About the event
From See Tickets's listing
THE SECRET SHAMANIC HISTORY OF POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT! Why do we imbue the likes of David Bowie, Bjork and Taylor Swift with god-like status? As the lights dim and performers take to the stage, is it mere escapism from our everyday lives or is there something more profound and ritualised about our need to be entertained? In this entertaining and thought provoking monologue through the wilder corners of modern entertainment history David Bramwell shares the idea that shamanism never disappeared in western culture. Instead, it donned a cunning disguise and took the 'show' on the road, hidden in plain sight in everything from theatre and magic to rock'n'roll. On a journey spanning over 7,00 years Bramwell explores how the shaman's 'death and resurrection show' is present in everything and everyone from Scrooge, Dr Who, Frida Khalo and David Hoyle to the travelling medicine shows of our ancestors. Peppered with examples and music from the likes of Nick Cave, Lingua Ingota, Alice Coltrane, Ozzy, David Byrne, Sun Ra, Kate Bush and - of course - Bowie, this show demonstrates why, in our soul-sick society we need them more than ever before. The show must go on because the show IS the medicine! David Bramwell is a performer, author, musician and creator of The No9 Bus to Utopia,The Haunted Moustache, Ghosts of the Medicine Show, The Cult of Water. He is one half of the popular show, Singalong-A-Wicker-Man. His monologue, The Haunted Moustache, was recently turned into a film.…

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Bradford: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
