A Four Churches Festival concert St Andrews Church, Scole

Norwich RdScole, Norfolk IP21 4DT

Phone: 01379 668875 / 07810 032025

Price: £12.50

Website: https://www.allsaintsthorpeabbotts.com/The4ChurchesFestival.html

Rock star Rick Wakeman and south Norfolk vicar Rev Trevor Riess have teamed up again to arrange a festival of music, acting and comedy.

The second Four Churches Festival will take place between 7th and 12th May, with performances held at the four ancient village churches of Scole, Brockdish, Thorpe Abbots and Billingford. plus exhibitions and workshops at Billingford and Thorpe Abbots.

Over the course of the week long Festival, the star-studded line-up includes performances by comedian Don Maclean, Ian Lavender, Richard Digance, Gordon Giltrap, Paul Field, Nicholas Parsons, juggler Steve Rawlings and magician John Lenahan who was the first person in 85 years to be expelled from the Magic Circle !

Rick Wakeman said: Im delighted to be part of the 4 Churches Festival again and am really enjoying working with Trevor and the rest of organising team. Performing in these ancient churches is a real pleasure and the audience benefits from the excellent acoustics and the unique atmosphere that these lovely buildings create." As well as the main performers, Rick Wakeman will perform a short set every night.

Gordon is thrilled to be performing as part of the Festival on 8th May and is looking forward to once again playing some "duets" with Rick Wakeman, who last joined him on stage at Birmingham's Symphony Hall in 2005.

Gordon and Rick's performance will be recorded.

Rick Wakeman: Grumpy and happy! written by TOM SMITHARD

Rick Wakeman is a busy man. Later this month his band are playing their first small-scale gig in years, at Norwich's Waterfront, then headlining a festival in Norway and, later this summer, another in Canada.

Following massive success in TV show Grumpy Old Men, the 57-year-old is regularly booked to moan at corporate events - and is currently writing Rick Wakeman: Grumpy Old Rockstar which will lift the lid on countless anecdotes from his long career.

But before all of that there is the little matter of staging his second 4 Churches Festival, in which a series of his celebrity friends will be brought into Scole, Brockdish, Billingford and Thorpe Abbotts to raise money for the church buildings.

Running from May 7 to 11 it features big names such as Nicholas Parsons and his Just a Minute crew; Dad's Army and Eastenders star Ian Lavender; musicians Don Maclean, Paul Field and Gordon Giltrap; and magicians John Lenahan and Steve Rawlings.

Originally, last year was going to be a one-off, but we need to raise money for these buildings every year and running this festival is a lot of fun, Rick said.

Church buildings are not just for worship, they pin together whole communities. So many villages have lost their pubs, shops and, scandalously, now their post offices. Churches are some of the only community buildings left and need to be preserved.

All of the line-up are, once again, mates of the Norfolk-based music experimentalist, who said he pulls every flanker under the sun to help get the star names to the villages on the Norfolk Suffolk border - returning the favour for events they run.

The people who I got last year were treated so well by the audiences and had such a good time that it was easy for me then, speaking to people I wanted this year, to tell them to give last year's guests a ring, he said.

Gordon is one hell of a good guitar player and Don and Paul are coming back by popular demand. I think Steve and John will be the night people who don't go will wish they had. They're unique. I've seen Steve countless times and would still pay to see him again.

Just a Minute sold out the day tickets were released. It will be a cracking night, as will Ian Lavender, who's such an interesting character and has some great stories to tell.

I've tried to pick nights and people who you'd get what you expect from them but also a lot more. All will be fun nights, all will be a mixture of music and proper laughter, not just polite laughter.

Since moving to Norfolk a few years ago with the idea of slowing down, Rick has gone from one challenge to another.

I thought coming here I'd quieten down but I was wrong, he said. The great thing about getting older is you get to diversify. Roundabout the late 40s people gave up pigeonholing me and let me do what I want. If 20 years ago I said I wanted to do a television show, radio show and classical music people would have laughed. Now I'm even organising my own festival.

Every day is different these days, he said.

Since I stopped doing the long touring, less than 20pc of what I do now is music-related. But I'm being kept really busy - and I'm loving it!

Smarden Charter Hall

Pluckley RdSmarden, Kent TN27 8ND

Phone: 01233 770 628

Price: £10.00

Gordon has played in Smarden on several occasions in the past to help with fundraising but this will be his first visit to their brand new Village Hall, now renamed the Charter Hall.

MP Damian Green attended the opening of the new Charter Hall in Smarden in February 2007. Afterwards he said:

"This week it is time for straightforward congratulations and celebration. On Saturday I enjoyed the opening of the new Charter Hall in Smarden, the result of five years hard fund-raising by the village.

The old village hall had been built forty years ago, and was showing its age. But for a village the size of Smarden to raise more than 700,000 is unbelievable. The combination of lottery funding and help from Kent County Council and Ashford Borough Council, as well as the Parish Council, has been boosted by 140 local fund-raising events.

The end result is a building that will last a lot longer than forty years, and that will play a significant part in the life of the village. Halls like this are important because they make it much easier to preserve the sense of community which ought to be at the heart of village life (and indeed urban life if you are lucky to be in the right area).

It is clear that Smarden does have that sense of an active community. The Chairman of the Management Committee, Mike Barkway, had a list as long as your arm of people to thank from within the village who had given their time and talents over the past five years. It is this sense of civic energy which is so important. Sitting back and expecting other people to solve problems just doesnt work.

The people of Smarden are lucky that in their midst are large numbers of people who will use some of their spare time for the good of their community. The result of that energy is now tangible in a state of the art building with facilities that would be envied in much larger centres. I hope thousands of people use it in the years ahead."

The Charter Hall is situated in the centre of the historic and picturesque village of Smarden. The village, often referred to as the prettiest in Kent, is well served by local hostelries, with a range of accommodation; and is three miles from Headcorn, which is served by a frequent main-line train service to London.

The Smarden Charter Hall was completed in 2007, built to a high specification, with under floor heating and double glazing. The attractive Wealden design complements the special nature of Smardens conservation area.

The hall has outstanding facilities, including a fully equipped commercial kitchen; 5.5m x 12m Stage with state of the art sound and lighting; disabled access and WC; shower room; CCTV and intruder alarm systems.

Plenty of parking available by the Hall.

Tickets are 10 or 5 for under 16's.

Winter Warmers Society Charity Concert St Georges Centre

Pembroke Gate, Maritime WayChatham ME4 4UH

Phone: John Griffin....01634 409991

Price: £12.00

Gordon supports the Winter Warmers Society Charity in Kent, and plays an annual concert to raise funds. Previous concerts have been held on the paddle steamer Kingswear Castle, sailing from Chatham Dockyard.

The format this year will be a little different, as the venue will be the beautiful building of St George's Centre, Pembroke Gate, Maritime Way, Chatham. The foundation stone of this building was laid on 27 April 1905 and on completion, was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Rochester, as St George's Church on 19 December 1906.

For many years it served the needs of the Royal Navy Pembroke Barracks. With the Navy's departure in 1984, this fine building changed its name to St George's Centre and opened its doors, inviting all to see its many memorials bearing witness to the heroic deeds of many gallant men and ships.

There are beautiful stained glass widows, many unveiled by HRH Princess Elizabeth in 1950 and plaques commemorating local naval history throughout the century.

Please arrive between 7.30 and 7.45pm to allow time to get refreshments.

Private car park.
Accessible and user-friendly for people with disabilities.

'Acoustic at the Altar' St Johns Church in Ryde ( next to The Park Centre )

High Park RoadRyde, Isle of Wight

Phone: 01983 611 913

Price: £8.50

Website: https://www.theparkcentre.org.uk

A rare appearance by Gordon on the Isle of Wight.

The Venue that Gordon will be playing in is St Johns Church in Ryde, a lovely venue with a capacity of around 150.

The reason we, as The Park Centre, have started these 'Acoustic at the Altar' session was to raise money for our Project (we are a registered charity - working within the community to help raise esteem of an 'under-privileged area - we provide training, education, company to those who really need support within the community, and are funded - for wages only - by the National Lottery - although, in order for us to be able to provide these services etc, we rely wholly on funds we can raise independently - we are lucky to receive funds and sponsorships for certain workshops and needs.)

The Acoustic's at the Altar sessions are in no way faith based - we just happen to have a very funky vicar who's really into music! The Centre is based adjacent to the church - again, we aren't faith based at all.

A licensed bar will be available on the night.

Raymond Burley Concert - book and CD launch St Pauls Gallery

94-108 Northwood StBirmingham, W. Midlands B3 1TH

Phone: 0121 2365800

Price: £12.50

Website: https://www.stpaulsgallery.com/Default.aspx

Please note: This concert is by Raymond Burley NOT Gordon.

Raymond Burley's book of Gordon's pieces that mirror the material on his forthcoming album for Hypertension Records 'The Long Road Home' is now complete and published by Lathkill publications LMP119. Both are being given an official launch at this special concert in Birmingham.

Raymond Burley is one of the UK's most experienced classical guitarists having performed countless solo recitals, concertos, on film scores, radio and television, and in virtually every possible guitar ensemble combination.

His partnership with Gordon, as one half of the duo Double Vision, has given him a classic insight into Gordon's music and has made him the ideal candidate for this unique project of offering these compositions in classical arrangements (presented in 'standard' tuning with the occasional dropped D). There are 17 pieces in the book, arranged by Raymond Burley, for Solo Guitar.

Programme will include the pieces on the CD plus works by J.S. Bach.

Gordon now has a gig himself and will be unfortunately unable to attend.

Three friends, but also three wonderful guitarists, each acknowledged as a virtuoso in their style. A mixture of classical rock, celtic, jazz, and classical. This concert will treat fans to their favourite songs with some very special collaborations. A night not to be missed for any lover of the guitar !!

The Town Hall re-opened on Thursday 4 October 2007, with a two-week festival of events on the theme Celebrating the Past, Pioneering the Future. Town Hall has undergone a £35m renovation, funded by Birmingham City Council (£18.3m), Heritage Lottery Fund (£13.7m) and European Regional Development Fund (£3m).

Acclaimed at its opening in 1834 as the finest music hall in the country, this Grade 1 listed landmark has been lovingly and painstakingly renovated by a dedicated team of conservation and construction professionals. Since that time, its imposing neo-classical design has dominated the City centre's Victoria and Chamberlain Squares.

Swalcliffe Village Hall

Nr Banbury

Phone: 01295 780616

Swalcliffe, is a small, peaceful village in the north of Oxfordshire, England on the edge of the Cotswolds. It is one of several small villages (including Tadmarton and Broughton) on the B4035 road between Banbury and Shipston-on-Stour. Its name is said to mean 'the cliff where swallows nest' and has been spelled and pronounced differently over the centuries. It is still sometimes called 'Swayclye'.
The wooden village hall was built by voluntary work and public subscription in 1924.

The village has a church (St Peter and St Paul), a pub (The Stag's Head), several cottages and houses, and a large area of woodland and fields. There is also a boarding school, Swalcliffe Park School, for boys with special educational needs. Just to the north of the village lie the site of an Iron Age hill fort (best viewed from the Shutford side), Roman villa at Swalcliffe Lea (site only), and line of the old Roman Road now a bridleway.

At the west end of the village stands Swalcliffe Barn, an impressive 15th Century traditional Tithe Barn.

The Stables is situated in a beautiful rural setting in Wavendon, just to the south east of Milton Keynes and a short drive from central Milton Keynes.

Wavendon Allmusic Plan Ltd (WAP), a registered charity, was founded in 1969 by the world-renowned jazz musicians Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth, with an aim to provide a centre of musical activity which would break down barriers between music genres and introduce music to as many people as possible regardless of age or social background.

The vision was realised with the development of The Stables Theatre, in some outbuildings at their home, as a venue for concerts and education activities. In October 2000, the new Stables Theatre opened its doors on a 398 seat auditorium which now presents over 200 concerts and over 200 education sessions each year.

PinchinthorpeNr. Guisborough TS14 8HG

Phone: 01287 630200

Price: £10.00

Website: https://www.pinchinthorpehall.co.uk/

Pinchinthorpe Hall dates back to the 12th Century when the Norman family of Pinchun held land here.
At the beginning of the 14th Century the site passed to the de Thorpes. Walter de Thorpe was Prior of Gisborough Abbey 1393-1408. In the mid 15th Century the manor passed over to the Conyers family then in 1576 it passed to the Lee family and they owned the site for the next 400 years. Edward Lee was Archbishop of York in 1531 and Sir Richard Lee was Lord Mayor of London in 1461-1470.

The present building was built in the 17thC but beneath the gardens lay the remains of the very first Manor built during the time of King William.

The gardens date back to the Georgian era and they give a fascinating view of life as it was centuries ago. Parts of the original medieval moat still remain as does a well which would have provided the only supply of water. The kitchen garden provided fruit and vegetables to the manor and evidence of the original compost heaps behind the hollow brick walls of the hothouses is clear to see. The natural heat from the compost would permeate through the wall cavity providing that essential heat in order for the vines and tender plants to survive.

In the late 1800's Pinchinthorpe Hall became home to Liberal MP Penry Williams during which time Lloyd George was known to stay at the Hall on a number of occasions.

In 1996 Pinchinthorpe Hall was purchased by the Tinsley family. The former dairy and coach house was then converted into a micro organic brewery and brewhouse bistro and the Manor into a Country House Hotel and fine dining restaurant.

Website: https://www.alnwickplayhouse.co.uk/


The Playhouse was originally built in 1925 and operated as a 700 seat Cinema and occasional Music Hall until changing public tastes led to a sad decline and eventual closure in 1979.  The building was only saved from demolition by the professional touring group Northumberland Theatre Company.  They bought the building and converted the ground floor into a rehearsal and administrative base for their productions.  The Company are now known as NTC Touring Theatre Company and take their highly acclaimed productions all over the country.

The upper floor is leased to an independent registered charity called The Alnwick District Playhouse Trust.  They raised over £500,000 to convert the derelict balcony of the former Cinema into a new multi-purpose Arts venue which has already been visited by over 300,000 people since re-opening in December 1990.  

The Trust acquired an adjoining property in 1994 and a second phase of development work was completed in August 1996.  The Playhouse now boasts an impressive new frontage, ground floor box office and can offer full access throughout the building.

Phone: 01379 668875

Website: https://www.thefourchurchesfestival.co.uk

The four churches festival will be returning to the Waveney Valley in May with rock legend Rick Wakeman once again at the helm.

The world-renowned keyboard player, and star of television series Grumpy Old Men, lives in the Diss area where the festival is based. And he will be joined by a cast of musicians, comedians and actors including Nicholas Parsons, television comedy producer Charles Garland and Keith Skues, awarded an MBE in 2004 for his services to broadcasting and charity.

"It always gives me immense pleasure to perform in these ancient and unique buildings, and I am really looking forward to working alongside the talented artists booked for this event," said Mr Wakeman who lives next door to the Rev Trevor Riess, the priest in charge of the four parishes.

"Working with the team from the local churches also enables me to see how a few dedicated people ensure that these fabulous buildings are looked after for the benefit of everyone in the community."

The festival opens with a comedy night with Joe Goodman and special guests at Billingford church on Wednesday May 27, followed by an evening with Nicholas Parsons at All Saints Church, Thorpe Abbots, the following day. He will also chair a live version of Radio 4's hit show 'Just a Minute' at Brockdish church on Friday May 29 that includes Rick Wakeman in the line-up.

The festival concludes on Saturday May 30 with two performances by Gordon Giltrap, one of the UK's most respected guitarists, at St Andrew's Church, Scole.

Mr Riess said: "The festival embodies the medieval ideal of churches as community centres - places where Christian worship takes place alongside a whole range of other activities that enhance the quality of people's lives.

"We are all really looking forward to welcoming this year's performers as well as the many hundreds of people who will be coming to see them."

He and Mr Wakeman moved into neighbouring properties on the same day and the idea of holding a festival involving the four parishes was born over a cup of coffee, when the two men were discussing the cost of keeping churches alive. The first took place in May 2006, raising several thousand pounds.

Tickets for the 2009 festival are available from Scole Stores, or contact David Case on 01379 668875, or email fourchurches@btinternet.com

Regularly updated information on performances, tickets and availability can be obtained online at: www.thefourchurchesfestival.co.uk

Bridgwater Arts Centre

11-12 Castle StreetBridgwater, Somerset TA6 3DD

Phone: 01278 422 700

Purchase Tickets: click here

Website: https://www.bridgwaterartscentre.co.uk/

Castle Street in Bridgwater, where the Arts Centre stands, was built upon the derelict site of Bridgwater Castle which was dismantled on the orders of parliament. The eighteenth century was a time when the town of Bridgwater created great wealth and Castle Street was built as a speculative development. The houses are built of local brick with ashlar dressings and were designed by the architect Benjamin Holloway.

Construction began in 1723 on the orders of James Brydges, first Duke of Chandos. Castle Street was one of the finest streets in Somerset and predates any of the 18th century domestic buildings in Bath. Many of the original features of the house have gone. The Kelting Room contains the most interesting architectural features. The plaster ceiling mouldings and the fireplace are original, as are the wooden side cupboards, the window panels and window seats. The fireplace is in the style of Robert Adam with a fine inverted arch fire basket made of cast iron.

After the end of the 2nd W.W. number eleven Castle Street became available for sale or rent. In 1945 Gwen Pollard who was a local patron of the Arts, realized that here was an opportunity to open an Art Centre for the people of Bridgwater. Bridgwater Arts Centre was opened on 10th October 1946, with the financial help of the newly established Arts Council. It was the first Arts Centre in Britain to open with Arts Council support. A portrait of Gwen Pollard still hangs in the Kelting Room in recognition of her influence and commitment in getting the original Arts Centre open.

The building was purchased by Bridgwater Borough Council in 1966, which then passed into the ownership of Sedgemoor District Council in 1974. Number eleven Castle Street was acquired in 1982, on condition that members of the Arts Centre took responsibility for it and any costs involved in refurbishing the interior.

The event takes place on Friday 26th June and promises to be the not-to-be-missed event in the Beyond the Barricade 10th Anniversary Tour!

They have some very special guests lined up. Rebecca Vere has already confirmed she will be one of their guest stars. Rebecca was with BtB 10 years ago, having joined them while playing Cosette in Les Miserables. They are also waiting for confirmation from another young lady who was with them all those years ago, and then went on to star in numerous West End shows! Many of you will have seen her in Les Miserables (West End and Tour), and most recently maybe in a devilishly wicked musical! As soon as we get confirmation we will post it!

Dentdale Music and Beer Festival

Dentdale, Yorkshire

Website: https://www.dentmusicandbeer.com

With the help from most of the community and support from our local business friends (see our official sponsors), we are hoping to ease the credit crunch a little, with all the music totally free for the 2009 event.

The food will be local and cooked by local people, the beer is as local as you can get it, with a good choice of guest beers, and to top things off, a great line up as well.

The Dent Beer and Music Festival is totally free! The way we are making money to stage the event is donations from the retail businesses in Dent, so the pubs, campsites cafe's, shops ect have all made donations, we have a fund raising event at the Manor in May and a concert planned in April. The rest of the money will be made in Beer and food sales which we intend as a community to staff, cook and manage ourselves. We run the Dentdale Show (agricultural show) in August the very same way and it works a treat and it gets the whole community behind what we are doing. Everybody will just have to make sure that they arrive in good time to squeeze into the marquee.

