‘David Arnold  – The Songs: Live’ will see him performing songs from across his prolific career in a stripped back, never before seen style. Performing alongside his band, Arnold will put the spotlight on his own songs with the voice that wrote them, and will include his most notable songs from across his career – as well as some surprises – plus sharing some of the stories behind how they were crafted.

The tour will kick off on 19th November at London’s Lafayette. Arnold and his band will go on to visit intimate venues across the UK in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, and Manchester before finishing in Cambridge on 26th November.

On the tour, Arnold says: “My earliest musical memories were of songs. I think song is the finest of all art forms. As a songwriter I see them conceived, developed and delivered into the world. From that point on they stop being mine. They become part of the fabric of a film, a show or someone else’s record. Principally, though, they belong to the audience. 

This tour is a way of me revisiting the early years of these songs, reclaiming them for an evening, sharing the stories behind them and doing my best, as their author, to give some insight as to how and why they came into existence and, most unusually, I’ll be singing them in my own voice – the first voice anyone hears when I deliver  a new song, but a voice that the public never do get to hear.”

Lucy Noble, Artistic Director at AEG Presents says: “David Arnold has always been well known to us as a world class composer, however with this intimate tour we’ll see the incredible artist and performer that he is as well. Audiences are in for a huge treat to hear him sing the songs that he has composed and that mean so much to him.”

Famed for his work including five James Bond films, as well as across further film, TV, theatre and music, David will perform the intimate shows bringing personal song highlights and fan favourites, swapping out his usual orchestra for a 6-piece band.

As well as Bond, Arnold has written music for the likes of ‘Made In Dagenham The Musical’, TV shows such as ‘Good Omens’ and ‘Sherlock’; and has collaborated with pop artists such as Bjork, Massive Attack and Pulp.

In 2012 he was Musical Director for the historic London Olympics Closing Ceremony, providing the score and working with artists such as The Who and the Spice Girls.

The full 2023 tour dates are:

19 November                    London Lafayette
20 November                    Newcastle The Cluny
22 November                    Glasgow Òran Mór
23 November                    Birmingham Hare & Hounds
24 November                    Manchester Band on the Wall
26 November                    Cambridge Junction 2

“Revealing the news exclusively on ‘Lorraine’ today, he said: “The last time I was on the ice I think I was 14 (years old) so almost 40 years ago. I have been back on the ice since just for a quick spin around, I didn’t fall over so that was a good thing! I’ve got a new appreciation for skating.  I can see how truly difficult it is.  From the comfort of my sofa I was probably a little too judgy, I didn’t realise how hard it is!”

A family’s vacation is upended when two strangers arrive at night, seeking refuge from a cyberattack that grows more terrifying by the minute, forcing everyone to come to terms with their places in a collapsing world.

In this apocalyptic thriller from award-winning writer and director Sam Esmail (‘Mr. Robot’), Amanda (Roberts) and her husband Clay (Hawke), rent a luxurious home for the weekend with their kids, Archie (Evans) and Rose (Mackenzie). Their vacation is soon upended when two strangers – G.H.

The sequel stars Asa Butterfield, Cora Kirk, Alex Jennings, Daniel Mays, David Bradley, Angela Griffin, Natalie Gumede and Jane Krakowski.

‘Your Christmas Or Mine 2’ follows young couple James (Butterfield) and Hayley (Kirk), who are gearing up for their second Christmas as a couple. And that can only mean one thing … more mayhem with the Taylor and Hughes families.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year … but will it be for James and Hayley? James’ father has invited the Taylors to spend Christmas in a luxury ski resort in the Austrian Alps, so they can meet his new American girlfriend (Krakowski). However, Hayley’s dad Geoff insisted on handling his family’s side of the booking and something clearly got lost in translation. After a mix-up with transport at the airport, the two tribes end up at each other’s accommodations, on different sides of a valley and opposite ends of the Tripadvisor ratings scale. Can Hayley and James’ relationship survive another turbulent family Christmas, or has their future together gone off-piste?

‘Your Christmas Or Mine 2’ is the follow-up to the 2022 hit comedy ‘Your Christmas Or Mine’, which introduced audiences to James and Hayley for the first time.

The film, which explores life on and off the pitch at a gay rugby club, stars Alexander Lincoln (‘Everything I Know About Love) and Alexander King (‘Charlotte’). The cast also includes Christopher Sherwood, Peter McPherson, Pearse Egan, Carl Loughlin and Ivan Comisso.

Mark (Alexander Lincoln), a new and inexperienced rugby club member, finds himself drawn to Warren (Alexander King), a seasoned first team player. When a series of happenstances at an away fixture lead to a drunken encounter, Mark and Warren unwittingly embark on a romantic affair they struggle to hide from their partners and teammates. As the secret begins to unravel, team spirit, loyalties and camaraderie are tested in writer-director Matt Carter’s startlingly sensitive story about forbidden love and finding your tribe.

Writer-director Carter has been involved in inclusive rugby for a number of year as both a player, coach and referre.  Rugby has a rich and extensive culture that he felt had been under-explored on film, and which he wanted to bring to a wider audience with the hopes of raising the public profile of ‘inclusive’ sports clubs and their benefits to society.  He says of his debut feature:

“There is often discussion around the concept of masculinity surrounding sport – especially with rugby. Assumptions are made that because rugby is very physical, it must be inherently ‘toxically’ masculine. ‘In From the Side’ takes aim at these preconceived notions, tackling common stereotypes of gay men in sport and how it is possible for healthy, non-toxic masculinity to thrive in this environment.”
