The Century Theatre has two shows on this weekend.

On Friday, the refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired boutique orchestra the Budapest Cafe Orchestra redeliver gypsy and folk-flavoured music in their own fresh and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional pieces to artful distillations of the Romantic masterpieces to Gaelic folk anthems their infectious music will get into your bloodstream and stay there forever!

With 14 albums already to their name the Budapest Café Orchestra was established in 2009 by British composer and violinist, Christian Garrick, and led by him have won legions of fans with their magical and infectious performances.

A small but impeccably formed ensemble of just four players, the Budapest Cafe Orchestra combines violin, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz & balalaika to dazzling effect, creating an awesome aural alchemy normally only characteristic of far larger ensembles.

On Saturday, Ceri Dupree – Immaculate Deception deserves five stars for costumes alone, but it's so much more than that. It's just a terrific show!

Ceri Dupree is undoubtedly the finest female impersonator treading the boards today. 

An extremely talented impersonator at the top of his game with gloriously over-the-top costumes, facial expressions, physical gestures and vocal talent – each combining to create hysterical madness.

He gives you champagne at beer prices. A truly spectacular array of wigs and props, with dozens of lightning-fast costume changes.

Ibstock Soul Club returns for its monthly spot at the Central Bar Function Room on Saturday.

The very best of commercial Motown & 60s/70s Soul with a touch of Mod and Reggae.

All played on vinyl and on the venue's in-house superb surround sound system.