As with the August Dentdale Show, we put on a free event so the village is mad busy, which helps the economy of Dent and any money made up and above a small retainer we need for the following year is handed out to the various organizations in Dent I.e. Pre school, school, Friends of Dent, WI, etc.

So here's to a fantastic weekend and a huge welcome to many a new and old friend to our wonderful Dentdale - let the music begin!!

Free workshop Icknield Community College

Love Lane Watlington, Oxfordshire OX49 5RB

Phone: 01491 613005


Watlington is a quaint village at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in south Oxfordshire, just minutes from junction 6 of the M40, and becoming well known for the wonderful Red Kites that circle overhead.  

When Gordon was appearing on the BBC Radio 2 Ken Bruce Show doing the Tracks of His Years, a member of the Friends of Watlington Library heard him and approached Leigh Greenham with the idea of asking Gordon to do a concert in support of the fund to rebuild the library.  

The nearby Icknield Community College will be a super venue for this concert, having great sound and lighting and comfortable tiered seating. Liquid refreshments will be available before the concert and during the interval, and we hope to have a special celebrity to introduce Gordon.

The following information has been sent to me by Leigh Greenham, organiser of the Watlington concert on 4th July:

Things are now hotting up for the charity gig that I am organising for Gordon on 4th July in Watlington and we have already sold over half of the 250 tickets. Gordon has kindly agreed to hold a free masterclass/workshop at 5pm before the concert at 7:30pm, so I was wondering if you could add this to the listing on his website? (Places need to be reserved by contacting me) Locally, the idea of a masterclass has been quite newsworthy, and has allowed me to get coverage in local media that otherwise wouldn't have been interested.

Can you also perhaps put a posting on the forum about it? I know that some of Gordon's London based fans were asking where they might see him in a workshop-type event, and Watlington is less than one hour's drive from West London.

Thanks for your help,
Leigh

Please contact Leigh by phone or email if you would like to book a free place at the workshop or purchase tickets for the concert.

ART MEETS MUSIC TO SHAPE NATURE

Gordon Giltrap, the celebrated guitarist, is to perform a short, low key and intimate unplugged acoustic set on Saturday 11 July at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists to mark the end of the Shaping Nature exhibition.

Artist David White and sculptor Viv Astling have collaborated in an exhibition which opened on 29 June and shows paintings and sculpture based mainly on forms in the landscape or the garden.

Gordon's latest CD, a collaboration with Rick Wakeman is entitled 'From Brush and Stone' and he will play in a gallery full of works created either by the brush or made from stone. The event starting at 3.30 on the last day of the show will demonstrate the relationship between the visual arts and music. Most of the numbers played will have connections with the world of nature.

Gordon said, "Both my wife Hilary and I share a great love of art in its many forms, and during my career I have drawn on works of art as a source of inspiration for my music, from William Blake through to the Pre-Raphaelites and Alan Aldridge in between. We are looking forward to an enjoyable time at the gallery sharing my music with all who attend, and also being a small part of the celebrations surrounding this fine exhibition."

The event will be held at the RBSA Gallery in Brook Street, Birmingham on Saturday 11 July from 3.30 to 4.00pm and is free. All welcome.

Norden Farm Arts Centre

Altwood RoadMaidenhead SL6 4PF

Phone: 01628 788 997

Price: £11.75

Website: https://nordenfarm.org/?nfs=D8YXf7gpMn&tmpl=default

Since September 2000, Norden Farm has offered the people of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, and beyond, the best in entertainment and the performing arts.

The Centre's history begins in the 1970s, when a strong demand for an arts centre for Maidenhead began to emerge. It was focused by the establishment of Maidenhead Arts in 1978, set up as an umbrella organisation of local arts groups committed to establishing an appropriate centre for both amateur and professional work.

In 1992 an opportunity arose to consider part of the Norden Farm site, sought for redevelopment. The site offered listed buildings with a quality ambience suited to creative activity, an opportunity to preserve part of Maidenhead's heritage, and a proximity to the heart of the community which would enable use of the facility to be maximised.

A Trust with Registered Charity status, Norden Farm Centre Trust, was established to manage the project. Work commenced on building Norden Farm arts centre in early 1994. In autumn 1994 the National Lottery commenced operation and Norden Farm Centre Trust applied to the Arts Council for lottery funding to complete Norden Farm.

Following an intensive and detailed design and public consultation phase, planning approval was granted in September 1997. The Arts Council carried out a full assessment during autumn 1997, prior to an announcement of support and approval for the finished scheme with a Lottery award of £5,295,000 in January 1998. The final design stage of the project was completed in late 1998 and Norden Farm Centre for the Arts finally opened its doors to the public on the 17 September 2000.

Up to 2,500 people a week visit the Centre for a variety of live shows, films, classes and workshops or to eat in the Cafe Bar.

Sold Out St Michael's Church

Bishops Itchington CV47 2QJ

Phone: 01926 613466 (6-9pm only please)

Price: £12.00

This event is now SOLD OUT

"To lose one church may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." (nearly Oscar Wilde )

As a Church of England vicar, Martin Green is responsible for 2 Warwickshire churches.  In 2008, tragedy struck when, on Palm Sunday, one of his churches (St Nicholas') was broken into and burnt down. Later that year, his other church (St Michael's) was declared an emergency restoration project, when large chunks of stone began falling out of the church tower, threatening closure.

St Michaels church in Bishops Itchington was built in its present form in 1872, but sadly, the stone used has gone way beyond its safe sell-by date. We are currently facing a £250,000 restoration project to prevent the church from closing.  

English Heritage have stepped in and offered a substantial grant towards these costs. They have recognised that our church is an integral part of the community as well as being a historical landmark. It is used by the community for all kinds of things that span all ages, from mums and tots to pensioners' lunches, as well as weekly worship.  

We are thrilled that Gordon has offered his musical services to help us raise the £70,000 we need on top of the English Heritage grant. He is a great friend and has been a generous and encouraging musical mentor for many years. All proceeds from this concert will go to the St Michael's Tower Fund.


Do please support us by coming along – it promises to be a very special evening.

Tickets : £12 each   (concessions for under 18's /OAP's : £10)
available from Martin and Louise Green

Phone: 01263 512 495

Website: https://www.deckchairproductions.co.uk/rocknblues-prog.html

This October sees Cromer hosting its biggest event of its kind. 'Rock 'n' Blues on the Pier' a new weekend project which ill feature some of the biggest names on today's UK and international rhythm and blues and rock circuits. Produced by the same team responsible for the annual 'Folk on the Pier' festival, which celebrates eleven successful years this May, the event will follow the same afternoon and evening formats on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October.

Over the weekend the Pavilion Theatre on Cromer Pier will be hosting an array of different guitar styles, blues harmonicas and other instruments offered by numerous masters of their craft and it is hoped that this inaugral event will evolve into an annual weekend in the same way that Cromer's folk festival has, providing a late season boost to the economy of the town. The event producers will also be looking towards sponsored fringe concerts in town over the weekend similar to the May folk festival.

The concerts feature twelve separate performances on the Pavilion stage and include headliners such as harmonica led Nine Below Zero, Dr Feelgood one of the UK's foremost chart topping rythmn and blues groups, the Spikedrivers with their slide guitar railroad shuffles as well as maestro acoustic guitarist Gordon Giltrap

There will be a salute to Woodstock by way of Viva Santana, recognised as the most authentic tribute to the music of Carlos Santana and The Hamsters will return to Cromer with their formidable and highly authentic take on the music of the legendary Jimi Hendrix.

The weekend is headlined by one of the foremost progressive rock bands of the seventies, noted for their twin guitar harmonies, Wishbone Ash.

We understand Gordon will be on stage from 2.45pm - 3.45pm, however, please check availability of tickets and confirm date / start times with the organiser before setting out, as sometimes changes are unavoidable - thank you.

Over the years the people of Goostrey have demonstrated time and time again that they are willing to enthusiastically back arts events organised locally and it is this admiral tradition of support that has inspired us to arrange such an ambitious programme of events. We hope you will enjoy it and support the various activities throughout the week.

The success of Carn to Cove is founded on the commitment and enthusiasm of the local volunteers around the county.

To keep their local hall as a centre of social and live performance activity they need the support of you and your friends in coming out for a great night out at live performances.

Tickets can be booked Online by clicking on the date by each Venue.  If Online booking is not available, you'll be given the phone number for the local hall.  

For events that are bookable Online, you can also place your order by phone with central ticketing office run by the Cornish Riviera Box Office.  Please phone on (01726) 879 500  (Local Rate 0845 094 0428)

Update 25th Sept:

A telephone fault has caused chaos for ticket sales for a Carleen show.

People trying to buy tickets for the up and coming Carn to Cove shows have been experiencing difficulties due to a telephone fault.

The fault was caused after a hay lorry pulled the telephone cable off the wall of October Cottage in Carleen on Monday, September 14 – and has still not been fixed.

The cottage is owned by Dugg Polman, who is co-ordinating the ticket sales but has been unable to receive bookings by phone.

He said: "I have tried three times to have calls diverted to my mobile but they still aren't coming through. I am worried that people may not come, thinking that the shows aren't on or they can't buy tickets, but that is not the case. We are still very much in business."

Tickets can instead be bought from Carole on 01736 762220.

Rick's Musical Tales of Christmas Details from Paul Chandler RWCC

Jo & I (RWCC) are delighted that Rick Wakeman will once again be coming to Marlborough to perform two Christmas concerts this year. In addition to the concerts, we will also be holding the RWCC Christmas Party at The Marriott Hotel in Swindon.

The dates for the concerts are Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th December and as before, these will be staged at The Marlborough College Memorial Hall. ( Please DO NOT contact Marlborough College regarding these concerts ).

Saturday, 8.00pm ( bar open from 6.30pm )

Sunday, 7.30pm ( bar open from 6.00pm )

Lunch Party, Noon ( bar from 11.30am )

The RWCC Party will be held at The Marriott Hotel in Pipers Way, Swindon at noon on Sunday 20th December. The lunch party is something that my wife Jo & I lay on for Rick's fans. Last time we did this, 225 fans sat down to a traditional Christmas lunch with Rick at The Marriott Hotel in Swindon. Rick sets up a keyboard and all his kids and grandchildren are there. Father Christmas turns up and hands out presents to the children. It's just great !

We are very excited to be able to confirm that performing with Rick at the concerts will be Gordon Giltrap, The English Chamber Choir, Jemma Wakeman, and subject to their commitments, Oliver and Adam Wakeman have expressed their desire to attend.

This year, we will have a website, ( still under construction ), from which you should be able to purchase tickets online with a credit / debit card. The website can be found at www.rickatmarlborough.com and we thank Gregg Marshall for all his efforts over the past years for our web presence. We can also accept payment by cheque, or, as a slight alternative to the online store, by Paypal. Anyone wishing to pay by Paypal should email us at rwcc@rwcc.com giving us your email address and we will send you a request for the money.

Concert tickets cost £27.50 and Party tickets cost £37.50

Now, here lies a snag. Paying by card or Paypal incurs fees and we cannot absorb these. Adding the charges and postage, we will have to charge £29.00 for concert tickets and £39.35 for party tickets when using the website or Paypal. We are more than happy to accept cheques, but Lloyds TSB charge us 30p to pay in a cheque so we would ask you to add 30p to your total, and of course you will only pay £27.50 and £37.50 respectively assuming you include a SAE. Cheques payable to Moonraker Events please.

Last time we did this, 225 fans sat down to a traditional Christmas lunch with Rick at The Marriott Hotel in Swindon. Rick sets up a keyboard and all his kids and grandchildren are there. Father Christmas turns up and hands out presents to the children. It's just great !

We are very excited to be able to confirm that performing with Rick at the concerts will be Gordon Giltrap, The English Chamber Choir, Jemma Wakeman, and subject to their commitments, Oliver and Adam Wakeman have expressed their desire to attend.

This year, we will have a website, ( still under construction ), from which you should be able to purchase tickets online with a credit / debit card. The website can be found at www.rickatmarlborough.com and we thank Gregg Marshall for all his efforts over the past years for our web presence. We can also accept payment by cheque, or, as a slight alternative to the online store, by Paypal. Anyone wishing to pay by Paypal should email us at rwcc@rwcc.com giving us your email address and we will send you a request for the money.

Concert tickets cost £27.50 and Party tickets cost £37.50

Now, here lies a snag. Paying by card or Paypal incurs fees and we cannot absorb these. Adding the charges and postage, we will have to charge £29.00 for concert tickets and £39.35 for party tickets when using the website or Paypal. We are more than happy to accept cheques, but Lloyds TSB charge us 30p to pay in a cheque so we would ask you to add 30p to your total, and of course you will only pay £27.50 and £37.50 respectively assuming you include a SAE. Cheques payable to Moonraker Events please.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Yarnfield is a large village in Staffordshire. It is located approximately three miles west of the town of Stone and is surrounded by the North
Staffordshire Green Belt. This large settlement has a population of about 1218.

The older parts of the settlement are centred on the Green, a large area of common land; Gorsty Hill Farm and Yew Tree Farm. Although the settlement was originally based around a number of farms, sadly, none of these is any longer a working farm.

After the last war a redundant army camp was developed into a GPO training college. More recently this became a BT College which, in its heyday, had approximately 2000 students a week. Although the College is no longer responsible for training such large numbers of students it still occupies a large site. Part of this has become a conference centre known as Yarnfield Park.

Over recent years the village has undergone considerable development. Residential developments have taken place in areas to the north and south of The Green which is a protected open space. The settlement is located within the draft Special Landscape Area and a wetlands Consultation Area lies to the east of the village.

The village has a post office/general convenience store; Springfields school for children aged from 5-9:  a village hall; a pub called "The Labour in Vain"; and a small C of E church dedicated to St Barnabas.

Bar and ( Gordon's favourite ! ) a raffle

Website: https://www.theboardwalklive.co.uk/

Hidden behind the main part of Sheffield's city centre is a music venue made of the stuff others can only dream of.

Home to legends and locals alike, the Boardwalk is Sheffield's very own Cavern, a fifty year old music venue that has seen some of the greatest acts in music history pass through its doors, and is still going strong in the 21st century.

First, a little history lesson for all you budding musos. Known at various times as the Black Swan and the Mucky Duck, The Boardwalk has seen Genesis, AC/DC, the Sex Pistols and the Clash (their first gig!), and more recently David Gray and Ryan Adams perform onstage.

And it doesn't even limit itself to one style of music - you'll find rock, blues, acoustic, heavy metal, thrash metal, nu metal, country, folk, world music and anything else you can think of. The Boardwalk is hallowed ground, and as such deserves regular pilgrimages from anyone in Sheffield who wants to hear great music.

The emphasis is still on giving Sheffield quality live music seven days a week. With an acoustic night every fortnight, regular local unsigned acts during the week, as well as more established bands on tours across the country, variety is the key.

The Theatre Royal is situated in the heart of Wakefield, on the corner of Westgate and Drury Lane. There has been a theatre on the site since 1774, with the current building dating from 1894 and designed by the internationally known British Victorian theatre architect Frank Matcham.

The building itself (a grade II* listed building) has been many things during its lifetime including a theatre, cinema and bingo hall and following restoration in the early 1980's is now one of the jewels in Wakefield's crown. These days, however, it is much more than just a heritage landmark - it is a centre of excellence from where a team of dedicated and professional staff are engaged in delivering a range of creative opportunities for the benefit of everyone in the district.

There is ample car parking around Theatre Royal Wakefield. During the day this operates on a pay and display basis. In the evening (after 6pm) some car parks may not charge: please be sure to check the signs at each car park.

Lighthouse is located in the centre of Poole opposite the bus station, the Dolphin Shopping Centre and is only 5 minutes walk from the train station. We are the largest regional arts centre outside London and in this case size does matter.

The relaunch of the facility saw the introduction of many new features, as well as improved exsiting ones, including the new studio theatre, a ground floor bar and an all new imaginative facade to the building that comes alive at night with an impressive display of lighting. The old first floor bar has been completely transformed and is now a work of art in it's own right, produced by sculptor Danny Lane.

The recent refurbishment of The Capitol is just one chapter in a long history of entertainment and the arts in Horsham.

The site of the current Capitol was originally an ABC Cinema. First opened in 1936 as a one screen with a 900 seat capacity, it was then just one of many cinemas in Horsham.

The original Capitol theatre (after which, the new arts centre is named) was actually situated a few minutes walk away on the site that is now Marks and Spencer. With its closure in 1983, the council purchased the ABC on North Street and developed it into the Horsham Arts Centre. This opened its doors to the public Christmas 1984.

After nearly 20 years, Horsham Arts Centre closed its doors in January 2002 and so marked the beginning of what was arguably the most ambitious and impressive change to the town's key entertainment centre. A massive 6million refurbishment was completed this September 2003 and the result is a stunning arts complex that melds the elegant art-deco features of the original ABC with an innovative and modern design for the 21st Century. After being closed for just 20 months, the exciting new venue offers unrivalled all round facilities including a theatre, 2 cinemas, studio, gallery space and stylish caf and lounge bar.

In the late 1940s the Council purchased the building and converted it to a theatre and cinema as 'Doncaster Arts Centre' - one of the first such municipal facilities in the country.

Following major refurbishment in the 1970s the Doncaster Civic Theatre was born. Since then this 495 seat, single story proscenium auditorium has been the mainstay of arts activity in Doncaster, attracting over 70,000 visits a year to a varied and lively entertainments programme.

Currently funded and operated by Doncaster Council Directorate of Safer, Stronger & Sustainable Communities, Neighbourhoods, its programme is a mix of professional entertainment and artistic product alongside a thriving local amateur scene and an extremely successful annual Pantomime production.

The Market Theatre, which opened in January 2000, combines the intimacy of the old Market Theatre with modern purpose-built facilities.  It provides a dedicated venue for amateur and professional performing arts, and is of enormous benefit to the town and the surrounding area.

The Theatre is situated in Market Street, which runs through the former Cattle Market between Bye Street and New Street, very near the centre of the town of Ledbury, Herefordshire.  The area opposite our frontage is now Ledbury's Community Hospital.

The Theatre has:

A seating capacity of 128 in 8 raked and staggered rows.
A flexible front-of-house area that is suitable for social, rehearsal or studio performance uses.
A small bar.  This is part of the foyer, and both are open half an hour before each performance.
A balcony overlooking the foyer, which can be used as a Musicians' Gallery.  The spindles for this were turned on a traditional pole lathe from green oak by local craftswoman, Gudren Leitz, who carried out the same task for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in Southwark, London.
A stage area that overcomes the height and width restrictions experienced in the old theatre.  This can provide additional seating.
The disabled facilities and indoor toilets that the old building lacked.  This includes level wheelchair access to the foyer, auditorium, stage and backstage.  There is also a loop for the hard of hearing.
Dressing rooms and a workshop area.

Nettlebed Folk Song Club was started in July 1975 by a group of Folk Song lovers from Maidenhead in Berkshire when the tenant of a local public house moved to the Bull Inn at Nettlebed, nr. Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.

From a small start in a tiny bar (40 people) the Club progressed to a converted coaching barn holding over 100 and quickly established itself as one of the Folk scenes major circuit venues.

The Club moved in 1991 to its present venue at the Village Club in Nettlebed. This was due to the closure of the Bull Inn by its owners Brakspears Brewery in Henley. However, the opportunity was taken to 'change gear' as the new venue held 200 people.

