Mrs Wallace & The Royales are a seven piece band of well-seasoned players. With 5 part harmonies, two lead guitarists, (Blues/Rock ’n’ Roll and Jazz), bass guitarist, trumpet and a drummer/percussionist.Â
Led by, Christabel Tallowin and her guitarist husband, Wayne Tallowin, they have enlisted co-lead vocalist Joyce Mathers, Kim Anning on lead guitar, flute, banjo, and vocals, Matthew Bateman-Graham on bass and vocals, Nathan Winterflood on drums and vocals and Stuart Ferguson on trumpet and vocals.
We have taken all the great tunes from Quentin Tarantino’s movies: Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol I & II, Jackie Brown, Django Unchained, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, The Hateful Eight, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Dusk Till Dawn.Â
Collectively they have created an intriguing show, performing well known Tarantino soundtrack songs whilst telling a story of Tarantino and his use of music in his written and directed movies.
The setlist spans Tarantino’s entire filmography, from the surf-rock twang of Miserlou to Nancy Sinatra’s hauntingly beautiful Bang Bang.
Street Life brings the funk, the 5 6 7 8’s Woo Hoo dips into pop punk, Bowie’s Cat People is hypnotic, and Hush and California Dreaming are a welcome visit to ‘60s pop—the great tunes just keep on coming.
From the soulful swagger of “Son of a Preacher Man” to the funky groove of “Little Green Bag”, and the unforgettable vibes of “Stuck in the Middle with You” — this is not just a show, it’s a cinematic experience through music.
They debuted the show at The Fringe Festival 2025 in January / February at The Lyric’s Underground, Maylands and The Ellington Jazz Club, where they had sold out shows and a complimentary review by Xpress Magazine.
