My starting point is always a love of drawing landscapes -but this sometimes develops into surreal or semi-abstract treatments.

The North Cornish coast is a favourite area as well as the Jurassic Coast, not to mention woods near Bull Mill.

SYNOPSIS

The multi-award winning and critically acclaimed Lincoln Center Theater’s production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King And I recorded live at London’s iconic Palladium returns to the big screen. Reprising her Tony Award-winning role, “Broadway musical’s undisputed Queen” (The Sunday Times) Kelli O’Hara (Anna) takes to the stage alongside Tony and Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe (The King) in a “powerhouse” (The Times) performance. Also returning to her Tony Award winning role as Lady Thiang is Ruthie Ann Miles.

Set in 1860s Bangkok, the musical tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna, a British schoolteacher whom the modernist King, in an imperialistic world, brings to Siam to teach his many wives and children. With one of the finest scores ever written including Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You, and Shall We Dance, and featuring a company of over 50 world-class performers, The King and I is a testament to the lavish heritage of gloriously romantic musical theatre – it is the greatest musical from the golden age of musicals.

One man, a piano and an unexpected item in the bagging area… 

The 45-minute musical trolley-dash is a one-man show written and performed by Steve Clarke. It explores a typical journey through the supermarket and introduces the audience to the full range of customers and staff, while also educating them about some of the characteristics of romantic opera. 

The musical shopping trip highlights all of the difficult choices that shoppers face, beginning with the ‘basket or trolley’ dilemma and ending with the heart-wrenching decision you face when you need to donate the blue token to one of three very deserving charities.  

Steve Clarke is a Somerset-based writer, composer, performer and teacher. Tesco: The Opera! was a sell-out at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2017.  

Clarke explains: ‘I enjoy observing characters in supermarkets and seeing how different people approach things. The inspiration for a lot of this show simply came from watching people doing their shopping. As soon as I notice something quirky or get an idea for a song I’ll get my phone out and start recording it. This has led to some strange looks from the checkout staff.’

My paintings are for the most part small acrylics that explore a few subjects that I return to frequently – the Annunciation, the Visitation, the journey to Bethlehem and the journey of the Magi. My training was as a stained glass artist at Kingston & the Royal College of Art. I no longer make windows but this influences both what I paint & how I paint it.
David Marl

John Constable said that painting was just another word for feeling. I think he was right about that.

Walking feet – we are a group of four friends who have been meeting and working together for the last ten years. At the time of the first lockdown, we were working towards an exhibition, but of course that was cancelled. 

We could only meet on Zoom but began to take it in turns to set challenges for the group to produce small pieces, choosing a subject as a starting point, and sometimes stipulating size as well.  

In all we have each set four challenges, and these pieces are the results. I think it is fair to say that we all like some of our pieces more than others, and that we found some challenges more challenging than others, but at least that gave us something to worry about other than COVID. 

The pieces will be on show in September so do come and see how we used or wasted our time. 

These classes are for ladies of all ages and abilities who would like some light exercise. One class is low impact aerobic movement. The other is a gentle keep fit class.

Karren works in oils, watercolours, charcoal and pen and ink to represent her version of the world around her.  She is excited by the relationship of colours and the play of light on landscapes and objects.  Since the first lockdown in March 2020 her focus has shifted from landscape to her local surroundings and dead flowers.

Though I have been, my life, an artist I started painting finished landscapes ten years ago. Starting in Watercolour, I moved to Oil after five years and have enjoyed developing in them, occasionally with reference to much loved Dutch Landscapes. In the last year or two I have added some still lifes of collected artefacts and other oddments. This Exhibition will hold some favourite paintings of the last ten years and one or two new ones after my latest fashion. 

Whilst performing in Las Vegas some years ago Bob Drury was described as “one of the world’s finest vocal tributes to Neil Diamond” and he’s now back touring the UK with his new acoustic based show for 2021 celebrating the legendary Neil Diamond and his incredible back catalogue of songs.  Bob Drury’s award-winning one-man show is an absolute ‘must-see’ for any Diamond fans.  Prepare to be blown away by his vocal likeness which has been delighting audiences around the world combined with his stunning prowess on the guitar.

By taking some of the songs back to how they were originally written, with just voice and guitar, Bob brings a whole new dimension to the songs, particularly the beautiful guitar ballads that have a genuine depth of emotion when stripped right back. The show still includes loads of Neil Diamond’s blockbuster hits such as ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’, ‘Play Me’, ‘Hello Again’,  ‘Song Sung Blue’, ‘Beautiful Noise’, ‘Red Red Wine’ and ‘Forever in Blue Jeans’ so get those voices ready to sing along! There are also a few lesser known songs that are sure to become your favourites by the end of the show.  A fantastic evening guaranteed!

“an uncanny resemblance to Neil Diamond’s voice. That sent tingles down my spine Bob!”  Debbie McGee, BBC Radio Berkshire

“Bob, it was great hearing you last night and I was totally blown away by your level of musicianship on guitar” Mark LeVang, keyboard player with Neil Diamond’s band

“Bob is well established as one of the world’s finest vocal tributes to Neil Diamond” Steve Tatone, Film Producer, Midnight Pass Productions, USA

“If I didn’t know better I’d have said that was Neil Diamond singing” Pat Marsh, BBC Radio Kent

“Without doubt, the best Neil Diamond tribute in the UK. The vocal accuracy is astonishing!” – Chris Neilson (Artistic Director) First & Foremost Entertainment Ltd

“….oozing class” Nolan Dean, Cruise Director, M/V Island Star