The Folk Song Club is a volunteer run, non profit organisation and takes over 12 people to keep it running smoothly!

Cassington Village Hall

The GreenCassington, Oxfordshire OX29 4DN

Phone: 07747 621 597 / 01865 884458

Cassington is a small village in Oxfordshire, just to the northwest of Oxford and near the villages of Eynsham and Yarnton. The village is situated to the north of the river Thames near its confluence with the River Evenlode and on the gravel strata of the Thames valley.

Evidence of early settlement has been found including Bronze Age, found during gravel quarrying, Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon. Cassington's name comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'caersentun' meaning 'tun where cress grows'.

Cassington is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 as Cersetone, along with its hamlets of Worton to the north, and the abandoned Somerford to the south.

The population numbered 710 people, according to the 2001 census. The village contains two village greens, two classic English pubs, the Red Lion and the Chequers Inn, a primary school and St Peters church.

St Peters is a Norman church founded in the 12th century by Geoffrey de Clinton. The church is stone built and is principally Norman. Extensive alterations appear to have been made to the church in the 14th century with the tower being raised two storeys and the present octagonal spire added.

Newly-built and finished to a high specification, the light and airy village hall has a small stage and can seat up to 100 in theatre style or as a banquet, or up to 200 standing.

The Stables is situated in a beautiful rural setting in Wavendon, just to the south east of Milton Keynes and a short drive from central Milton Keynes.

Wavendon Allmusic Plan Ltd (WAP), a registered charity, was founded in 1969 by the world-renowned jazz musicians Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth, with an aim to provide a centre of musical activity which would break down barriers between music genres and introduce music to as many people as possible regardless of age or social background.

The vision was realised with the development of The Stables Theatre, in some outbuildings at their home, as a venue for concerts and education activities. In October 2000, the new Stables Theatre opened its doors on a 398 seat auditorium which now presents over 200 concerts and over 200 education sessions each year.

Venue: Jim Marshall Auditorium
Tickets: £17.50

Website: https://www.rondotheatre.co.uk

The Rondo is a truly unique venue with an intimate and friendly atmosphere situated in Larkhall's easily accessible shopping centre. The Rondo offers 105 excellent seats all close to the stage, a great bar (you can drink as you watch the show!) Doors and bar open 30 minutes before performance. Drinks may be taken to your seat and bar is open during any interval and after the show.

The birth of The Rondo Theatre in 1989 sprang from the extraordinary generosity of Doreen and Wilf Williams. Having bought the building from St Saviours Church in 1976 to turn it into a concert venue and centre for the local community, they gifted the freehold to the newly formed charity, The Rondo Trust. Work started on a new bar, raked seating and a control room above the auditorium. In 1996 the theatre received a major lottery and sports and arts grant that enabled the building to be extended to provide dressing rooms, a backstage room, offices and a foyer at the front of the building. In 2003 the theatre received a second lottery grant to install state of the art lighting equipment.

Double Vision are Gordon Giltrap and Raymond Burley www.raymondburley.com

Although initially the players were not certain that the mix of nylon and steel-strung guitars would blend sufficiently well, rehearsals and some very successful concerts - including The Purcell Room at London's South Bank Centre - helped to convince them that not only would it work well but that it was a partnership to which both musicians would be happy to devote a major amount of time.

The duo has been hailed as one of the most exciting guitar partnerships to emerge in recent years.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

One of the most remarkable buildings in West Yorkshire and the only remaining square church in Britain, Square Chapel was designed by Thomas Bradley and built in 1772.

Unbelievably for a building of such historic and architectural importance, it was allowed to fall into a sad state of disrepair. The home at various times to Sunday Schools, scout groups, football teams and its own orchestra, it was threatened with demolition.

In 1988, the Square Chapel Trust was formed to save the building and breathe new life into it. The Trust has been remarkably successful.

The building has been carefully and lovingly restored over the last ten years, with many of the features found in a thriving arts centre including an attractive bar. The sensitively renovated auditorium is spectacular, its perfect acoustic one of the finest anywhere in the country.

The Community Concert Programme was founded in 2007, when it was realised that following many succesful ad hoc concerts at the church, there was a place for a high quality extended concert programme in a welcoming venue, which would be of interest to the local community and could be executed with a ticket price which would be attractive.

The programme does not seek to "make a profit" and is funded from ticket sales. We have been fortunate to receive a number of generous donations specifically in support of the programme and these, with our prudent approach, ensure the future of the programme for future years. At June 2009 we received a donation of £1000 by Medway Council, from the Rainham Central Ward Development Fund.

The motto of the programme is 'London Quality at Local Prices' and we aim to create annual programmes which bring together performers, nationally and internationally known and from the local area, mixing a wide variety of musical styles to provide a series of events which we hope are attractive to our audience.


Doors open 6.45pm, music 7.30pm

Wavendon Allmusic Plan Ltd (WAP), a registered charity, was founded in 1969 by the world-renowned jazz musicians Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth, with an aim to provide a centre of musical activity which would break down barriers between music genres and introduce music to as many people as possible regardless of age or social background.

The vision was realised with the development of The Stables Theatre, in some outbuildings at their home, as a venue for concerts and education activities. In October 2000, the new Stables Theatre opened its doors on a 398 seat auditorium which now presents over 200 concerts and over 200 education sessions each year.

Town Hall Birmingham is one of the oldest concert halls in the world. It has been at the centre of British musical life, and at the heart of Birmingham’s cultural scene, since the day it opened in October 1834.

The Town Hall re-opened on Thursday 4 October 2007, with a two-week festival of events on the theme Celebrating the Past, Pioneering the Future.

Town Hall has undergone a £35m renovation, funded by Birmingham City Council (£18.3m), Heritage Lottery Fund (£13.7m) and European Regional Development Fund (£3m).

Acclaimed at its opening in 1834 as the finest music hall in the country, this Grade 1 listed landmark has been lovingly and painstakingly renovated by a dedicated team of conservation and construction professionals. Since that time, its imposing neo-classical design has dominated the City centre’s Victoria and Chamberlain Squares.


Tickets: £17.50
Plus £2 fee per transaction on all bookings except purchases made in person at the Box Office.

Following an extensive programme of fund-raising in Beech over the past few years and the award in late 2008 of additional funding from the Big Lottery Fund, Beech Village Hall has recently been extended and extensively renovated.

The final touches were put to Phase I of the building project in early 2010 and the new Hall was officially opened on Saturday 6th March 2010 by broadcaster, novelist, journalist, gardener – and former local resident – Alan Titchmarsh MBE.

As a result of everyone’s hard work, Beech now boasts probably the best village hall in the area (at least!)

How to find Beech Village Hall

The Hall is situated on the well-kept village green and is just half a mile from the main A339 Alton to Basingstoke road from where it is clearly sign-posted, so it is very easy to find.

It is located at the junction of Medstead Road and Wellhouse Road, postcode GU34 4AD

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Now one of the country's largest regional guitar shows, The Merseyside Guitar Show is back, and will once again serve guitarists from across the North West and beyond.

Having been established for eight years now, the Merseyside Guitar Show has become one of the UK's biggest regional guitar show, with more than 80 dealers and exhibitors.

The show, at the famous Grand National racecourse on 20th November, is expected to attract around 1,500 visitors, with 80 exhibitors including JHS, Dawsons, Patrick Eggle and PMT among others.

It is organised by Warrington guitarist, Peter Hoarty, a guitar collector and enthusiast and member of the popular Eagles tribute band, the Golden Eagles

There will be Christmas bargains and special show deals and free appraisals of instruments and amps will be available.

The live music line-up will be headlined by acoustic maestro, Gordon Giltrap, playing his Vintage VE2000GG Signature guitar while Manchester trio, Snakewater return by popular demand, featuring guitarist Bobby Grant.

JHS’s Gavin Coulson will demonstrate Vintage and Fret-King guitars; Timber Tones and Logarhythm present acoustic tapping specialist, Chris Woods and ace shredder and YouTube favourite, Hayden Hewitt, will demonstrate Sidewynder pickups.

There will be workshops from Twinstomp Effects, Bose, Tayden Speakers, Wienbrock Amps & Stone Deaf Effects.

The Show is sponsored by John Hornby Skewes, Dawsons Music, PMT, Promenade Music, My Guitar Lessons and Patrick Eggle Guitars.

Other music industry stalwarts Frets of Cleveleys, Guitars4You, Adrenaline Flightcases, Madison & Fifth, Wild Child Distribution, North West Guitars,, Sandarac, Promote Your Band, Zilla Cabs and Flightcase Warehouseare also taking part along with many independent dealers, retailers and guitar makers.  

Organiser Peter Hoarty said: “Liverpool is a world renowned guitar town with a fascinating musical history. Some of the first (and now the most collectable) American guitars imported to the UK were brought back to Liverpool in the 40s and 50s by merchant seamen returning via the docks.  In addition, the ‘60s Merseybeat explosion meant that many thousands of guitars and amplifiers were sold into the community by dealers like Hessy’s and Rushworth’s. There must be hundreds of interesting instruments and amps hidden away in attics, sheds and under beds throughout the region. It would be wonderful if they could be brought into the open again so that they can be seen and played as originally intended.

Admission is £6 at the door. For more information call 01925 813185.

When the old South Hayling Goods Shed came up for disposal in December 1992, Hayling Island Amateur Dramatic Society (HIADS) put in a bid to Havant Borough Council, who offered the building and the site at a peppercorn rent, to convert it to a 144 seat theatre.

The costs for such a conversion were estimated to be between £160,000 and £200,000. The funds in HIADS coffers were about £500! With the backing of the council, a massive fund raising effort was started involving an incredible effort by the HIADS members with every concievable money making scheme pushed forward with full gusto. Along with money making schemes and applications for grants, the members put in an estimated 30,000 hours of effort on the building.

The Station Theatre owes its continued success to the generosity and solid support of the people of Hayling Island and surrounding area, the dedication of HIADS members, and the encouragement of Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County Council.

The easiest way to obtain tickets (other than visiting the theatre box office in person) is to phone up the box office between 10am and noon, and reserve your seats.

You can either pay for the tickets in person, or post your payment to us. Once payment is received we can either hold the tickets for collection or send them to you (if you send a stamped self addressed envelope).

Please note: Tickets booked over the telephone are only reserved for 7 days. If we do not receive payment in 7 days, or before 7:00pm on the day of the performance, then we reserve the right to offer those tickets for re-sale.

The Crooked Billet

Newlands Lane, Stoke RowHenley on Thames, Oxon RG9 5PU

Phone: 01491 681048

Website: https://www.thecrookedbillet.co.uk/

The Crooked Billet in Stoke Row is now one of England's finest and most traditional country inns. It is hidden well off the beaten track, down a narrow winding lane, and nestles between beech and oak with a backing onto meadowland.

Built in 1642 ...
It was once the hideout of notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin, who was romantically attached to the landlord's daughter, Bess.
It operated as a smallholding, selling locally produced ale from its tiny cellar. The original cellar is still a feature today.

Paul Clerehugh took over The Crooked Billet in 1989 and quickly gained a reputation for providing excellent food. Paul, a self-taught chef, has not changed any of the original features that give the pub its unique character and charm. Inglenook fireplaces, low timbered ceilings, flagstone floors and old, scrubbed, pine tables all remain and there is still no bar - beer is drawn directly from casks in the cellar.

Many food guides recognise The Crooked Billet; with entries featured in the Good Food Guide, the Which Good Food Guide, the Good Pub Guide, AA Best Pubs & Inns Guide, and Restaurants of the Millennium.

The Crooked Billet has also been included in the 'Best Out of London' in Time Out's Eating & Drinking Guide, two years running.

The Crooked Billet also enjoys a modicum of media fame, having been chosen as a location for big screen movies including Patriot Games and Landgirls, as well as numerous television programmes and commercials. It also hosted Titanic star Kate Winslet's wedding reception.

With Woody Mann The Tivoli Theatre

West BoroughWimborne, Dorset BH21 1LT

Phone: 01202 885566

Price: £14.00

Purchase Tickets: click here

Website: https://www.tivoliwimborne.co.uk

A unique opportunity to see two fantastic musicians performing together.

Among guitarists and critics, Woody Mann is considered a modern master. While the blues are his touchstone, he seems to draw inspiration from every direction, blending a myriad influences with ease and grace.

Having survived the threat of demolition in 1979 for a rapidly abandoned road scheme, the Tivoli will celebrate eighteen  successful years in November 2011. Following a lengthy campaign to save the building, restoration could finally begin. All through 1993 volunteers worked long and hard to get the building into a fit state to open to the public. The Tivoli now has a permanent team who give their time to ongoing maintenance and further improvement of the facilities.

The Tivoli was built in 1936 as a cine/theatre and the tradition of showing both films and live stage shows continues to the present day. Big audiences for major shows were traditional at the Tivoli and the theatre has once again achieved the status of a major 500 seat venue. Local people enjoy the finest and latest films available and with full surround sound. The Tivoli is justly proud that for a theatre of its size it has brought productions to this area which would not have been thought possible back in 1993. The feedback from artistes and agents backs up the claim to this phenomenal success.

The Tivoli Theatre would not be what it is today without its army of volunteers. Thanks to them and their professional attitude, the Theatre is alive and as well as can be expected.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Gordon Giltrap and Oliver Wakeman

Guitar Legend and the next generation of keyboard wizardry join forces!

September and October 2012 will see guitar legend Gordon Giltrap and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman (fresh from 4 years of touring with the classic progressive rock band YES) performing together for the first UK leg of their 'Ravens & Lullabies' tour.

In early 2012, Gordon contacted Oliver with a request for his keyboards services for an album idea he had. Within 24 hours the initial idea had changed beyond recognition and a full blown collaborative project was in the works. Oliver and Gordon have embarked upon this new chapter in their careers and are currently finishing their debut album 'Ravens & Lullabies'.

Featuring a variety of guitars and keyboards, which are their tools in trade, these shows will be the first public performances of a selection of pieces from the new album as well as new arrangements of classic material from both of their retrospective careers.

One of the most innovative acoustic guitarists in the UK today, Gordon Giltrap has developed his own unique style, much copied, but never bettered. It is impossible not to be awestruck as he coaxes incredible melodies from his instruments; you almost suspect a second pair of hands. He is well known for his varied musical output and 'Heartsong' (a hit single from the album 'Perilous Journey' in 1977) is instantly recognized as the theme for the BBC TV's long running 'Holiday' programme.

Following ten solo albums in a variety of styles, Oliver Wakeman joined the legendary band 'YES' in 2008, touring with them up until mid-2011. A live CD and triple vinyl release, 'In The Present - Live from Lyon', was a fitting bookend to his period in the band. He also worked with the folk rock band 'The Strawbs' and appeared on their last studio album as well as their 40th Anniversary CD release. Appearing in venues across North and South America, Europe and the UK with YES, Strawbs and as a solo artist, he has become a well respected live performing musician to add to his other talents as composer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger and producer.

Gordon says "Working with Oliver is like a breath of fresh air. I knew of his reputation as a fine musician, and it made perfect sense for me to tap into his creative energy, not only to bring out certain elements of my musical gifts but to create something new and exciting, at the same time giving a nod in the direction of our respective Progressive Rock roots"

Oliver adds, "After working with YES, the chance of working with another legendary artist was an opportunity too good to miss. I am having a wonderfully productive time working with Gordon and feel we are creating something genuinely unique in our 'Raven's & Lullabies' project."
The tour starts on the 22nd of September 2012 at Huntingdon Hall in Worcester and continues through into late October.

So, with their collective histories and talents to draw inspiration from, be prepared for an evening of beautiful compositions, wit and charm from these two virtuosos.

Llyn Acoustic Guitar Festival - Workshop Oriel Plas Glyn Y Weddw

Llanbedrog Pwllheli, Gwynedd LL53 7TT

Phone: 01758 740 763

Website: https://oriel.org.uk

This dower house was built in 1856/57 for Lady Elizabeth Love Jones Parry of the Madryn Estate. The structure is a superb Victorian Gothic mansion and listed Grade II* by CADW. Plas Glyn-y-Weddw has long been associated with art as it was purpose built to house the widow’s own art collection. With its magnificent Jacobean staircase, hammer beam roof and 10 airy gallery spaces, it rightly bears the name Gallery in the Vale of the Widow. Indeed Lady Love Jones Parry’s ghost is occasionally seen walking the upper landings.

After the death of Lady Elizabeth in 1883, her son Sir Duncombe Love Jones Parry, a lively Baronet and MP for Caernarfon, who assisted in the founding of the Welsh colony in Patagonia, let the mansion to the Angerstein family. They were notable bankers and art collectors of Russian provenance; indeed the elder Mr. Angerstein was said to be a child of the Czarina Anna. Today the only clue to the Angersteins’ involvement with Glyn-y-Weddw is the gravestones of their pet dogs buried in the Plas’ garden.

In 1896 the mansion was sold to the Andrews family of Cardiff. They were entrepreneurs who developed the West End of Pwllheli, established a horse drawn tramway between the Gallery and Pwllheli and opened the mansion to the public. The mansion offered art, music, dancing and other entertainment for visitors and local people.

The mansion survived two world wars and was acquired by a Welsh artist Gwyneth ap Tomos and her husband Dafydd in 1979. They lovingly restored the gallery in the 80s and early 90s and founded a body of Friends of the Gallery who now number over 1200. In 1996 the Gallery was acquired by a trust formed by the Friends, with Lottery, ERDF and other funding and in the following years major restoration of the Gallery took place.

Today the Gallery is a thriving Arts Centre, with its own picture and print collection and an important display of Swansea and Nantgarw porcelain on loan from the Andrews family, descendants of Solomon Andrews who first opened the Gallery to the public.

It also houses two celebrated sepulchral monuments of local Welsh saints from the 6th Century and an exhibition of the mansion’s history.

In 1996 the Gallery was acquired by a trust formed by the Friends, with Lottery, ERDF and other funding and in the following years major restoration of the Gallery took place.

Today the Gallery is a thriving Arts Centre, with its own picture and print collection and an important display of Swansea and Nantgarw porcelain on loan from the Andrews family, descendants of Solomon Andrews who first opened the Gallery to the public.

It also houses two celebrated sepulchral monuments of local Welsh saints from the 6th Century and an exhibition of the mansion’s history.

In 1972, a dome replaced the original wrought ironwork over the clock tower and in 1974, the magistrates moved to the London Road, now home to Belvoir Property Management.  In the same year, South Kesteven District Council was born and the Grantham Borough Council ceased to exist.

Apart from the Mayor’s Parlour, much of the  building was redundant until 1991 when it was redesigned by Sleaford architect Tim Benton and re-opened as the council owned Guildhall Arts Centre at a cost of £1.2 million.

This renovation work saw the session’s hall transformed into the 210-seat theatre and the ballroom was redecorated to its former glory, with the main entrance being at the side of the building. The jail area was converted into the box office.

In 2010 an exciting refurbishment, saw the box office move to the front of the building and the grand victorian entrance being used once more, a new coffee shop was housed in the jail where the kitchen area is still referred to as ‘the back cell.’

Gordon Giltrap and Oliver Wakeman

Guitar Legend and the next generation of keyboard wizardry join forces!

September and October 2012 will see guitar legend Gordon Giltrap and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman (fresh from 4 years of touring with the classic progressive rock band YES) performing together for the first UK leg of their 'Ravens & Lullabies' tour.

