For one night only the inimitable Tyrone and Lesley entwine their beautiful, funny music with moving images of skies, suns and moons, clarity and clouds, flickering bulbs and high windows.
 
 A ukulele-led dance of screen and song where there are no wallflowers, Tyrone and Lesley in a Spot will transport you all the way to exactly where you are. It’s funny ha ha, funny weird and a little bit funny valentine. It’s Tyrone. It’s Lesley. It’s their high spots in bright lights.  Charming, poetic, absurd and unique, you have never seen anything like this.
 
 Tyrone and Lesley play their songs on ukulele and double bass, framed by patter, augmented by images on the screen, united in performance. There is no backstory or exposition other than what may be perceivable in the performance encounter, though this has shifted to include a certain self-consciously biographical strand.  They are aware that they are employing certain production elements to enhance the quality of their regular presentation, and perhaps make them more popular.
 
 Elements of song, image, text and action often draw on the natural world of sea, sky, and moon,  as well as elements of domestic interiors like flowers, light bulbs, and a half-full glass. They progressively combine and rearticulate, influencing one another to reveal that these repeated and fragmentary attempts to enhance the concert, with their obviousness, failures, tangents and gaps, become their own kind of spectacle.
