An Irregular Records in association with Grey Cat Mystery Production, Murder at The Grange, Robb Johnson

A festive whodunnit

Christmas morning.  A dead man in a locked bedroom in a house full of secrets.

Everybody has a motive.

But who’s got the key?

Murder At The Grange is a Christmas murder mystery in spoken word & song, created by acclaimed songwriter Robb Johnson & performed by Robb & The Xmas Irregulars.

“A cracker of a show… a delightful extravaganza and a uniquely dark and different way to celebrate the winter season” Folk Radio

The Colonel’s found dead in his locked bedroom. Nobody liked him, apart from a mysterious blonde called Sylvie, whose photo is discovered on the Colonel’s bedside table. & the Colonel has already hired proto-feminist private detective Jenny Martin to investigate his death…

Presented in the style of a BBC radio drama, there's a narrator, cast members reading as various characters in the narrative, appropriately absurd sound effects - & added original festive songs that comment on the action & reference traditional seasonal conventions (Father Christmas, mistletoe, sprouts etc).

The show consists of two halves, just under an hour each half, there is a fairly equal balance between suspense & comedy. It contains adult themes in places & there is some language, so not really suitable for under 16s…

Talk: The Strutts, Cotton Textiles and Enslavement by Dr Susanne Seymour

Although the Strutts were supporting the anti-slavery movement at home,

their cotton purchases were sourced mainly from the slave plantations of

Carriacou in the West Indies and Brazil. Dr Susanne Seymour of

Nottingham University has been researching the sources of the cotton

used at the Belper Mills and traced the plantations where the Strutts

sourced the cotton.
