Reimagining the poetry of Gertrud Kolmar. An immersive musical journey with Professor Julian Marshall.

Beginning in 2007 with the startling discovery of the truly remarkable yet tragically little-known poet Gertrud Kolmar, who perished in Auschwitz in 1943, composer Julian Marshall set out on what has become a deeply involving, transformative creative journey. This has, so far, resulted in five works under the collective name The Welten Project – the seventeen-poem cycle on which all works are based.

In this evening’s presentation, Julian will share the story and process of this project and play a specially curated playlist of music.

Julian says about the event:

‘Towards the end of 2024, I began to feel that an event offering some sort of consolidation and contextualisation of Welten Project works written so far would be worth exploring. I had for some time become aware that from each of the five existing works there could be drawn a kind of distilled, concentrated playlist – a carefully curated compilation that could become a new ‘whole work’ in of itself.

This has now become a reality and I very much look forward to sharing this new endeavour with you – an evening that will take the form of an immersive listener experience prefaced by a short introductory talk and completed with a Q&A session.’

Julian is composer and a professor at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) in London, England.

You will hear recorded performances from:

James Gilchrist

Melanie Pappenheim

Miranda Ostler

Author and Journalist Simon Barnes talks about his most recent book ‘Spring Is The Only Season’ and some of the ideas involved – love, religion and poetry as well as butterflies, birdsong and climate.

‘Spring is not so much a season as the meaning of life – at least it is to all of us who live in the seasonal lands. I have walked in rainforest, in desert and in the African savannah and that has taught me that there is no greater miracle on earth than the coming of spring.

Spring can be found in birdsong, in the awaking butterflies and in the quickening of the land as the returning light and warmth sparks the growth of plants. Spring can also be found in great festivals of religion, ancient custom and sport. Spring is traditionally the time of love. Spring has been made still more vivid by the greatest artists that ever lived.

And me, I intend to celebrate every  possible aspect of the spring, for, after all, hope springs eternal in the human breast.’

The event ends at approximately 12 noon.

The year is 1916.
Drawn from two years of Sussex retirement for the funeral of his friend, Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve ‘the last act’ of his epic career.
A theatrical evening then unfolds, with fourteen characters, all played by Nigel Miles-Thomas in a tour de force performance.
Cross-examinations, heated arguments between Holmes and Watson, and all manner of comic and serious interactions, between many famous Conan Doyle characters.
As the play concludes, the great detective reveals a shocking secret.

Written by Conan Doyle expert David Stuart Davies, directed by award-winning Gareth Armstrong.

‘Nigel Miles-Thomas plays Holmes with magical candour. Brilliant, Unmissable’ ***** (Noho Arts)
‘A Classy Holmes” **** (The Daily Mail)
‘There is nothing elementary about this production, top class’ *****(Glam)
‘A Firework display of Acting virtuosity’ ***** (Theatre Weekly)

At their mother’s wake, two brothers start to piece together a sense of who she was from the stories she told them as children, and as adults. Some were hilarious, some terrifying and some downright baffling. Did they help the brothers in their life path, or did they make the forest darker and the way less clear? Was their mother to be found in her yarns, like the old woman spinning in her gingerbread cottage? Or were they a smokescreen, an enchanted mist that took you to strange realms and left you thrilled but faintly bewildered?

‘Lime and limpid green, a second scene now fights between the blue you once knew.’

And so, it began back in 1967 and the music of Pink Floyd has continued to intrigue, attract, and delight audiences for almost 60 years.

The Post Floyd Dream is at its nucleus, made up of 7 experienced musicians with a passion for this iconic band, performing the music in a way that will satisfy even the most diehard Pink Floyd fan.

Originally formed in 2015 for a one-off charity event in memory of a musician local to the bands Essex base, the band founding members decided to continue and expand the project. Since then, TPFD has evolved and developed with the current line-up being the most dedicated yet to achieving an authentic tribute to Pink Floyd’s music.

A two and a half hour set of Floyd classics spanning Meddle to The Division Bell including tracks from The Dark Side of the Moon and a few surprises for which mention must go to Pink Floyd’s drummer and founder member Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets touring band.

Audiences will be treated to a full stage show complete with lights, lasers, visuals, sound effects and stunning audio quality.

We look forward to seeing you join us to celebrate the endless river that is the truly amazing Pink Floyd.

England cricketing legend Graham Gooch OBE is the highest run-scorer of all time, and his 67,057 runs across first class and limited-overs cricket is more even than Sachin Tendulkar’s tally.
One of only 25 players to have scored over 100 first-class centuries, he is a three time Ashes winner, captained England to a World Cup final, and his famous 333 against India is the highest Test score ever at Lord’s.
In 2012 he became England’s batting coach, working with greats including Kevin Pietersen and Joe Root. Gooch’s experience of the game simply can’t be bettered, and he has the stories to prove it!

Expect “initial touches of baroque fusing with modern day folk” (FATEA) as The Finn Collinson Band returns to the stage in 2025.

Joined by two of English folk’s most in-demand musicians, Evan Carson (bodhran, percussion) and Archie Churchill-Moss (guitar, accordion), Finn combines a fundamentally folk approach with elements of early music to sculpt a distinctive and pioneering sound.

Traditional dance tunes meet historical melodies, shaken up in striking new arrangements and brought up to date with Finn’s compositions and trademark recorder style.

Together they create a captivating and wonderfully varied live show, with a respectful eye
on the past but a firm grounding in the present.

“I strongly recommend you take every opportunity to catch them live” – KLOF (Folk Radio)
“Finn is regarded as a leading exponent of the recorder, and deservedly so. Hearing it played as well as it is here, makes me wonder why it’s not heard more in folk music.”– Folking
“His ability to weave tradition and modernity results in an album that feels both familiar and innovative.” (on The Threshold) – Blokfluitist (NL)
“Cutting-edge English folk” – FolkWorld

The best place by the festive fireside was always reserved for the storyteller. Join Edwyrdian Tales for an evening of haunting dark delights set during Christmastide, on our second national tour of ghostly tales of dread. This year our night of seasonal spirits features terrors from classic authors of the age… MR James and Marjorie Bowen.

In “Number 13” a traveller discovers that his hotel room is not quite all that it seems and that the Number 13 is indeed unlucky for some… In “Kecksies” two ill-mannered young Lords impose on the hospitality of a tenant accused of witchcraft, only to find that candles are lit for a funeral in the house. When they decide to play a cruel prank on those coming to pay their respects to the dead, no one will escape the consequences untouched.… And finally in “Oh Whistle and I’ll Come to you my Lad” a storm is whistled up along a bleak stretch of coastline, and a question howls upon the wind “Who is this who is coming…”

Bone chilling tales to conjure the spirits of Christmas…

A one-man performance, directed and haunted by Matthew Wood.

(Not suitable for children under 10 years of age)

Presented by Edwrydian Tales
