SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
Music of James Bond

A stylish and cinematic live concert celebrating the iconic music of 007.

Performed by Welsh trumpeter Geraint Barnes, this elegant concert experience features two 45-minute sets of unforgettable Bond themes and classics, brought to life with powerful live trumpet and high-quality backing tracks.

From Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever to Skyfall, Live and Let Die and Writing’s on the Wall, Shaken Not Stirred captures the drama, glamour and intrigue of Bond in a polished production inspired by the sound and style of the West End.

What a great day!