In early 2012, Gordon contacted Oliver with a request for his keyboards services for an album idea he had. Within 24 hours the initial idea had changed beyond recognition and a full blown collaborative project was in the works. Oliver and Gordon have embarked upon this new chapter in their careers and are currently finishing their debut album 'Ravens & Lullabies'.

Featuring a variety of guitars and keyboards, which are their tools in trade, these shows will be the first public performances of a selection of pieces from the new album as well as new arrangements of classic material from both of their retrospective careers.

One of the most innovative acoustic guitarists in the UK today, Gordon Giltrap has developed his own unique style, much copied, but never bettered. It is impossible not to be awestruck as he coaxes incredible melodies from his instruments; you almost suspect a second pair of hands. He is well known for his varied musical output and 'Heartsong' (a hit single from the album 'Perilous Journey' in 1977) is instantly recognized as the theme for the BBC TV's long running 'Holiday' programme.

Following ten solo albums in a variety of styles, Oliver Wakeman joined the legendary band 'YES' in 2008, touring with them up until mid-2011. A live CD and triple vinyl release, 'In The Present - Live from Lyon', was a fitting bookend to his period in the band. He also worked with the folk rock band 'The Strawbs' and appeared on their last studio album as well as their 40th Anniversary CD release. Appearing in venues across North and South America, Europe and the UK with YES, Strawbs and as a solo artist, he has become a well respected live performing musician to add to his other talents as composer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger and producer.

Gordon says "Working with Oliver is like a breath of fresh air. I knew of his reputation as a fine musician, and it made perfect sense for me to tap into his creative energy, not only to bring out certain elements of my musical gifts but to create something new and exciting, at the same time giving a nod in the direction of our respective Progressive Rock roots"

Oliver adds, "After working with YES, the chance of working with another legendary artist was an opportunity too good to miss. I am having a wonderfully productive time working with Gordon and feel we are creating something genuinely unique in our 'Raven's & Lullabies' project."
The tour starts on the 22nd of September 2012 at Huntingdon Hall in Worcester and continues through into late October.

So, with their collective histories and talents to draw inspiration from, be prepared for an evening of beautiful compositions, wit and charm from these two virtuosos.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

The Ravens and Lullabies Tour

Guitar Legend and the next generation of keyboard wizardry join forces!

In early 2012, Gordon contacted Oliver with a request for his keyboards services for an album idea he had. Within 24 hours the initial idea had changed beyond recognition and a full blown collaborative project was in the works. Oliver and Gordon have embarked upon this new chapter in their careers and their debut album 'Ravens & Lullabies' will be out in March 2013.

Featuring a variety of guitars and keyboards, which are their tools in trade, these shows will feature a selection of pieces from the new album as well as new arrangements of classic material from both of their retrospective careers.

One of the most innovative acoustic guitarists in the UK today, Gordon Giltrap has developed his own unique style, much copied, but never bettered. It is impossible not to be awestruck as he coaxes incredible melodies from his instruments; you almost suspect a second pair of hands. He is well known for his varied musical output and 'Heartsong' (a hit single from the album 'Perilous Journey' in 1977) is instantly recognized as the theme for the BBC TV's long running 'Holiday' programme.

Following ten solo albums in a variety of styles, Oliver Wakeman joined the legendary band 'YES' in 2008, touring with them up until mid-2011. A live CD and triple vinyl release, 'In The Present - Live from Lyon', was a fitting bookend to his period in the band. He also worked with the folk rock band 'The Strawbs' and appeared on their last studio album as well as their 40th Anniversary CD release. Appearing in venues across North and South America, Europe and the UK with YES, Strawbs and as a solo artist, he has become a well respected live performing musician to add to his other talents as composer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger and producer.

giltrap 4147


Gordon says "Working with Oliver is like a breath of fresh air. I knew of his reputation as a fine musician, and it made perfect sense for me to tap into his creative energy, not only to bring out certain elements of my musical gifts but to create something new and exciting, at the same time giving a nod in the direction of our respective Progressive Rock roots"

Oliver adds, "After working with YES, the chance of working with another legendary artist was an opportunity too good to miss. I am having a wonderfully productive time working with Gordon and feel we are creating something genuinely unique in our 'Raven's & Lullabies' project."

So, with their collective histories and talents to draw inspiration from, be prepared for an evening of beautiful compositions, wit and charm from these two virtuosos.


The Cramphorn Theatre (adjoining the Civic) is an intimate studio theatre seating up to 177 and presents a programme of smaller scale professional touring theatre, music productions, dance and lunchtime concerts, as well as being renowned for its innovative mixture of art house, world and mainstream film screenings.

The Civic and Cramphorn Theatres are located on Fairfield Road. There are three designated disabled parking bays and level access from all areas of the nearest car park (Fairfield Road car park, accessed via Coval Lane). During the week, until approximately 5pm, there is limited parking availability in Fairfield Road car park.  Please note: outside the Theatres in Fairfield Road there are double yellow lines. Alternative pay car parks, Townfield and West End, can be found near Chelmsford Station.  

By Car:
The theatres can only be accessed via Parkway (ring road).  Look for the turning into Rainsford Road, by the Methodist Church and County Hotel. Look for the brown signs around Chelmsford directing you to the theatres.

The theatre dates from 1787 and was radically altered in 1874 by Jethro T. Robinson (father-in-law of Frank Matcham, the famous and prolific theatre architect who along with his two protégés are responsible for more than building 200 theatres before 1915).

It is listed Grade II* and is sited within a conservation area.

The Theatre Royal, sited at the north east corner of Hawley Square, was part of the planned expansion of the small town and port of Margate during the mid Georgian period. It was built to vie as a facility for the entertainment of the upper classes with the Assembly Rooms, Cecil Square (1770s), and the Circulating Library, Hawley Square (1786), both now demolished.

The 1874 conversion marks the transition of the theatre from a Georgian boxed Playhouse into a Victorian Theatre. The stage was shortened and a second floor 'gallery' level added to the expanded auditorium.

As well as welcoming some of the greatest acting 'stars' of the Victorian era, the theatre was the site of the first drama school in the country, the School of Acting opened by Sarah Thorne in 1885, and attended by a young Edward Gordon Craig, who went on to become the undisputed father of modern theatre design and was arguably the most important theatre practitioner to come out of Britain since Shakespeare.

The Theatre Royal is operated by Thanet Leisureforce.

BOOKING INFORMATION
Please note that bookings for events at the Theatre Royal are made through the Winter Gardens Box Office. The Theatre Royal’s own Box Office will be open on show evenings for sales and collection of pre-paid tickets.

Tickets: Adults £16.00, Conc £14.00 Friends £13.00

Oliver adds, "After working with YES, the chance of working with another legendary artist was an opportunity too good to miss. I am having a wonderfully productive time working with Gordon and feel we are creating something genuinely unique in our 'Raven's & Lullabies' project."

So, with their collective histories and talents to draw inspiration from, be prepared for an evening of beautiful compositions, wit and charm from these two virtuosos.

UPDATE 22nd March Due to bad weather and heavy snow in the area the shows on 22nd and 23rd March have been postponed. Ticket holders should contact the school for further information.


The Ravens and Lullabies Tour

Guitar Legend and the next generation of keyboard wizardry join forces!

In early 2012, Gordon contacted Oliver with a request for his keyboards services for an album idea he had. Within 24 hours the initial idea had changed beyond recognition and a full blown collaborative project was in the works. Oliver and Gordon have embarked upon this new chapter in their careers and their debut album 'Ravens & Lullabies' will be out in March 2013.

Featuring a variety of guitars and keyboards, which are their tools in trade, these shows will feature a selection of pieces from the new album as well as new arrangements of classic material from both of their retrospective careers.

One of the most innovative acoustic guitarists in the UK today, Gordon Giltrap has developed his own unique style, much copied, but never bettered. It is impossible not to be awestruck as he coaxes incredible melodies from his instruments; you almost suspect a second pair of hands. He is well known for his varied musical output and 'Heartsong' (a hit single from the album 'Perilous Journey' in 1977) is instantly recognized as the theme for the BBC TV's long running 'Holiday' programme.

Following ten solo albums in a variety of styles, Oliver Wakeman joined the legendary band 'YES' in 2008, touring with them up until mid-2011. A live CD and triple vinyl release, 'In The Present - Live from Lyon', was a fitting bookend to his period in the band. He also worked with the folk rock band 'The Strawbs' and appeared on their last studio album as well as their 40th Anniversary CD release. Appearing in venues across North and South America, Europe and the UK with YES, Strawbs and as a solo artist, he has become a well respected live performing musician to add to his other talents as composer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger and producer.

Gordon says "Working with Oliver is like a breath of fresh air. I knew of his reputation as a fine musician, and it made perfect sense for me to tap into his creative energy, not only to bring out certain elements of my musical gifts but to create something new and exciting, at the same time giving a nod in the direction of our respective Progressive Rock roots"

Golden Valley Walking and Arts Festival St. Peter's Church

Peterchurch, Herefordshire HR2 ORT

Phone: 01432 355 434

Price: £12.00

Welcome to the Golden Valley Walking and Arts Festival.  

The Golden Valley lies between the Black Mountains of Wales, and the Wye Valley in the West of Herefordshire, England. A haven of peace and tranquility, the deeply rural and borderline location is steeped is history and boasts extraordinary beauty.

The Valley has its name thanks to the River Dore and the invading Normans who mistook the word D’or to mean Golden. The river was actually called Dwr, the Welsh word for water.

However the name remained and describes this area aptly with its glorious and unspoiled beauty.

The churches, castles and chapels of the area are central to its history and base the theme of all the walks organised for this event. From the former monastery Dore Abbey to the chapels and castles of Longtown, Kilpeck and Dorstone, we have strived to capture the very essence of the Valley and its countryside.

The dates for the walks fall over the Eastertide and this makes it a very special opportunity indeed. For example, St Peters at Peterchurch is one of a small number of churches housing art exhibitions from the Methodist Art Collection depicting The Passion of Christ and related work. It will also play host to a very special concert of music with world renowned guitarist Gordon Giltrap headlining some choral delights from local choirs.

We have chosen walks that both border and run right through the Valley. The aim is to give the best possible experience for the walker with views and vistas to take your breath away.

We are so looking forward to sharing this area of pure Gold to you and promise a memory that will only provide you reason to return.



Tickets: £12 by phone 01432 355 434 or email: goldenvalleywalkingfestival@live.com

Though The Plough will (hopefully!) celebrate 40 years as an arts centre in 2015, the building and the site on which it stands has a long and colourful history.

Originally the town house of a wealthy merchant in the late 1500s the building boasted the work of master craftsmen including wooden panelling, an ornate strapwork plaster ceiling and a fine large iron fireback dated 1618.

From 1750 to 1910 the house became The Plough Inn under licensees William and Judith Waldon. Other licensees included Mary Cock (1830 – 51) Sam and Mary Fry (1860 – 73) The Westlakes (1875 – 81) and Frank Gerrard (1897 – 1910).

The council minutes of 1875 record that “complaints have been made of the bad state of the closets and dung pit behind the Plough premises adjoining Potacre Street. Resolved that notice be given for the daily removal of the contents and the prevention of any nuisance therefrom”

By 1910 The Plough was in a parlous state and ceased to be a public house. The final indignity was a letter from Mr Parnell of The Globe Hotel next door dated July 1911: “Sirs, If you can allow me to put a cow in the Plough premises for a week I will undertake all risks. Resolved: permission granted”

The pub was demolished in 1912 with many of the fine Jacobean panels incorporated into the Council chamber in the town hall and other artefacts housed in the museum.

The building we see today was completed in 1913 as a Drill Hall for the use of the Territorials and Yeomanry. In July 1914 the new Territorial Drill Hall was granted a music and dancing license. By August war had been declared and the hall became the base for the departure of soldiers to the front.

As a base for the Devonshire Regiment and the North Devon Yeomanry the building was uncompromisingly spartan with a shooting range and storage for a large 25 pound field gun. When not being used to train soldiers it was used for badminton, childrens’ parties, grand parades, jumble sales, fancy dress, coffee mornings and dances especially during the second world war when the Americans were based nearby.

The army gave up the lease in 1968 but the Drill Hall continued to be used for Cavalier bonfire dances and Christmas parties, hunt dances and the May Ball.

In 1974 the Town Council sold the lease to T.A.R.A (Torridge Arts and Recreation) and following the efforts of many people including Dr Harry Cramp, Clifford Quicke and John Lane, The Plough Arts Centre opened on 11 April 1975 with a performance by Dame Edith Evans. One of many highlights from the 1970s was a three day visit by The Royal Shakespeare Company in 1978.

From 1992 – 2002 The Plough merged with Beaford Arts and benefited from substantial public and private grants and loans for major refurbishment and alterations to the building. These improvements enhanced the facilities, including modernisation of the theatre/cinema and film projection facilities, a new gallery space, workshop and dance studio, storage facilities, as well as improvements to the bar/café/foyer on the ground floor.

Following a period of uncertainty and a threat of closure, in 2002 The Plough was re-established as a new independent company and charity. The strength of feeling locally plus the huge support and financial commitment from the local community was instrumental in making sure the Plough survived.

Since 2002 the organic growth of The Plough has been strong under the leadership of a new Council of Management, director, loyal members of staff, volunteers and audiences. Public funding has been replaced by new lines of income generated from Business Supporters, fundraising events, individual donations, legacies, gift aid and successful funding bids for arts projects. In 2009 over 65,000 people entered The Plough for all purposes. Turnover, including catering increased from £85,000 in 2001/2 to £460,000 in 2008/9.

The trend of dramatically increased audience numbers, turnover, new revenue streams and arts activities has compensated for the overall decline in public core funding. Today, The Plough has achieved a plateau in terms of the levels of activity possible within the existing building and is looking to expand through partnerships with other organisations and through increased arts outreach provision.

Having achieved over 90% financial self sufficiency, The Plough Arts Centre is proud to have a strong foundation from which it can look forward positively to a dynamic and creative future. Responsive locally and valued across the region, The Plough aims to make a positive impact on the lives of all who come into contact with its arts programme.

Since 1975 (and probably 1575!) many thousands of performers, artists, workshop leaders, speakers and teachers have shared their work at The Plough. Artists of all ages, all artforms, from every continent have visited Great Torrington to entertain and inspire Plough audiences and participants.

Arnold LaneGedling Nottingham NG4 4BE

Phone: 07905 675 849



The church has a spacious Early English chancel built c1230 and a five-bay nave with North and South aisles built about 1260 in an early Decorated style. The spire was added in 1300-1320 and is the second highest in Nottinghamshire at 180 feet. The location of the tower at the west end of the north aisle provides a west front to the Nave. A clerestory was added in the fifteenth century.

The building was extensively restored in 1872 when five hundred seats were installed to cope with the rapidly rising population of Carlton and Netherfield which have since been made into separate parishes. A steep roof replaced a flat lead one on the chancel at the same time.

Guitar Legend and the next generation of keyboard wizardry join forces!

In early 2012, Gordon contacted Oliver with a request for his keyboards services for an album idea he had. Within 24 hours the initial idea had changed beyond recognition and a full blown collaborative project was in the works. Oliver and Gordon have embarked upon this new chapter in their careers and their debut album 'Ravens & Lullabies' will be out in March 2013.

Featuring a variety of guitars and keyboards, which are their tools in trade, these shows will feature a selection of pieces from the new album as well as new arrangements of classic material from both of their retrospective careers.

One of the most innovative acoustic guitarists in the UK today, Gordon Giltrap has developed his own unique style, much copied, but never bettered. It is impossible not to be awestruck as he coaxes incredible melodies from his instruments; you almost suspect a second pair of hands. He is well known for his varied musical output and 'Heartsong' (a hit single from the album 'Perilous Journey' in 1977) is instantly recognized as the theme for the BBC TV's long running 'Holiday' programme.

Following ten solo albums in a variety of styles, Oliver Wakeman joined the legendary band 'YES' in 2008, touring with them up until mid-2011. A live CD and triple vinyl release, 'In The Present - Live from Lyon', was a fitting bookend to his period in the band. He also worked with the folk rock band 'The Strawbs' and appeared on their last studio album as well as their 40th Anniversary CD release. Appearing in venues across North and South America, Europe and the UK with YES, Strawbs and as a solo artist, he has become a well respected live performing musician to add to his other talents as composer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger and producer.

giltrap 3120


Gordon says "Working with Oliver is like a breath of fresh air. I knew of his reputation as a fine musician, and it made perfect sense for me to tap into his creative energy, not only to bring out certain elements of my musical gifts but to create something new and exciting, at the same time giving a nod in the direction of our respective Progressive Rock roots"

Oliver adds, "After working with YES, the chance of working with another legendary artist was an opportunity too good to miss. I am having a wonderfully productive time working with Gordon and feel we are creating something genuinely unique in our 'Raven's & Lullabies' project."

So, with their collective histories and talents to draw inspiration from, be prepared for an evening of beautiful compositions, wit and charm from these two virtuosos.


Update Oct 2012

Formerly Ashover Concerts, we moved to our new venue and changed our name to Peak Concerts in September 2012.

Venue changed from Ashover Parish Hall to The Joseph Whitworth Centre, Darley Dale

The new venue has the advantage of a recently restored larger room in a more visible location within easy reach of Matlock, Bakewell and the surrounding areas where many of our existing audience travel from.

giltrap 4213

The magnificent Grade II* listed building in which the Landmark is housed was formerly the Church of St Alban the Martyr.

The construction of the church was completed in 1889. The church was used for worship until the early 1970s, being informally known as the ‘Cathedral of the Thames Valley’ in recognition of its towering presence.

The church, originally designed for a congregation of 1200, became redundant and was neglected for many years.

One of the key features of the former church is its amazing pulpit. With its ornate base and soaring canopy, the pulpit is a magnificent piece of work of outstanding proportions and of a unique design, regarded by English Heritage to be a particular treasure of the building.

The pulpit’s setting was a special characteristic of St Alban’s. It is located half way down the nave - inspired, we believe, by similar placements in French churches. Anyone preaching from our pulpit would have been inaudible to those in the front half of the congregation who would have had to turn their chairs round for the sermon - and back again afterwards!!

However a passionate campaign by local people and others interested to preserve Victorian architecture meant that the building was rescued to become the home of a new charitable art centre charged with mounting a dynamic and varied arts programme for the benefit of the local community and beyond.

Most people who are familiar with the Guildhall as a venue for large scale concerts will be pleasantly surprised to learn that they would now also be able to attend smaller concerts while enjoying a lovely meal.   “The results of a recent audience survey clearly show the need for quality live music outside of the pop genre and we believe that the Live Lounge series will meet the needs of these customers,” says Portsmouth Cultural Trust CEO, Andy Grays.  He has in the past lead similar initiatives at other venues with great success and is looking forward to introducing the concept to the people of Portsmouth.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

The Heron Theatre

Stanley RoadBeetham Milnthorpe, Cumbria LA7 7AS

Phone: 01539 564 283

Website: https://www.theherontheatre.com/

The Heron Theatre is a small, 80 seat, theatre housed in a listed building, which was originally one of the old two-room Grammar Schools of the 18th century. The village of Beetham is just off the A6, between Carnforth and Milnthorpe, on the southern fringes of the Lake District.

