In Piccadilly, Anna May Wong sizzles as Shosho, a scullery maid who rises to stardom in the Piccadilly nightclub in this tale of jealousy, betrayal, forbidden love and a mysterious murder.

The Brief Encounter duo play vintage jazz and more on nine instruments in this unique show.

Chris and Veronica Perrin are multi-instrumentalists playing vintage jazz at home and abroad as the Brief Encounter Duo.

A review prompted the couple to come to the Borders.

Dougal Stewart wrote: “I went to the performance in Bardon Mill and enjoyed both the film and the accompanying music, so wonderfully played by the Brief Encounter Duo.
