Comedy legend Barry Cryer and musician Guy Pratt are February's guest speakers for this cultural networking event.

Barry, known as "the king of the one-liners", has written for the likes of Morecambe and Wise, Richard Pryor and Rory Bremner.

He began his comedy career in a London strip club and famously topped the charts in Finland in 1958.

Barry, who is now 72, puts his longevity down to his voracious appetite for the print media and although 2005 saw him embark on his First Farewell Tour, he has no plans to retire any time soon. He continues to appear on Radio 4's long-running I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

Guy is a renowned session muso who played bass on Madonna's Like A Prayer and composed the music for Simon Pegg's cult sitcom Spaced, in which he also appeared.

He replaced Roger Waters in Pink Floyd and co-wrote Jimmy Nail's number one hit, Ain't No Doubt. His session career has seen him work with David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Michael Jackson and Lemon Jelly, and he is a member of electronica group Transit Kings alongside Alex Paterson (The Orb) and Jimmy Cauty (KLF). He was also part of Bryan Ferry's touring band last year.

There will be a live set from electronic trio Miss Pain, and new resident DJ Lily Zoot The Suit will provide background music.

  • Food available upstairs from 6pm, doors 7pm, show starts 7.30pm.