The theatre traces its origins to 1948, when a local headmaster formed an ambitious amateur dramatic group in South Westmorland. It flourished through the years, mainly through the performance of plays, together with film shows and literary events. From 1966 the Society developed its former rehearsal and storage space and in 1985 it was able to purchase the freehold of the old grammar school in Beetham. With the help of a substantial grant from the Lottery, it improved its facilities and developed the listed building into a compact and attractive studio theatre.

A particular feature alongside the entrance is The Heron Sculpture



Doors Open 45 minutes before the performance

Drinks may be taken to your seat and bar is open during any interval and after the show.

The birth of The Rondo Theatre in 1989 sprang from the extraordinary generosity of Doreen and Wilf Williams. Having bought the building from St Saviours Church in 1976 to turn it into a concert venue and centre for the local community, they gifted the freehold to the newly formed charity, The Rondo Trust. Work started on a new bar, raked seating and a control room above the auditorium. In 1996 the theatre received a major lottery and sports and arts grant that enabled the building to be extended to provide dressing rooms, a backstage room, offices and a foyer at the front of the building. In 2003 the theatre received a second lottery grant to install state of the art lighting equipment.

Joining them in this exclusive one-off event will be two old friends of the festival, Paul Manzi (Arena, Oliver Wakeman Band - vocals) and Johanne James (Threshold - drums) plus a bassist to be named.

Gordon will be best known to Prog fans for his trio rock albums in the late 70s, and for his hit single "Heartsong" while Oliver's eclectic career has involved several solo albums, two albums with Clive Nolan, appearances with The Strawbs and Bob Catley and an eventful three and a half years in YES.

Although the two of them have been touring extensively as a duo, this will be Gordon's first full electric performance for over 30 years, while Oliver will be playing his first major concert with a full band since his departure from YES in 2011. The set will revolve around a performance of their superb album "Ravens and Lullabies" released earlier this year on Esoteric Antenna, which mixes intimate acoustic performances with full-blown Prog, but will also contain some pieces from both men's back catalogue.

Festival co-promoter Stephen Lambe says:

"This is a huge coup for the festival and it's thrilling that we have been able to persuade Gordon and Oliver to bring the "Ravens and Lullabies" band together and play this amazing and unique concert just for us. Little did I know when I saw the Gordon Giltrap band in 1979, or indeed Oliver with Yes in 2009 that I'd end up welcoming them onto the Summers End Stage in 2013."

2007 saw the 25th anniversary of the Borough Hall being reopened as Stafford Gatehouse Theatre, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester. The Borough Hall was originally opened on 20 June 1877 and the building once housed Stafford Borough Council.

In the building's early days, the Borough Council offices, the library and the Wragge Museum occupied the ground floor and on the first floor was a large Assembly Hall with a stage, which was used for meetings, dances, concerts and plays. Building work began to convert the venue into a theatre when the Borough Offices were re-housed in the Civic Centre, and so the Gatehouse was born in 1982.

Since opening, the venue has experienced great success, both with touring professional shows and amateur productions. As a theatre venue, the old Borough Hall was an active supporter and promoter of amateur dramatics and most of the successful theatre groups like Stafford Players and the Operatic Society were formed in this environment. These partnerships have continued to thrive and the Gatehouse prides itself on achieving the perfect balance between meeting the needs of the companies and societies which use the building and the ever present need to both increase its financial viability whilst ensuring it continues to offer high quality productions to Stafford borough residents.

The recent refurbishment of The Capitol is just one chapter in a long history of entertainment and the arts in Horsham.

The site of the current Capitol was originally an ABC Cinema. First opened in 1936 as a one screen with a 900 seat capacity, it was then just one of many cinemas in Horsham.

The original Capitol theatre (after which, the new arts centre is named) was actually situated a few minutes walk away on the site that is now Marks and Spencer. With its closure in 1983, the council purchased the ABC on North Street and developed it into the Horsham Arts Centre. This opened its doors to the public Christmas 1984.

After nearly 20 years, Horsham Arts Centre closed its doors in January 2002 and so marked the beginning of what was arguably the most ambitious and impressive change to the town's key entertainment centre. A massive 6million refurbishment was completed this September 2003 and the result is a stunning arts complex that melds the elegant art-deco features of the original ABC with an innovative and modern design for the 21st Century. After being closed for just 20 months, the exciting new venue offers unrivalled all round facilities including a theatre, 2 cinemas, studio, gallery space and stylish caf and lounge bar.

Website: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/

Southbank Centre occupies a 21-acre site in the midst of London’s vibrant cultural quarter on the South Bank of the Thames. Southbank Centre includes Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, the Hayward Gallery, and the Saison Poetry Library. As well as these venues, there are restaurants, cafes, bars and shops to enjoy.



To celebrate one of the most influential guitarists of all time, Bert Jansch, a host of special guests unite for a unique show.

Guests include original members of Pentangle Jacqui McShee and Danny Thompson. Joining them will be Ralph McTell, Martin Simpson, Bernard Butler, Martin Carthy, Paul Wassif, Lisa Knapp, Gordon Giltrap and more. They will perform music played, written and inspired by Bert in tribute to his influence on their own music.

Bert Jansch's songs and groundbreaking musicianship made a lasting impression on many music legends, including Neil Young, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon and Johnny Marr. This impact ripples through successive generations of musicians including Bernard Butler, Beth Orton, Fleet Foxes, Devendra Banhart and Pete Doherty.

Bert was included in Rolling Stone magazine's top 100 guitarists of all time, as well as winning countless awards and receiving an honorary Doctorate of Music from Napier University in his native Edinburgh.

Classic Rock Society present: GORDON GILTRAP, OLIVER WAKEMAN & PAUL MANZI


Concerts are regularly organised by the CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY, featuring some of the best Rock & Prog artists around.

Our stated core aim is, as it ever was, to foster the growth and development of ‘grass roots’ progressive and general ‘classic’ rock by bringing together like-minded individuals and giving bands who may struggle for gigs a platform to play. These smaller shows are to some extent subsidised by larger profile bands who also play for the Society. As well as our two regular venues near Rotherham (Montgomery Hall in Wath-Upon-Dearne and the Wesley Centre in Maltby), we also regularly use a venue in St Helens (the Citadel), Norwich (Brickmakers), and occasionally the Picturedome in Holmfirth. We are always looking for ways to expand and give the Society a more ‘national’ and less parochial flavour.

Our key event of the year is our ‘Best Of The Year’ awards, at our ‘home venue’ Montgomery Hall, Wath-Upon-Dearne (near Rotherham, UK).  This is always well attended by bands and fans alike, with a guest presenter each year – the 2013 event featured ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris, of Old Grey Whistle Test fame, while recent events have featured Steve Hackett, John Wetton, Sonja Kristina, Oliver Wakeman and Gordon Giltrap.

This unique gig will feature Gordon and Oliver – such a hit last year as a duo – with singer Paul Manzi, playing songs from the Ravens and Lullabies album and also songs from both their careers. This should be another great night – and very much a one off!

Artist: Gordon Giltrap, Oliver Wakeman & Paul Manzi
Date: Saturday 7th December 2013

Website: https://www.chippingnortontheatre.com

This fabulous building began life as a Salvation Army Citadel, with the first stones, now visible in our auditorium, being laid in 1888. In strange quirk of fate, its designers and engineers were those behind many Victorian Music Halls, leaving it perfectly proportioned for its future theatrical life. It continued for some years as a furniture warehouse, before being discovered by two Royal Shakespeare Company actors, Tamara and John Malcolm in 1968. In 1973, fundraising for the new Theatre began in earnest, and the year was crowned with The Theatre’s first panto, Beauty and the Beast, staged in the town hall. The Theatre began as a true community resource, with residents of Chipping Norton each asked for £1 towards the conversion.

The Theatre was opened in 1975 by Tom Baker, the Dr Who of the time, beginning with a light programme including films and lunchtime Jazz concerts. The cottage adjoining the Citadel was purchased and converted to become the bar and gallery. The Theatre continued to grow and flourish, expanding its programme and reputation, and purchasing, in 1990, the building in Goddards Lane that now serves as green room, offices and rehearsal room.

1996 saw a major refurbishment, funded in part by the Arts Council, improving many aspects of the building, particularly the stage and wing space. Graham Rust, one of Europe’s finest muralists, was commissioned to produce the murals now visible in the bar. Not long after receiving a well deserved MBE for her services to The Theatre, Tamara Malcolm passed on the mantle of Artistic Director to Caroline Sharman.

The Theatre has had a strong reputation over the years for producing its own creative work, and notable performances of Yerma, Don Giovanni, Taste and Huck live in the minds of our audiences. These stand alongside perhaps our greatest claim to fame, the world-renowned traditional family pantomime, which draws on a long history of traditional values, top-notch creative teams, and original, daring twists to make it an irreplaceable part of countless family Christmases.

In 2008, John Terry took over from Caroline as Artistic Director, overseeing a period of further growth and professionalization, and collecting on behalf of The Theatre the 2009/10 TMA Stage Newspaper Award for Outstanding Contribution to Regional Theatre. The Theatre now stands as a rare example of a successful rural receiving and producing theatre, funded and supported almost entirely by local people, local councils and local businesses.

The New Medway Centre was built to replace the old prefabricated Medway Centre that had to be demolished in 1992. After years of fundraising, many meetings to gain planning permission and a £148,000 grant from the Rural Development Commission, work began by a team of local volunteers, mainly pensioners, to build the new Centre in February 1998.

Eighteen months and thousands of hours of voluntary labour later, the Centre was officially opened by the Duchess of Devonshire on the 17th July 1999.

For the first time in many years, Bakewell at last had a purpose-built centre for the community. The Centre is owned and managed by it's members and volunteers and employs an Administrator.

The Centre relies on volunteer support to assist with the management, maintenance and fundraising.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Oliver Wakeman & Gordon Giltrap's Ravens and Lullabies Band show Farncombe Music Club

St.John's Church, St.John's StreetFarncombe GU7 3EH

Phone: 01483 421 520

Price: £16.00

Purchase Tickets: click here

Website: https://www.julianlewrymusic.com/

Featuring:
Gordon Giltrap - guitars
Oliver Wakeman (ex Yes) - keyboards / vocals
Paul Manzi (Arena / Oliver Wakeman Band) - lead vocals
Steve Anderson (Threshold) - bass / vocals
Johanne James (Threshold) - drums
Nick Kendall (Rock of Ages) - guitar / vocals

Following the success of their "Ravens and Lullabies" album and a one-off electric appearance at the Summers End Festival, Lydney in October 2013, Gordon and Oliver return for a short full-band tour in April 2014.

"Ravens" marks a return to electric music for legendary guitarist Gordon Giltrap whose 40 year career spans acoustic virtuosity and three crucial progressive rock albums in the 1970s, "Visionary", "Perilous Journey" and "Fear of the Dark". His 1978 hit single "Heartsong" was used as the theme music for the BBC "Holiday" programme for many years.

Following a successful solo career, Oliver Wakeman went on to become a member of The Strawbs and then Yes, where he played in large venues all over the world. Oliver and Gordon have been playing to sold out venues all over the country as a duo.

The rest of the band is something of a who's who of Progressive Rock, including Paul Manzi, currently singer in Arena, Johanne James and Steve Anderson, currently to be found as the rhythm section of Prog Metallers Threshold, and the brilliant Nick Kendall, fresh from "Rock of Ages" in the West End.

Phone: 023 8063 2601

Price: £15.00

Website: https://www.southamptoncellar.com

Update 3rd April - Sadly this concert has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances

Featuring:
Gordon Giltrap - guitars
Oliver Wakeman (ex Yes) - keyboards / vocals
Paul Manzi (Arena / Oliver Wakeman Band) - lead vocals
Steve Anderson (Threshold) - bass / vocals
Johanne James (Threshold) - drums
Nick Kendall (Rock of Ages) - guitar / vocals

Following the success of their "Ravens and Lullabies" album and a one-off electric appearance at the Summers End Festival, Lydney in October 2013, Gordon and Oliver return for a short full-band tour in April 2014.

"Ravens" marks a return to electric music for legendary guitarist Gordon Giltrap whose 40 year career spans acoustic virtuosity and three crucial progressive rock albums in the 1970s, "Visionary", "Perilous Journey" and "Fear of the Dark". His 1978 hit single "Heartsong" was used as the theme music for the BBC "Holiday" programme for many years.

Following a successful solo career, Oliver Wakeman went on to become a member of The Strawbs and then Yes, where he played in large venues all over the world. Oliver and Gordon have been playing to sold out venues all over the country as a duo.

The rest of the band is something of a who's who of Progressive Rock, including Paul Manzi, currently singer in Arena, Johanne James and Steve Anderson, currently to be found as the rhythm section of Prog Metallers Threshold, and the brilliant Nick Kendall, fresh from "Rock of Ages" in the West End.

This short series of gigs are unlikely to be repeated so are not to be missed.

"Ravens" marks a return to electric music for legendary guitarist Gordon Giltrap whose 40 year career spans acoustic virtuosity and three crucial progressive rock albums in the 1970s, "Visionary", "Perilous Journey" and "Fear of the Dark".  His 1978 hit single "Heartsong" was used as the theme music for the BBC "Holiday" programme for many years.

This short series of gigs are unlikely to be repeated so are not to be missed.

The Robin 2 in Bilston is an excellent live music venue with a capacity of 700, and draws appreciative crowds to see some unexpected big names, local bands and tribute acts.  At the front of the club, Noddy's Bar - named after the Slade frontman - is an excellent place to meet for a drink before the gig.  The Robin provides a refreshing alternative for those who like to listen to good live music at a reasonable price.  

The Robin 2 is unique in the fact that it is also a hotel.  The Robin 2 hotel has been inundated with bookings since it's opening in May 2008. The 500,000 pounds hotel is aimed at giving concert-goers the chance to enjoy a drink and have a bed nearby for convenience.  The old building next to the Mount Pleasant music venue was gutted and transformed into the new attraction as part of a 12 week renovation project. The hotel was built during celebrations to mark the 10th anniversary of the music venue. Each of the eight sound-proofed rooms are fitted out with en-suite bathroom, tea and coffee machines and digital televisions.

Advance Ticket Price: CRS members £12, non members £15.00
Door Price: £17.00

Originally a hotel developed in the 1830's, The Bedford has been the central community hub of Balham for its entire existence. In the late sixties and seventies it was a spit and sawdust live music venue serving as a springboard for early gigs by acts including The Clash and U2.

It was also famously used as the courtroom for the unsolved murder case of Charles Bravo, upstairs, in what was then the billiard hall, which is now the Ballroom.

Parking is easy at The Bedford, we are opposite Sainsburys car park and there are plenty of pay and display bays along Fernlea Road from Monday to Saturday until 5.30pm, after which parking is free.

Please note that Fernlea road is one way, offering no access from Bedford Hill. Instead, turn into Rossiter Road and then the first right, bringing you into Fernlea Road.

Mr Kyps Live Music Venue has been a cornerstone of live music culture in Bournemouth and Poole since 2002, and has since become a regular fixture on the itinerary of national and international touring bands.

Since a major refurb on the Grade II Listed building in 2008, we now have one of the most impressive rooms of its size on the south coast, and our aim is to create a sound and atmosphere that is perfect for the appreciation of live music.

Although initially the players were not certain that the mix of nylon and steel-strung guitars would blend sufficiently well, rehearsals and some very successful concerts - including The Purcell Room at London's South Bank Centre - helped to convince them that not only would it work well but that it was a partnership to which both musicians would be happy to devote a major amount of time.

The duo has been hailed as one of the most exciting guitar partnerships to emerge in recent years.

Gordon Giltrap and Raymond Burley (Double Vision) St James Arts Centre

College Street, St Peter PortGuernsey, Channel Islands

Phone: 01481 711361

Website: https://www.stjames.gg/

This exciting partnership between Gordon Giltrap and Raymond Burley allows both artists to experiment and continue to bring new dimensions to their performances.

Gordon and Raymond are equally well respected; each has been working in their chosen fields for nigh on forty years. Since their chance meeting at a national gathering of guitar teachers in 2001, the obvious chemistry between these two virtuosos has flourished. They immediately broke down any preconceived ideas about the collaboration between a classical musician and a rock musician.

Gordon is an outstanding and innovative steel string acoustic guitar player and composer, who has developed his own unique style of playing. With nearly 40 years in the music business, he has produced among other things, an impressive catalogue of music for TV. This includes the hit single "Heartsong" which was the theme for the BBC's Holiday Programme for many years, and was nominated for a prestigious Ivor Novello award. He was a principal player in Cliff Richard's musical "Heathcliff" writing two pieces for the show and appearing nightly as the Troubadour, a role which triggered a CD by the same name.

Raymond is a highly skilled classical guitarist who also performs solo, as part of the Rodrigo Guitar Trio, and has worked with many of the UK's finest orchestras. He has numerous recordings and radio appearances to his credit, and a track record of successful creative partnerships with some of the most respected names in the world of classical music. He has toured widely in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada.

Double Vision brings a fusion of these two genres. The sound of nylon strings combined with steel strings creates a sound quite like no other. With Raymond's classically inspired arrangements the music feels new and refreshing, taking Gordon's compositions to new heights.

The duo released their first CD "Double Vision" in 2005 which received glowing reviews from the likes of Classical Guitar Magazine.

"Wonderfully crafted work .... a recording to savour" Steve Marsh - Dec 2005


It was at a public meeting on 30 October 1815 that Admiral Sir James Saumarez, later Lord de Saumarez, conceived the idea of building St James.
The church was to provide a place of worship for the British garrison in Guernsey , where services could be held in English. At that time, services in the Town Church were held in French. The building was completed in 1818.

After a full life, which included its use as the Elizabeth College chapel for many years, the building finally became redundant in 1970 and fell into partial decay.

In 1981 The Friends of St James association was formed to achieve St James’ restoration and then to administer the building as a concert and assembly hall. The States agreed to pay for this restoration in 1983 and the building was officially re-opened on 5 July 1985 by HRH the Duke of Kent.
Following intense fund raising the single storey tin-roofed annexe, built during the 1930’s, was demolished and in 2002 the three storey Dorey Centre comprising meeting rooms, café and administration offices, was completed.

St James now provides the island with unique and versatile venue for concerts and events covering a broad range of tastes for both residents and visitors as well as the business community.

Gordon Giltrap and Raymond Burley (Double Vision) Island Hall

Sark, Channel Islands
This exciting partnership between Gordon Giltrap and Raymond Burley allows both artists to experiment and continue to bring new dimensions to their performances.

Gordon and Raymond are equally well respected; each has been working in their chosen fields for nigh on forty years. Since their chance meeting at a national gathering of guitar teachers in 2001, the obvious chemistry between these two virtuosos has flourished. They immediately broke down any preconceived ideas about the collaboration between a classical musician and a rock musician.

Gordon is an outstanding and innovative steel string acoustic guitar player and composer, who has developed his own unique style of playing. With nearly 40 years in the music business, he has produced among other things, an impressive catalogue of music for TV. This includes the hit single "Heartsong" which was the theme for the BBC's Holiday Programme for many years, and was nominated for a prestigious Ivor Novello award. He was a principal player in Cliff Richard's musical "Heathcliff" writing two pieces for the show and appearing nightly as the Troubadour, a role which triggered a CD by the same name.

