to Yamaha Pianos and Olivier Awards.
Special thanks to the fabulous Wendy Benstead: Costume and Clothing who dressed me, including a vintage 1930s tailcoat with LOTS of added diamanté bling.
