Apollo’s Cabinet Jukebox Menu – Christmas Edition

Following their prize-winning successes over the past year, and the launch of their debut album, Apollo’s Cabinet returns to the NCEM stage for what promises to be an evening of pure entertainment and joy.

Forget stuffy concerts with velvet seats and polite applause. Apollo’s Jukebox takes you back to the 18th-century music rooms where tunes weren’t just played — they were ordered.

Back then, there was no unlimited streaming or public concert halls where anyone could pick what they wanted to hear. In the early 1700s Paris, Vienna, or Rome, unless you were royalty or a wealthy patron, new music was pretty much off limits. The idea that anyone, no matter their background, could choose the music was revolutionary — and it all started in Britain.

Forget concert formality — it’s about good music, great stories, and a proper pint. A musical menu of Baroque delights, bawdy ballads, toe-tapping dances & streetwise scandals

And the best part? The audience call the shots.