Raymond is a highly skilled classical guitarist who also performs solo, as part of the Rodrigo Guitar Trio, and has worked with many of the UK's finest orchestras. He has numerous recordings and radio appearances to his credit, and a track record of successful creative partnerships with some of the most respected names in the world of classical music. He has toured widely in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada.

"Wonderfully crafted work .... a recording to savour" Steve Marsh - Dec 2005

The island of Sark is arguably the least known and least visited of the Channel Islands. It is a romantic hideaway from the pressures of the modern world, and one of its charms is the lack of tourist infrastructure. The fact that the only means of transport is by foot, bicycle, tractor or horse and carriage, only serve to add to its overall appeal. Contrast it with the urban living on mainland Britain and it is a formula that will captivate anyone who sets foot on these shores. The Island was Europe's last sole surviving feudal state; with its constitution dating back to the Elizabethan period. The Island is three and a half miles in length and a mile and a half wide and actually comprises of two islands, Big Sark and Little Sark, which are joined by the thin isthmus "La Coupee". During the World War II period, Sark was occupied by the Germans and whilst under their command enhancements were made to the island itself, including some well engineered tunnels, which, to this day can be seen.. Sark has amazing topography with an average land height of only 250 feet above sea level. The flora can be dazzling in its diversity with spring showing off a host of blue and yellow flowers. Set against the secluded sandy beaches, huge cliffs, coves and caves, this is a channel destination without peers. For the Visitor there is a wide range of accommodation available, from award-winning hotels and restaurants, to self-catering and campsites.

This summer the Great British Beer Festival (GBBF) will once again return to London’s magnificent Olympia exhibition centre.

Ideally placed in the centre of London, and easily accessible by public transport, it is the perfect setting for the UK’s biggest beer festival. During the festival's duration Olympia will host over 55,000 thirsty drinkers across two halls; the larger, and aptly named, ‘Olympia Grand’ - and the slightly smaller, but equally impressive, ‘Olympia National’.

Each hall will have a number of bars serving real ale from hundreds of breweries of all shapes and sizes across the UK, as well as brewery bars where you can try both well-known brews and limited edition beers from some of the UK’s biggest and best real ale brewers.

As well as that there’ll be some fantastic international draught and bottled beers from the likes of Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the always hugely popular American Cask bar.

Both halls will also have expanded seating areas in 2014, plus some fantastic food and merchandise stalls hand-picked for the festival.

GBBF tickets are now on sale, with single tickets for each full day and 'season tickets' available for purchase - all at cheaper rates than paying on the door. CAMRA Members receive an additional discount on all tickets.

More information on entertainment will be available on the GBBF website soon

Off the Tracks Summer Festival Donnington Park Farmhouse

Nr. Castle Donington DE74 2RN

Purchase Tickets: click here

Website: https://www.offthetracks.co.uk

Gordon's performance time to be confirmed.

Donington Park Farmhouse is a wonderful, historic venue. The 17th century farm and barns are surrounded by stunning rural views that lift the heart and soothe the soul.

With four 'stages' plus impromtu music in the bars you're sure to find sounds to please your ears.

As well as being entertained in fine style by wonderful musicians, you'll be quaffing at a real ale bar and sampling great food. You'll be staying at a proper campsite with well-maintained pitches, hook-ups and hard-standing, real showers and toilets and a place to do your washing up. We don't think there's a lovelier spot to camp.

Wild deer have been at Donington Park for almost a thousand years. The farm is Site of Special Scientific Interest. They’re committed to conserving the natural habitats of the park; a heritage which includes not only the deer but also very rare species of insect life which live in the park’s ancient oak trees.

Donington Park Farmhouse works with Natural England in the preservation of the insect and tree species and are advised by the British Deer Society on the conservation of the red and fallow deer herds.

Donington Park Farmhouse holds a Green Footprints business award 2013. They are environmentally conscious in all that they do and committed to enhancing their green credentials and sustainability.

They grow their own food where they can, and source locally where they can’t. They’re dedicated to their role as stewards of the countryside and the wildlife that surrounds them. And it shows.
We think you'll love it.

Day tickets can be bought on the gate only and are subject to availability. You’re really better to book in advance. We’d hate you to miss out!

SOLD OUT The Heron Theatre

Stanley RoadBeetham Milnthorpe, Cumbria LA7 7AS

Phone: 01539 564 283

Website: https://www.theherontheatre.com/

The Heron Theatre is a small, 80 seat, theatre housed in a listed building, which was originally one of the old two-room Grammar Schools of the 18th century. The village of Beetham is just off the A6, between Carnforth and Milnthorpe, on the southern fringes of the Lake District.

The theatre traces its origins to 1948, when a local headmaster formed an ambitious amateur dramatic group in South Westmorland. It flourished through the years, mainly through the performance of plays, together with film shows and literary events. From 1966 the Society developed its former rehearsal and storage space and in 1985 it was able to purchase the freehold of the old grammar school in Beetham. With the help of a substantial grant from the Lottery, it improved its facilities and developed the listed building into a compact and attractive studio theatre.

A particular feature alongside the entrance is The Heron Sculpture

Gordon Giltrap & Clive Carroll + surprise special guest The Greystones CANCELLED

Greystone RoadSheffield S11 7BS

Phone: 0114 266 5599

Website: https://www.mygreystones.co.uk/

The Greystones, a welcoming, traditional community pub where people of all ages can enjoy a great range of drinks in comfortable surroundings.

Beer, music, Arts, Community.

Our staff offer excellent customer service and product knowledge.

Cask ales from Thornbridge’s award winning range are on tap, alongside quality lagers and an extensive variety of bottled beers specially selected by our brewers.

Wines by John Mitchells, Sheffield’s premier wine shop and Coffee by Sheffield roaster Pollards are also available.

A little about Clive:

English guitar virtuoso and composer Clive Carroll has a vast musical palette and a sweeping creative vision. Adept at banjo, flattop, and nylon-string guitar, and equally at home playing fingerstyle or wielding a flatpick, Carroll creates music that defies categorization. In the same concert, he’ll perform lute tunes from the 1500s and generate soundscapes with his Ralph Bown OM and Boss RC-20 Loop Station.

Carroll got his first break as a solo guitarist when John Renbourn, the legendary British fingerpicker and cofounder of Pentangle, took him on tour for two years and introduced him to fans of acoustic and traditional music across Europe and the US. Soon after, Tommy Emmanuel brought Carroll Down Under for a joint tour. (YouTube videos of Emmanuel and Carroll playing onstage together are must-see items.)

Carroll’s latest album, Life in Colour points the way for a new generation of acoustic guitarists—sonic nomads who follow their muse wherever it leads, regardless of genre or era. It’s not easy to artfully mix altered tunings, renaissance and classical harmony, Delta blues, odd-meter riffage, body percussion, and even jazz manouche, but Carroll makes it sound natural and effortless.

Gordon and Clive have previously played together as part of 4 Parts Guitar but tonight is a special event - a duo concert, and there will be a surprise special guest too!!

Eastgate StreetStafford ST16 2LT

2007 saw the 25th anniversary of the Borough Hall being reopened as Stafford Gatehouse Theatre, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester. The Borough Hall was originally opened on 20 June 1877 and the building once housed Stafford Borough Council.

In the building's early days, the Borough Council offices, the library and the Wragge Museum occupied the ground floor and on the first floor was a large Assembly Hall with a stage, which was used for meetings, dances, concerts and plays. Building work began to convert the venue into a theatre when the Borough Offices were re-housed in the Civic Centre, and so the Gatehouse was born in 1982.

Since opening, the venue has experienced great success, both with touring professional shows and amateur productions. As a theatre venue, the old Borough Hall was an active supporter and promoter of amateur dramatics and most of the successful theatre groups like Stafford Players and the Operatic Society were formed in this environment. These partnerships have continued to thrive and the Gatehouse prides itself on achieving the perfect balance between meeting the needs of the companies and societies which use the building and the ever present need to both increase its financial viability whilst ensuring it continues to offer high quality productions to Stafford borough residents.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

The Village Hall is a lovely and very characterful Victorian building.  Due to its age it does require a lot of ongoing maintenance.  Therefore a lot of volunteer effort from members of the community, as well as paid-for work by professionals, suppliers and tradesmen, is required.  

The Hall was known as Chafecote prior to being ceded to the community in 1947 by its then owner Mr Tom Burns.  It only subsequently became known as the Rous Lench Village Hall.  

When you reach the triangular village green you should look for the red-brick building shown on this page, noting that the vine climbing up the bricks may have been cut away. The entrance is to the right of the hedge.

The Assembly is a stunning, art-deco, multi-function venue in the heart of Leamington Spa. It opened its doors in the summer of 2008 after a multi-million pound redevelopment designed by Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen. The venue won the highly coveted Music Week Award for ‘Best Live Music Venue’ in 2010 after winning the award for ‘Best Live Entertainment Venue’ at the 2009 Godiva Awards.

Built in 1926, the venue was originally named The Bath Assembly Hall. Its Art-Deco interior, indicative of the period, was the setting for balls and dances where the Foxtrot, Waltz and Quickstep were the moves of the moment. It was later named The Palais de Danse where local dancer, Robert Creelman, was master of ceremonies and music was provided by resident players, The Jack Southern Band. During this time, the venue was known for its own dance step; The Palais Glide and the building continued to host dances throughout the 30s and 40s when it was popular with locally-based American servicemen. Renamed again in 1952 as The Embassy Ballroom (later to inspire the Embassy Days events!), it continued to hold dances and local events until it became a bingo hall.

Now, after a period of closure, the 1000 capacity (or 400 seated) main hall, along with all of its original decorative and architectural features, has been meticulously renovated to reveal the original beauty of the room. In contrast to the work done to exhibit the history of the building, a brand new state of the art PA and lighting rig has been installed and a new stage which offers excellent sightlines throughout the venue. The combination of a sense of history and the traditional with the need for the comfort and practicality, achieved by using cutting edge technology, is why The Assembly has become the venue of choice for artists and audiences alike. This, alongside the helpful, friendly bar staff and security team, all help to provide a welcoming and safe environment to watch a show.

Once in the venue, there is a choice of 3 bars; the main bar area has comfortable, relaxed seating and is found beyond soundproofed doors, for those who want to escape briefly! Another bar is positioned conveniently to the rear of the main hall. With a seating area providing a view of the stage, this is the ideal spot to relax while still taking in the atmosphere. The third bar provides an intimate space from the balcony to grab a drink and watch the shows from above for the optimum view of the stage and audience.

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Guest of Rick Wakeman Candlelit concert  Lancaster Priory Church

Purchase Tickets: click here

Rick Wakeman and Lancaster Priory Choir

Keyboard legend Rick Wakeman will perform at Lancaster’s historic Priory as part of the city’s music festival.


Rick, who is best known for being the former keyboardist in the progressive rock band YES, will play at two candlelit concerts in October.

He will be accompanied by the Lancaster Priory Choir and supported by the highly-acclaimed guitarist Gordon Giltrap on October 16-17.

Performing on grand piano and the Priory organ, Rick will play pieces from his long and illustrious career, from his early recordings with Cat Stevens and David Bowie to his bestselling solo albums.

Rick said: “I do love concerts that are different, and having the opportunity to perform at the Priory with such a wonderful choir and a great big organ just puts a huge smile on my face.”

Staging the event has not been without its problems, not least because of the layout of the Priory and the number of seats with views that are restricted.

Organiser Stuart Marshall said: “Obviously beautiful medieval churches such as the Priory were not built with concerts in mind, but we’re hoping to turn this problem into a positive outcome by using the concerts as a way of highlighting the difficulties experienced by the blind and partially-sighted within our community.

“We are delighted to be donating a proportion of ticket sales to Galloway’s Society for the Blind.”

Due to the limited capacity of this historic venue this is a FULLY VIP EVENT, with opportunities to meet and be photographed with Rick and Gordon after the event (using your own camera or smartphone).

There will be a bar run by The Borough pub and dining rooms selling Borough Brewery real ales and lager, wines and soft drinks before and after the concert and during the interval (pre-ordered only).

PLATINUM VIP PACKAGE

A maximum of 24 Platinum VIP packages will be available each day consisting of the following:

- a seat in the front two rows
- (Saturday) a one and half hour tour of Lancaster's historic medieval Castle in the company of Rick Wakeman and Gordon Giltrap
- (Friday) attendance at the sound check and Rick's rehearsal with the Choir and organ
- car parking adjacent to the Priory
- VIP entrance into St Nicholas Chapel
- bubbly reception prior to the concert in St Nicholas Chapel
- signed concert programme
- and, of course, the obligatory VIP laminated lanyard!

The church has a spacious Early English chancel built c1230 and a five-bay nave with North and South aisles built about 1260 in an early Decorated style. The spire was added in 1300-1320 and is the second highest in Nottinghamshire at 180 feet. The location of the tower at the west end of the north aisle provides a west front to the Nave. A clerestory was added in the fifteenth century.

The building was extensively restored in 1872 when five hundred seats were installed to cope with the rapidly rising population of Carlton and Netherfield which have since been made into separate parishes. A steep roof replaced a flat lead one on the chancel at the same time.

Special guest of Steve Phillips and his band The Rough Diamonds The Grosvenor Hotel

Station RoadRobin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire YO22 4RA

Phone: 01947 880320

Website: https://www.thegrosvenor.info

I'm doing an impromptu gig at The Grosvenor Hotel, Robin Hood's Bay on Tuesday March 7th as special guest of the legendary Steve Phillips and his band The Rough Diamonds.

It's only a short set but looks to be a fun night.


Robin Hood's Bay
´A small picturesque village which fits snugly into the steep cliffs on the North Yorkshire coast´

The area

Surrounded by moorland and fields on three sides and the sea on the other. Over the centuries ‘Bay’ has seen many a shipwreck in the wild seas and smugglers hurrying between houses at the dead of night.

North Yorkshire National Park

There are many walks and outstanding views to enjoy, and with much of the coastline now managed and owned by the National Trust and being within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, it is one of the most beautiful areas of England.

Bay Town

'Bay’ as it is known locally, is just 5 miles from Whitby, famous for being the home of Captain Cook and regularly visited today by tall ships. With ‘Heartbeat’ country practically on the doorstep, and less than 15 miles from the bustling seaside town of Scarborough, there is always something to do in or around Bay, whether visiting for the annual ‘Folk’ and ‘Victorian’ weekends, or the Gospel weekend in Whitby. Or maybe you will reach Bay and dip your feet in the sea having bravely trodden the 190 mile ‘Wainwrights’ coast to coast walk from St. Bees.

The Grosvenor Hotel

The 'Grosvenor' was purposely built as a hotel in the late 1890´s and is located at the top of the village where the Victorians built their 'superior dwellings' having moved from the cramped 'cottages' in the lower part of 'Bay'.

Guest of John Shuttleworth Sheffield City Hall

Phone: 0114 2 789 789

Website: https://www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk/events/John-Shuttleworth-2017

I have been asked to make a guest appearance with Graham Fellows AKA John Shuttleworth/Jilted John,at Sheffield City Hall on March 30th. It should be a fun filled evening.


My Last Will and Tasty Mint

John Shuttleworth hits the road following appearances on Celebrity Antiques Roadshow and the second series of Radio 4's John Shuttleworth’s Lounge Music for his farewell tour.

A recent health scare (well, a mild bout of sciatica) has made “Sheffield’s finest singer/songwriter” (The Times) focus on his mortality, and the many things he needs to do before the inevitable move into a hospice. Can sole agent, Ken Worthington pull out the stops and make John a star before his retirement?

As well as hilarious new songs, John will bash out the favourites on his trusty Yamaha: . And at the end of it all, a question remains: who should John donate his organs to, or should he just sell them on Ebay?

“Punch The Air To Character Comedy In A Class Of Its Own” The Sunday Times.

Exclusive to the City Hall, John Shuttleworth is joined by Sheffield's own punk icon, Jilted John in a rare appearance with his band performing the 1978 classic hit, Gordon Is A Moron, plus other songs. This follows a triumphant appearance at the UK's premier punk rock festival, Rebellion last August. "Ere we go, 2, 3, 4 !"

Tickets for John Shuttleworth (subject to booking fees) at Sheffield City Hall are available online at www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk through the ticket hotline on 0114 2 789 789 and in person at the Sheffield City Hall Box Office.

Sharing Day The Scout Hut

Mere Green RdSutton Coldfield B75 5BW

Price: £100.00

On Saturday August 26th I'm holding another "Sharing Day" in Mere Green, Sutton Coldfield at the same venue as last time, at the rear of St James Hall opposite Sainsbury's.

The plan is for a relatively short morning recital from yours truly and then a look at the chosen piece for the day THE LAST OF ENGLAND, the title track of the new album. This is a fairly accessible piece aimed at the intermediate player, so should hopefully appeal to most players of a reasonable standard.

During the remainder of the day I shall be on hand to ask any questions about technique, equipment, composition, performance, you name it!

My special guest for the afternoon is the superb builder of bespoke electric guitars Michael Gough of MG GUITARS. He creates the most beautiful instruments from the best materials available. Michael will also be on hand to discuss guitar set ups and give you an insight into how he does it. Apart from being a gifted builder Michael is also a very fine guitarist and composer and will be more than happy to share his knowledge with you. He's a lovely chap and good friend.

The cost for the day is £100.

Free tea and coffee will be available and food can bought from good old Sainsbury's located two minutes’ walk from the venue. There is also disabled access.

There is ample parking at the hall and for those travelling a distance wishing to travel the night before or stop over after the event, there is a Travelodge not too far away on Chester Road and numerous other places to stay close by. You will need to arrange your own accommodation.

For information and bookings please contact my good friend and webmaster Sue Holton by email on ggiltrap+sharingday@gmail.com

I'm SO looking forward to meeting all you pickers out there and sharing all I know and have learnt over my many years in this crazy music business

I look forward to hearing from you.

All three ladies have an impressive background. Two have starred in leading roles in the West End (Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia) and toured internationally while the third was a member of the world famous Swingle Singers and performed in concert halls and theatres around the world. The idea for Access All Arias happened after all three girls were working together singing on film soundtracks at Abbey Road, London. They realised that their voices blended extremely well together and their personalities suited each other perfectly for a new group.

The Stables is situated in a beautiful rural setting in Wavendon, just to the south east of Milton Keynes and a short drive from central Milton Keynes.

Wavendon Allmusic Plan Ltd (WAP), a registered charity, was founded in 1969 by the world-renowned jazz musicians Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth, with an aim to provide a centre of musical activity which would break down barriers between music genres and introduce music to as many people as possible regardless of age or social background.

The vision was realised with the development of The Stables Theatre, in some outbuildings at their home, as a venue for concerts and education activities. In October 2000, the new Stables Theatre opened its doors on a 398 seat auditorium which now presents over 200 concerts and over 200 education sessions each year.

A handling charge of £2.80 applies to all bookings. Online bookings are also subject to a £1.80 per ticket processing fee.

NICK HOOPER

Although Nick Hooper is better known as a film-music composer, he started his musical career as a guitarist, studying at The Royal College of Music, and receiving tuition from John Williams and others.

In the late 70s he toured widely under the auspices of Yehudi Menuhin’s Live Music Now, and also The British Council. In the 1980s Nick released a folk album Turning Tables with Chris Leslie, and a solo album of music by J S Bach which was critically acclaimed, comparing his playing to that of John Williams and Andres Segovia.

Decades later, after a successful film music career, scoring two Harry potter films and winning many awards, Nick has returned to his first love – the guitar. He joined forces with his wife Judith to form the duo Henderson:Hooper, started a folk series which has now become ‘Pop-up Folk’, and helped form the Dellywellyboot Band. A couple of years ago Nick recorded an album of mainly Irish music Six Strings, and it was this that caused him to meet Gordon Giltrap: Gordon generously helped him to get his new Fylde guitar – a copy of Gordon’s.

Of Six Strings: ‘It’s a complete joy. It’s going to be one of those albums that I play a lot, because it’s got that kind of calm spaciousness about it too, which is absolutely brilliant. Yeah, love it!’ Chris Leslie

Gordon is delighted to have the wonderful Carrie Martin as his special guest for this show.

For more information about Carrie, please visit her website http://www.carriemartin.co.uk

The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Sharing Day The Scout Hut

Mere Green RdSutton Coldfield B75 5BW

Price: £100.00

On Saturday Feb 24th 2018 I'm holding another "Sharing Day" in Mere Green, Sutton Coldfield at the same venue as last time, at the rear of St James Hall opposite Sainsbury's.

My special guest is the wonderful guitarist/composer/teacher and transcriber for major guitar publications in the UK Tristan Seume. It has been my pleasure to have known Tris for many years and it has been a joy to share the stage with him on many occasions.

Like me, he is a devotee of FYLDE guitars and like me shares a close friendship with the company's founder Roger Bucknall. Such is their friendship that Roger fashioned a beautiful FYLDE banjo for Tris, probably one of the finest I have ever seen and is truly worthy of his outstanding abilities on this instrument. But it is his virtuoso guitar playing that truly sets him apart from other players of his generation. I have always likened him to a young John Renbourn in terms of his touch and complex guitar instrumentals.

The format for the day will be a brief selection of tunes from yours truly followed by a detailed look at our chosen piece for the day, a track from my new album "This Fathers Love". There will be the usual Q&A on any related guitar subject be it technique, performance, composition, what have you. Also throughout the afternoon there will the chance to "share" YOUR playing with us.

giltrap 5022


Tristan will join in the afternoon to play us some of his stunning compositions and answer any of your questions, but the main thrust will be his playing. I hope he brings his banjo with him as well as his collection of FYLDE'S!

Tea, coffee and biscuits are available throughout the day, and our local Sainsbury's is just opposite for your luncheon needs.

Cost for the day is £100

The Guildhall was originally completed in 1890. It was designed by Leeds architect, William Hill, who was inspired to improve upon an almost-identical model that he had designed as Bolton Town Hall in 1873. Unfortunately, Hill’s Guildhall was not even to last a century before the angry skies of the Second World War rained down a series of incendiary bombs onto the city in 1941.

On the 10th January, bombs gutted the original Guildhall, completely destroying the interior and roof and leaving only the outer walls and tower, which suffered enormous fire damage. In the course of the bombings that rocked the city, 930 civilians were killed, 1,216 were hospitalised and over 1,500 more were injured. However, the spirit of Portsmouth that survived the Blitz also ensured the survival of the Guildhall, which was rebuilt after the War and re-opened by HM The Queen on 8th June 1959. The building has stood as a memorial to the spirit and determination of Portsmouth and her people ever since.

Following the success of their first concert Gordon and Nick return to Finstock Village Hall, this time joined by Judith Henderson for a second evening of music and banter.

NICK HOOPER

Although Nick Hooper is better known as a film-music composer, he started his musical career as a guitarist, studying at The Royal College of Music, and receiving tuition from John Williams and others.

In the late 70s he toured widely under the auspices of Yehudi Menuhin’s Live Music Now, and also The British Council. In the 1980s Nick released a folk album Turning Tables with Chris Leslie, and a solo album of music by J S Bach which was critically acclaimed, comparing his playing to that of John Williams and Andres Segovia.

Decades later, after a successful film music career, scoring two Harry potter films and winning many awards, Nick has returned to his first love – the guitar. He joined forces with his wife Judith to form the duo Henderson:Hooper, started a folk series which has now become ‘Pop-up Folk’, and helped form the Dellywellyboot Band. A couple of years ago Nick recorded an album of mainly Irish music Six Strings, and it was this that caused him to meet Gordon Giltrap: Gordon generously helped him to get his new Fylde guitar – a copy of Gordon’s.

Of Six Strings: ‘It’s a complete joy. It’s going to be one of those albums that I play a lot, because it’s got that kind of calm spaciousness about it too, which is absolutely brilliant. Yeah, love it!’ Chris Leslie

Gordon and Nick will be joined by fiddler Judith Henderson (Hooper) as a guest on this occasion. Nick and Judith have recently recorded an album of their duo Henderson:Hooper at Real World Studios, to be released during 2018.

Sharing Day The Scout Hut

Mere Green RdSutton Coldfield B75 5BW

Price: £100.00

On Saturday June 30th 2018 I'm holding another "Sharing Day" in Mere Green, Sutton Coldfield at the same venue as last time, at the rear of St James Hall opposite Sainsbury's.

I'm delighted to welcome old friends and new to what hopefully will be a fun and informative day sharing my thoughts with you.

I'm calling it my “HEARTSONG day" because that is my chosen piece for the event. All those pickers out there that know of this old chestnut of mine and would like to find out the inner workings of the piece, the big chordal sections, the open G tuning, the capo at fret 2 placement and all the "widdly diddly" bits in between then do come and join us.

It is going to be rather special because good friend and brilliant guitarist Nicholas Hooper will my guest. Nick is a fine player and was the man responsible for scoring the music for 2 HARRY POTTER films, so to have an award winning film composer and outstanding guitarist joining us is indeed a privilege.

So, if you want to meet and delve inside the mind of a film composer then this is an opportunity not to be missed. My hope is that everyone will go away armed with ideas they can work on.

Tab for the chosen piece – Heartsong, will be emailed to you well in advance.

During the remainder of the day I shall be on hand to ask any questions about technique, equipment, composition, performance, you name it!

Please do feel free to bring any recording facility or filming, (usually via phones these days) so you can get up close to what I'm doing and things can be recorded SLOWLY so there will be no doubt as to what is happening on the fingerboard. You will of course need your guitar(s) and a music stand may be useful if you have one but not essential.


Tea, coffee and biscuits are available throughout the day, and our local Sainsbury's is just opposite for your luncheon needs.

Cost for the day is £100


Do contact Sue Holton for details and to secure your place.

Email: ggiltrap+sharingday@gmail.com

I'm SO looking forward to meeting all you pickers out there and sharing all I know and have learnt over my many years in this crazy music business

I look forward to hearing from you.

As a Church of England vicar, Martin Green is responsible for 2 Warwickshire churches. In 2008, tragedy struck when, on Palm Sunday, one of his churches (St Nicholas') was broken into and burnt down. Later that year, his other church (St Michael's) was declared an emergency restoration project, when large chunks of stone began falling out of the church tower, threatening closure.

St Michaels church in Bishops Itchington was built in its present form in 1872, but sadly, the stone used has gone way beyond its safe sell-by date. We are currently facing a £250,000 restoration project to prevent the church from closing.

English Heritage have stepped in and offered a substantial grant towards these costs. They have recognised that our church is an integral part of the community as well as being a historical landmark. It is used by the community for all kinds of things that span all ages, from mums and tots to pensioners' lunches, as well as weekly worship.

Do please support us by coming along – it promises to be a very special evening.

Tickets : £10 each available from Martin Green
(01926 613466 – please ring between 6.00 – 9.00pm) or leave a message on the answer machine.

You are best to secure a ticket in advance but there will be tickets on the night as there is plenty of space!

Refreshments will be available.

My special guest for the afternoon was due to be outstanding guitarist/teacher/ composer Martin Pleass, however he is sadly unable to attend. In his place I'm now delighted to be inviting one of the finest 12 string guitarists around, Mr Paul Brett.

Many of you will know Paul's incredible range of guitars for JHS. I am a huge fan of the Paul Brett Viator guitar and his 12 string version of the same instrument,in fact I love all the instruments he has designed for the company and have used three models on stage and in the studio for many years now.

Come along and meet this legend of the instrument for yourself.

Should attendees require accommodation the Arts Centre recommends The Old Hall Hotel on Main Street, Frodsham.

IMPORTANT: Bookings for Sharing Day can ONLY be made via Sue Holton email: ggiltrap+sharingday@gmail.com and not direct from the venue.

Derby Dance was established as a local dance development agency based at Derby Playhouse in 1991, before becoming one of the first wave of national lottery funded capital projects to aid its move to new premises in 1997. The new building was officially opened in January 1998. In 2008, the name of the organisation changed to Déda.

Déda is the only dedicated dance house in the East Midlands region, acting as a local, regional and national resource for dance artists and the wider arts community.

Déda houses a 124 capacity studio theatre, three dance studios, meeting room facilities and the CUBE café bar. It offers a weekly class programme and a year-round professional performance programme for children, young people and adults, and an extensive community development programme. By providing a ladder of creative opportunities for artists, audiences and participants, Déda aims to foster an understanding of and respect for dance and related art forms.

In 2014, Déda re-developed part of the Queens Street Leisure Centre, expanding its facilities to include Meeting Rooms and Conferencing facilities, along with a brand new state of the art studio and production space. The theatre has also been dramatically improved to enable us to present larger scale dance productions – both by our own Youth Performance Companies and by National visiting companies.

Classic Rock Society present: GORDON GILTRAP


Concerts are regularly organised by the CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY, featuring some of the best Rock & Prog artists around.

Our stated core aim is, as it ever was, to foster the growth and development of ‘grass roots’ progressive and general ‘classic’ rock by bringing together like-minded individuals and giving bands who may struggle for gigs a platform to play. These smaller shows are to some extent subsidised by larger profile bands who also play for the Society. As well as our two regular venues near Rotherham (Montgomery Hall in Wath-Upon-Dearne and the Wesley Centre in Maltby), we also regularly use a venue in St Helens (the Citadel), Norwich (Brickmakers), and occasionally the Picturedome in Holmfirth. We are always looking for ways to expand and give the Society a more ‘national’ and less parochial flavour.

This will be a very special show as this will be a launch gig for Gordon’s upcoming biography Perilous Journey, written by Rock Society editor Steve Pilkington. Gordon will play a regular set and also another special section which will see him intersperse stories about his life with music from the period.

Artist: Gordon Giltrap
Date: 8th December 2018
Doors: 7pm
Venue: The Wesley Centre, Maltby, Rotherham, UK
Tickets: From: £17 (£15 for CRS Subscribers) are available from the CRS website (note, NOT the venue) at the following link: http://www.classicrocksociety.co.uk/shop/gordon-giltrap/

Gordon will be joined this evening by special guest Nicholas Hooper, guitarist and award-winning film composer. Nicholas will open the concert with a half hour solo set and in the second half will join Gordon on stage to perform some of his tunes in a duo format.


The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Sharing Day The Scout Hut

Mere Green RdSutton Coldfield B75 5BW

Price: £100.00

Gordon has booked the Scout Hut in Mere Green on Sat 16th March 2019 for the next Sharing Day.

Gordon writes:

I'm delighted to be inviting Ken Nicol as my special sharing day guest on March 16th at the usual Scout Hall venue in Mere Green Sutton Coldfield.

Ken is a great guitar and banjo player, a singer song writer whose pedigree encompasses his long history in Steeleye Span along with session work and stints with the Albion Band and Magna Carta.

Ken is great performer, who has his own signature FYLDE guitar which many of you who know of these great guitars is something very special. Ken is also a brilliant golfer so my pal Clive Carroll tells me! Oh, and he also plays a Uke!

We are very honoured to have him join us. https://kennicol.com/

The chosen piece for the day is a personal favourite - Fiona's Smile.

The format for the day with be a brief selection of tunes from yours truly followed by a detailed look at our chosen piece for the day, Fiona's Smile. There will be the usual Q&A on any related guitar subject be it technique, performance, composition, what have you. Also throughout the afternoon there will the chance to "share" YOUR playing with us.

Ken will join in the afternoon to play for us and answer any of your questions, but the main thrust will be his playing. I hope he brings his banjo with him as well as his FYLDE!

During the remainder of the day I shall be on hand to ask any questions about technique, equipment, composition, performance, you name it!

Please do feel free to bring any recording facility or filming, (usually via phones these days) so you can get up close to what I'm doing and things can be recorded SLOWLY so there will be no doubt as to what is happening on the fingerboard. You will of course need your guitar(s) and a music stand may be useful if you have one but not essential.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are available throughout the day, and our local Sainsbury's is just opposite for your luncheon needs.

Cost for the day is £100


Do contact Sue Holton for details and to secure your place.

I'm SO looking forward to meeting all you pickers out there and sharing all I know and have learnt over my many years in this crazy music business

I look forward to hearing from you.

Gordon Giltrap in concert The Plough Arts centre

9-11 Fore StreetGreat Torrington, Devon EX38 8HQ

Phone: 01805 624624

Price: £18.00

Purchase Tickets: click here

Website: https://www.theploughartscentre.org.uk/






Though The Plough celebrated 40 years as an arts centre in 2015, the building and the site on which it stands has a long and colourful history.

Originally the town house of a wealthy merchant in the late 1500s the building boasted the work of master craftsmen including wooden panelling, an ornate strapwork plaster ceiling and a fine large iron fireback dated 1618.

From 1750 to 1910 the house became The Plough Inn under licensees William and Judith Waldon. Other licensees included Mary Cock (1830 – 51) Sam and Mary Fry (1860 – 73) The Westlakes (1875 – 81) and Frank Gerrard (1897 – 1910).

The council minutes of 1875 record that “complaints have been made of the bad state of the closets and dung pit behind the Plough premises adjoining Potacre Street. Resolved that notice be given for the daily removal of the contents and the prevention of any nuisance therefrom”

By 1910 The Plough was in a parlous state and ceased to be a public house. The final indignity was a letter from Mr Parnell of The Globe Hotel next door dated July 1911: “Sirs, If you can allow me to put a cow in the Plough premises for a week I will undertake all risks. Resolved: permission granted”

The pub was demolished in 1912 with many of the fine Jacobean panels incorporated into the Council chamber in the town hall and other artefacts housed in the museum.

The building we see today was completed in 1913 as a Drill Hall for the use of the Territorials and Yeomanry. In July 1914 the new Territorial Drill Hall was granted a music and dancing license. By August war had been declared and the hall became the base for the departure of soldiers to the front.

As a base for the Devonshire Regiment and the North Devon Yeomanry the building was uncompromisingly spartan with a shooting range and storage for a large 25 pound field gun. When not being used to train soldiers it was used for badminton, childrens’ parties, grand parades, jumble sales, fancy dress, coffee mornings and dances especially during the second world war when the Americans were based nearby.

The army gave up the lease in 1968 but the Drill Hall continued to be used for Cavalier bonfire dances and Christmas parties, hunt dances and the May Ball.

In 1974 the Town Council sold the lease to T.A.R.A (Torridge Arts and Recreation) and following the efforts of many people including Dr Harry Cramp, Clifford Quicke and John Lane, The Plough Arts Centre opened on 11 April 1975 with a performance by Dame Edith Evans. One of many highlights from the 1970s was a three day visit by The Royal Shakespeare Company in 1978.

From 1992 – 2002 The Plough merged with Beaford Arts and benefited from substantial public and private grants and loans for major refurbishment and alterations to the building. These improvements enhanced the facilities, including modernisation of the theatre/cinema and film projection facilities, a new gallery space, workshop and dance studio, storage facilities, as well as improvements to the bar/café/foyer on the ground floor.

Following a period of uncertainty and a threat of closure, in 2002 The Plough was re-established as a new independent company and charity. The strength of feeling locally plus the huge support and financial commitment from the local community was instrumental in making sure the Plough survived.

Since 2002 the organic growth of The Plough has been strong under the leadership of a new Council of Management, director, loyal members of staff, volunteers and audiences. Public funding has been replaced by new lines of income generated from Business Supporters, fundraising events, individual donations, legacies, gift aid and successful funding bids for arts projects. In 2009 over 65,000 people entered The Plough for all purposes. Turnover, including catering increased from £85,000 in 2001/2 to £460,000 in 2008/9.

The trend of dramatically increased audience numbers, turnover, new revenue streams and arts activities has compensated for the overall decline in public core funding. Today, The Plough has achieved a plateau in terms of the levels of activity possible within the existing building and is looking to expand through partnerships with other organisations and through increased arts outreach provision.

Having achieved over 90% financial self sufficiency, The Plough Arts Centre is proud to have a strong foundation from which it can look forward positively to a dynamic and creative future. Responsive locally and valued across the region, The Plough aims to make a positive impact on the lives of all who come into contact with its arts programme.

Since 1975 (and probably 1575!) many thousands of performers, artists, workshop leaders, speakers and teachers have shared their work at The Plough. Artists of all ages, all artforms, from every continent have visited Great Torrington to entertain and inspire Plough audiences and participants.

Gordon Giltrap in concert Chipping Norton Theatre

2 Spring StreetChipping Norton OX7 5NL

Phone: 01608 642 350

Website: https://www.chippingnortontheatre.com

More details to be added when available.



This fabulous building began life as a Salvation Army Citadel, with the first stones, now visible in our auditorium, being laid in 1888. In strange quirk of fate, its designers and engineers were those behind many Victorian Music Halls, leaving it perfectly proportioned for its future theatrical life. It continued for some years as a furniture warehouse, before being discovered by two Royal Shakespeare Company actors, Tamara and John Malcolm in 1968. In 1973, fundraising for the new Theatre began in earnest, and the year was crowned with The Theatre’s first panto, Beauty and the Beast, staged in the town hall. The Theatre began as a true community resource, with residents of Chipping Norton each asked for £1 towards the conversion.

The Theatre was opened in 1975 by Tom Baker, the Dr Who of the time, beginning with a light programme including films and lunchtime Jazz concerts. The cottage adjoining the Citadel was purchased and converted to become the bar and gallery. The Theatre continued to grow and flourish, expanding its programme and reputation, and purchasing, in 1990, the building in Goddards Lane that now serves as green room, offices and rehearsal room.

1996 saw a major refurbishment, funded in part by the Arts Council, improving many aspects of the building, particularly the stage and wing space. Graham Rust, one of Europe’s finest muralists, was commissioned to produce the murals now visible in the bar. Not long after receiving a well deserved MBE for her services to The Theatre, Tamara Malcolm passed on the mantle of Artistic Director to Caroline Sharman.

The Theatre has had a strong reputation over the years for producing its own creative work, and notable performances of Yerma, Don Giovanni, Taste and Huck live in the minds of our audiences. These stand alongside perhaps our greatest claim to fame, the world-renowned traditional family pantomime, which draws on a long history of traditional values, top-notch creative teams, and original, daring twists to make it an irreplaceable part of countless family Christmases.

In 2008, John Terry took over from Caroline as Artistic Director, overseeing a period of further growth and professionalization, and collecting on behalf of The Theatre the 2009/10 TMA Stage Newspaper Award for Outstanding Contribution to Regional Theatre. The Theatre now stands as a rare example of a successful rural receiving and producing theatre, funded and supported almost entirely by local people, local councils and local businesses.

Price: £100.00

Website: https://www.castleparkarts.co.uk/

Sadly this event and associated concert have had to be cancelled due to unforseen events. Please contact Sue if you were attending the Sharing Day, or the venue if you were just attending the evening concert - thank you.

ALL ATTENDEES for Sharing Day must pre-book.

Cost of the day is £100 (which includes a pass for the evening concert).

I'm delighted to welcome old friends and new to what hopefully will be a fun and informative day sharing my thoughts with you, once again at the charming Castle Park Arts Centre, Frodsham, Cheshire. This will be another return visit for me and one I'm looking forward to very much.

My chosen piece for the day is A Christmas Carol. Tab for the chosen piece will be emailed to you when you sign up.

My special guest for the afternoon is that outstanding guitarist/teacher/ composer Martin Pleass.

I'm hoping he will be bringing that amazing Ralph Bown harp guitar along and demonstrate his skills on this monster of an instrument. Martin also has some impressive connections with world famous legends and I look forward to hearing about them on the day!

During the remainder of the day I shall be on hand to ask any questions about technique, equipment, composition, performance, you name it!

The evening will see me perform an intimate concert in the upstairs gallery. The seating is limited so those who just want to attend the concert should book early. Those attending the workshop will have free admission to the evening concert. (Concert tickets for partners etc should be booked separately direct with the venue)

Opening the evening concert for me will be the superb builder of bespoke electric guitars Michael Gough of MG GUITARS. He creates the most beautiful instruments from the best materials available. Apart from being a gifted builder Michael is also a very fine guitarist and composer. He's a lovely chap and good friend.


Should attendees require accommodation the Arts Centre recommends The Old Hall Hotel on Main Street, Frodsham.

IMPORTANT: Bookings for Sharing Day can ONLY be made via Sue Holton email: ggiltrap+sharingday@gmail.com and not direct from the venue. Please contact Sue with any questions or for further information about my Sharing Days.

"Oxford has always been a city close to my heart, having played there on a number of occasions.
Sharing the stage with such great players like Nick Hooper and Judith Henderson will be a joy".

Nick Hooper
Best known for his two film scores for the Harry Potter series, Nick has continued on his creative path using his imaginative and musical skills, which held him in such good stead in the film world, to both perform his own music, and to write novels. Early in his teens, Nick became an accomplished guitarist, going on to study at the Royal College of Music. He then went on to develop a career as a film composer picking up many awards along the way, including two BAFTAs, an Ivor Novello, and a Grammy nomination. Nick has returned to his guitar, working on projects with various musicians, including the legendary guitarist Gordon Giltrap. Nick’s solo guitar album 6 Strings was released by Angel Air Records in June 2018.

Judith Hooper
Judith has been playing the violin since the age of 6. Having grown up with a classical training in music, a diploma in music therapy at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama led her to develop her long-suppressed inclination towards improvisation and folk music. She went on to enjoy a close association with Cecilia Macfarlane and Oxford Youth Dance, creating the music for several dance pieces, including ‘Journey of Ten Knights’ (Oxford Playhouse) and ‘Cityscape’ (Pegasus Theatre). With Nick Hooper she formed the fiddle and guitar duo Henderson:Hooper in 2001, and the duo released their first full-length CD in 2018, entitled Pete’s Trees. Nick and Judith also perform with the singer/bass player Susanna Starling in their trio The Boot Band.

The Stables is situated in a beautiful rural setting in Wavendon, just to the south east of Milton Keynes and a short drive from central Milton Keynes.

Wavendon Allmusic Plan Ltd (WAP), a registered charity, was founded in 1969 by the world-renowned jazz musicians Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth, with an aim to provide a centre of musical activity which would break down barriers between music genres and introduce music to as many people as possible regardless of age or social background.

The vision was realised with the development of The Stables Theatre, in some outbuildings at their home, as a venue for concerts and education activities. In October 2000, the new Stables Theatre opened its doors on a 398 seat auditorium which now presents over 200 concerts and over 200 education sessions each year.

Price: £100.00

Website: https://www.castleparkarts.co.uk/



ALL ATTENDEES for Sharing Day must pre-book.

Cost of the day is £100 (which includes a pass for the evening concert).

I'm delighted to welcome old friends and new to what hopefully will be a fun and informative day sharing my thoughts with you, once again at the charming Castle Park Arts Centre, Frodsham, Cheshire. This will be another return visit for me and one I'm looking forward to very much. Some of you may remember that the last date here had to be postponed because of my short spell in hospital.

My chosen piece for the day is A Christmas Carol. Tab for the chosen piece will be emailed to you when you sign up.

My special guest for the afternoon is that outstanding guitarist / teacher/ composer Martin Pleass.

I'm hoping he will be bringing that amazing Ralph Bown harp guitar along and demonstrate his skills on this monster of an instrument. Martin also has some impressive connections with world famous legends and I look forward to hearing about them on the day!

During the remainder of the day I shall be on hand to ask any questions about technique, equipment, composition, performance, you name it!

The evening will see me perform an intimate concert in the upstairs gallery. The seating is limited so those who just want to attend the concert should book early. Those attending the workshop will have free admission to the evening concert. (Concert tickets for partners etc should be booked separately direct with the venue)

My special guest on the evening concert will be Michael Gough a fine guitar player and electric guitar builder whose workshop is adjacent to the Centre itself so do drop in and say hello whilst browsing his amazing hand built guitars along with a fine selection of acoustic instruments.


Should attendees require accommodation the Arts Centre recommends The Old Hall Hotel on Main Street, Frodsham.

IMPORTANT: Bookings for Sharing Day can ONLY be made via Sue Holton email: ggiltrap+sharingday@gmail.com and not direct from the venue. Please contact Sue with any questions or for further information about my Sharing Days.




Castle Park Arts Centre is set amongst beautiful floral gardens, parkland and woodland walks in the historic market town of Frodsham.

The Victorian building with its unique clock tower was originally the stable block for the adjacent mansion house. In 1986 these outbuildings were converted into the arts centre providing exhibition and workshop spaces, a cafe and craft units.

The traditional origins of the building are reflected in the magnificent wrought iron gates which were commissioned for the entrance to the Arts Centre.

The Arts Centre has 4 galleries, 2 craft rooms, 7 courtyard craft units, a coffee shop and garden space with disabled access. There is a regular programme of changing exhibitions and arts and crafts classes for adults and children. The Centre is also used by numerous clubs and societies.

Phone: 01905 611427

Price: £17.50

Website: https://www.worcesterlive.co.uk

Gordon is delighted to have the wonderful Carrie Martin as his special guest for this show.

For more information about Carrie, please visit her website http://www.carriemartin.co.uk




The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

By this time the building was in a deplorable state of repair, and there was a move to demolish it. However, a determined group of Worcester people fought to prevent this happening and, after ten years during which nearly £1 million was raised, the unique features of the chapel were repaired and restored to what you see today.

Many of the original pews have been retained with the addition of cushion, a number of which have needlework covers made by Worcestershire W.I. members. The pulpit was the centrepoint of the Chapel, and it's occupant was visible from all seats in the building. Nowadays the focus is on the stage, several feet lower, which is why there are seats in the gallery known to us as "listening seats". Graceful curved staircases lead up to the pulpit, which is flanked by two splendid eagle lecterns. The original communion rail is still in place beneath the stage. The organ is a very fine one, built by John Nicholson of Worcester in 1840.

Our beautiful Hall, the only one of its kind in the country, is a Grade II listed building. The poet John Betjeman visited it, and described it as being "unique and irreplaceable...a Georgian gem

Gordon Giltrap in concert POSTPONED DUE TO Covid 19 precautions All Hallows Parish Church

Arnold LaneGedling Nottingham NG4 4BE

POSTPONED DUE TO Covid 19 precautions



The church has a spacious Early English chancel built c1230 and a five-bay nave with North and South aisles built about 1260 in an early Decorated style. The spire was added in 1300-1320 and is the second highest in Nottinghamshire at 180 feet. The location of the tower at the west end of the north aisle provides a west front to the Nave. A clerestory was added in the fifteenth century.

The building was extensively restored in 1872 when five hundred seats were installed to cope with the rapidly rising population of Carlton and Netherfield which have since been made into separate parishes. A steep roof replaced a flat lead one on the chancel at the same time.


Booking info will be added when available.

Scattered Chapters Book and CD Launch Artifex Gallery

Mitchells Centre, Weeford RdSutton Coldfield BN75 6NA

Phone: 0121 3233 776

Website: https://www.artifex.co.uk/

Scattered Chapters Launch

Saturday July 23rd 2022 marks the release of what I believe to be the most significant and important project of my career thus far.

SCATTERED CHAPTERS is a dynamic multimedia project created during lockdown. It takes the form of a brand new Gordon Giltrap and Paul Ward album, alongside a beautiful book published by Wymer Publishing.

The book features short stories written by world famous award winning composer, guitarist and author Nicholas Hooper, a man who has composed music for over 250 films the most well-known being scores for two HARRY POTTER films. Nick is also a self-published author and was deeply inspired by the back stories that inspired the music.

The book also contains details of individual artwork from some of the most exciting artists working in the UK today. Each of them was captivated by the project and the end result is a stunning array of paintings, ceramics, glass art and jewellery reflecting the stories and the tunes, all faithfully reproduced in the book.

Now onto the CD released on Psychotron Records.

There are 18 compositions in all. Three of the pieces are the creations of Paul Ward and the remainder are mine. There is an orchestral version of an early GG tune and a reworked Celtic flavoured version of my classic “Heartsong” featuring the pipes and whistles of John Devine. Special guests on the album are Jenny Hanley, spoken word. Ian Mosley of Marillion, drums. Rod Edwards, keyboard arrangements. Nick Hooper, guitar.

A 25 minute documentary created by Mark and Jane Day of FluidFox about the project will also find its place on YouTube.

An exhibition of the work will run for one month from the launch date at Artifex the largest individual art gallery and craft centre in the UK. Special thanks to Nigel Bates for curating the whole thing. All the original artwork will be for sale!

On launch day (Sat 23rd July 2022) at Artifex the proceedings will start at 11 am and, after a few words of welcome, I shall be performing a short intimate acoustic set.

I’m delighted to report that Nick Hooper and Paul Ward will also be there to sign the book and album and chat generally about their careers. Some of the artists will also be in attendance along with Mark and Jane Day of FluidFox.

Friends of Psychotron Records will be there if you wish to purchase the CD and Jerry Bloom of Wymer Publications for the book.

July 23rd also marks Mr Hooper’s 70th birthday. Happy birthday Nick!

The first 100 CDs will be signed by Paul and myself. The first 100 books will be signed by Paul, Nick and I.

The book and album are available to pre order now or to purchase on the day.

Book price £29.99 plus P&P

CD price £10 plus P&P

Come and join us if you can for this very special occasion. Refreshments will be provided.

Gordon Giltrap in concert   Athy Community Arts Centre

Woodstock Street, TownparksAthy, Kildare R14 RH70 Ireland

Phone: 087 0576713

Website: https://www.athycommunityartscentre.com/

WITH The Smiths and The Stone Roses already in the DNA of the town, Athy now extends its musical background to include a Queen-recommended guitarist, when Gordon Giltrap brings “an intimate evening” to the Community Arts Centre next week (29 March).

“Gordon Giltrap is one of the elite few who truly have become legendary in their field in their own lifetime, and I am proud to call him my friend,” said Brian May, yes, THAT Brian May, co-creator of Bohemian Rhapsody and a few other well-known ditties from the 1970s.

In what is quite a coup for the Arts Community Centre, the gig is actually cover free, and Gordon will play free at the Woodstock Street venue from 8pm.

“We are now taking bookings for this amazing event in The Athy Community Arts Centre with no cover charge,” said a spokesperson.

“As the venue is not large and the gig will be quite intimate, availability will be limited, so please pick up the phone or email to secure your tickets,” they suggested.

“This is a call out to all you guitarists, guitar fans, guitar students or music fans in general….we here in The Athy Community Arts Centre are privileged and excited to host an evening with legendary guitarist Gordon Giltrap,” said the spokesperson.

“Gordon Giltrap MBE is a guitarist and composer whose music crosses several genres.” He said.

“He has been described as one of the most revered guitarists of his generation, and has drawn praise from fellow musicians, not just Brian May.

“Anyone who asks me knows, that I think that Gordon Giltrap is one of the best acoustic guitar players in the world,” said Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple.

“He gave me lots of hints as how to approach the acoustic guitar, as opposed to the electric guitar, and he was always way ahead of his time.

“A wonderful guitarist! I just wish he would slow down so that I could copy ( play) with him!” said Scottish guitar legend Bert Janch.

“People would tell me about American guitarist Sandy Bull and I’d say….I don’t know about Sandy Bull, but you would want to start listening to some of those people over here….Bert Jansch, Davey Graham and Gordon Giltrap,” said Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin.

The "Other" Coronation Concert -  Rick Wakeman, Gordon Giltrap, Oliver Wakeman and Carrie Martin Roses Theatre

Sun StreetTewkesbury GL20 5NX

Price: £26.00

Purchase Tickets: click here

Website: https://www.rosestheatre.org/

Join Rick Wakeman and Gordon Giltrap along with Oliver Wakeman and Carrie Martin for an evening of music and stories at an unique concert in aid of Milestone and Cleeve Schools.

An evening of breathtaking virtuosity, great stories and beautiful songs awaits. Each artist will perform their own set of material from their retrospective careers but will also make guest appearances in each others sets throughout the show to create a truly unique one off concert.

Rick Wakeman
World renowned keyboardist Rick Wakeman will be headlining this concert with music taken from across the wide breadth of his 50-year-plus career, stripped back to its roots in arrangements for grand piano. His performances will feature hilarious anecdotes and reminiscences of his life. Renowned as much for his irreverent sense of humour as his musical talent, all of Wakeman’s stories contain an element of truth; it’s up to the audience to decide how much.

Gordon Giltrap
One of the most innovative acoustic guitarists in the UK today, Gordon Giltrap has developed his own unique style, much copied, but never bettered. It is impossible not to be awestruck as he coaxes incredible melodies from his instruments; you almost suspect a second pair of hands. He is well known for his varied musical output and 'Heartsong' (a hit single in 1977) is instantly recognised as the theme for the BBC TV's long running 'Holiday' programme.

Oliver Wakeman
A three time CRS keyboard player of the year recipient. Following ten solo albums, Oliver joined the legendary bands 'YES' and ‘The Strawbs’ in 2008 taking over his fathers keyboard role. He worked with Gordon to write and record their multi award winning album ‘Raven’s & Lullabies’. Appearing in venues across the Americas, Europe and the UK he’s become a well respected performing musician to add to his other talents as composer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger and producer.

Carrie Martin
Carrie is a ‘triple threat’, possessed of the ability to craft a fine song, nimble finger-picking skill, and a beguiling voice. Her tone rests somewhere between a young Kate Bush and All About Eve’s Julianne Regan; delicate but infused with an inner strength. A perfect combination to showcase her memorable tunes and evocative lyrics.

About the Schools


Milestone School is an outstanding school for pupils with special needs aged 2 -16 years based in Gloucester whose aim is to remove obstacles and enable access to learning for each child through an individualised pupil-centred approach according to his or her needs. They aim to develop life and independence skills to each child’s full potential in order to prepare them for adulthood, through providing personalised and appropriate support.

Acapela Studio provides pre-concert dining between 6.00pm and 7.30pm from our wood burning pizza oven.

Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.

Then return to the event page to book your table, by selecting the date of your event, number of diners and time you require table. The times shown are the only vacancies left.  Please complete your email and phone number as this is required to ensure your table is allocated. You will receive confirmation of your booking by email and text.

If on the date you have chosen no tables are available - no times will be shown and the booking system will revert you back to todays date - PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK THE CORRECT DATE!

PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.

Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if  this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue.

  • All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
  • Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
  • Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
  • If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk

Please note that all of our pizzas are made fresh to order and cooked in an authentic wood-fired oven. It may take up to 45 minutes to be served during busy periods.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK A TABLE YOU CAN STILL ORDER PIZZAS ON THE NIGHT (USUALLY ON BUSY NIGHTS NO LATER THAN  7.15PM) AND WE WILL SERVE THEM TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE SAT IN THE VENUE - IN A PIZZA BOX.

The Mile of Roses Concert -  Rick Wakeman, Gordon Giltrap, Oliver Wakeman and Carrie Martin Roses Theatre

Sun StreetTewkesbury GL20 5NX

Purchase Tickets: click here

Website: https://www.rosestheatre.org/

“We should do this again” said Rick Wakeman as he, his son Oliver, Gordon Giltrap and Carrie Martin took to the stage to thunderous applause at the conclusion of last year's charity concert “The ‘Other’ Coronation Concert”.

Featuring sets from all four artists, the evening was a beautiful mix of music, stories and laughter.

True to his word, Rick has agreed to perform again along with Oliver, Gordon and Carrie.

Last year's concert was a very special occasion and sold out within a few weeks, raising a tremendous amount of money for two local schools - hopefully this year we will be able to do the same, this time raising money for Milestone School and The Roses Theatre itself. So, take your seats and prepare for another evening of breathtaking virtuosity, great stories and beautiful songs.

This time around, the artists will perform their own set of material from their retrospective careers, with occasional appearances in each others' sets throughout the show to create a truly unique one-off concert. One not to be missed!

Rick Wakeman
World renowned keyboardist Rick Wakeman will be headlining this concert with music taken from across the wide breadth of his 50-year-plus career, stripped back to its roots in arrangements for grand piano. His performances will feature hilarious anecdotes and reminiscences of his life. Renowned as much for his irreverent sense of humour as his musical talent, all of Wakeman’s stories contain an element of truth; it’s up to the audience to decide how much.

Gordon Giltrap
One of the most innovative acoustic guitarists in the UK today, Gordon Giltrap has developed his own unique style, much copied, but never bettered. It is impossible not to be awestruck as he coaxes incredible melodies from his instruments; you almost suspect a second pair of hands. He is well known for his varied musical output and 'Heartsong' (a hit single in 1977) is instantly recognised as the theme for the BBC TV's long running 'Holiday' programme.

Oliver Wakeman
A three time CRS keyboard player of the year recipient. Following ten solo albums, Oliver joined the legendary bands 'YES' and ‘The Strawbs’ in 2008 taking over his fathers keyboard role. He worked with Gordon to write and record their multi award winning album ‘Raven’s & Lullabies’. Appearing in venues across the Americas, Europe and the UK he’s become a well respected performing musician to add to his other talents as composer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger and producer.

Carrie Martin
Carrie is a ‘triple threat’, possessed of the ability to craft a fine song, nimble finger-picking skill, and a beguiling voice. Her tone rests somewhere between a young Kate Bush and All About Eve’s Julianne Regan; delicate but infused with an inner strength. A perfect combination to showcase her memorable tunes and evocative lyrics.

PRICE: £80 (Meet & Greet)

The Roses is opposite several large pay and display car parks, which all have unlimited free parking after 5.30pm every day.

Our story

Ilminster Arts Centre was founded in 1995 by artist and illustrator Mary Atherton and her husband Jim. The centre – now a well-established, thriving multi-arts venue – operates as a registered charity. We’re based in a former Unitarian chapel, built in 1718-19, which welcomed worshippers until 1989 and became known as The Meeting House.

Over its long lifetime the building underwent several changes. Initially it was a chapel with a small congregation. It developed into a much larger town facility with several hundred worshippers and a separate Sunday school, which became a full junior school. Each change involved major building extensions and improvements.

Our boutique shop is located in an alcove where the church organ was housed.

The property is privately owned and leased to the Arts Centre.
