The iconic British rock band, The Kinks, are often cited as one of the most important and influential rock bands of all time.

Although the band’s popularity in the UK waned in the 1970s, they found new commercial success, particularly in the USA, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and returned to the UK top 20 in 1983 with Come Dancing. The Kinks continued as a recording and gigging band until 1996, when the Davies brothers went their separate ways with solo careers.

The Kast Off Kinks formed in 1994 to keep the music playing on, and it is what the name implies - the original line-up consisted of the band that played Lola (apart from Ray and Dave) - Avory, Dalton and Gosling - together  In 2009, the line-up became the band that played Come Dancing - Avory, Gibbons and Rodford (respectively the Kinks’ longest-serving drummer, keyboard player and bassist) - still with Dave Clarke covering for the Davies brothers. Jim then became very busy playing with The Zombies and Argent, so John Dalton was persuaded out of retirement and went on to play very regularly with The Kast Off Kinks.

Very sadly, we lost Jim Rodford in 2018 and Ian Gibbons in 2019. The Kast Off Kinks played the Official Kinks Fan Club gathering in November 2019, with Mark Haley on keyboards, but then John Dalton announced his retirement (again) and the COVID pandemic arrived, so The Kast Off Kinks played no more until the Official Kinks Fan Club gathering in November 2021, when Mike Steed, on bass, joined Dave Clarke, Mick Avory and Mark Haley, with guest performances by Bob Henrit on drums and John Dalton doing some vocals.

Now The Kast Off Kinks, comprising Mick, Dave, Mark and Mike, are back on the road.

Transatlantic folk band The Magpies are quickly becoming one of the most exciting and innovative acts on the contemporary roots scene. Combining sublime harmonies with exquisite musicianship and impressive songwriting, The Magpies traverse Anglo and American roots, drawing inspiration from traditional Celtic folk, bluegrass and Appalachian trails, to create an effortless melting pot of music.

Accomplished musicians in their own right, founding members Bella Gaffney (award winning singer-songwriter, guitarist and banjoist) and Holly Brandon (acclaimed fiddle player and tunesmith) perform alongside gifted singer-songwriter and guitarist Ellie Gowers. These talented young musicians work collaboratively to create their fresh brand of transatlantic folk and champion gender equality in the music industry, with a fervent thread of feminism running through their music.

Following the release of the band’s critically acclaimed debut album in 2020, The Magpies released their second album Undertow in October 2022. A rich and varied showcase of their live sound, flawless instrumentation provides an elegant canvas for intricate harmonies and engaging storytelling. With a sound that pushes boundaries and brings a fresh voice to the current milieu, the album’s success comes as no surprise, with a quarter of a million streams on Spotify, a place in the Official Folk Albums Chart Top 40 and a live session on BBC Radio 2.

In their live performances, The Magpies have been exceptionally well-received, touring extensively throughout the UK, with festival highlights including Glastonbury, Cambridge, Larmer Tree, Shambala, Towersey and Deer Shed and international performances in USA, Canada, Ireland, Portugal and Luxembourg. Their live shows are known for their high energy and wry delivery, transporting audiences to distant lands with ethereal voices and glistening instrumentals.

Drawing in some form is the starting point for most paintings as we figure out shapes and compositions. Of course the simplicity of drawings often stand as artwork in their own right, as Durer’s work attests, and today we will explore a simple, charming quirky style that anyone can do. We’ll start with a look at various styles, considering the ‘language’ they use,then try out a couple, perhaps deliberately unlearning precision, and developing a more responsive style to the character of the subject, keeping it very simple and cut back. As Paul Klee said, ‘we’ll take a line for a walk’ with all the glorious ease and freedom that suggests. Being able to draw in a sketchbook can fill many a pleasurable spare moment!

In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is named Regent while tyrant Henry is fighting overseas. Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine's childhood friend with treason and burns her at the stake. Horrified and grieving, but forced to deny it, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival. Conspiracy reverberates through the palace. Everyone holds their breath - for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before. With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?

Mónica García, singer, became passionately involved in flamenco at an early age, growing up in Frailes, a small village in South Spain, where the best olive oil in the world and the Andalusian zephyr from their mountains nurtured her voice. Mónica was a prominent student at Locura Flamenca academy, later becoming involved in traditional and modern dance and music groups; albeit her young age, this soulful singer surprises and delights flamenco aficionados and neophytes alike.

Demi Garcia Sabat, drummer and percussionist, moved from Barcelona to London to study at the London College of Music. He specializes in flamenco, jazz, Arabic, Latin American and pop music.

"Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures." -Glasgow Celtic Connections 2018

"The music may be pure old time Celtic, but the drive and enthusiasm are akin to straight ahead rock and roll." -Winnipeg Free Press

"An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new." - New York Times

Hopefully we will flock together again, as birds are our muse today in all their styles. Do we envy their freedom to fly? Admire their plumage? Or marvel at their endless variations? Whatever draws us to birds, they make an excellent subject.

  Whether an accurate watercolour study or an expressive mixed media piece, we will need to consider proportions, shapes and character just as we would in a portrait. Observing and interpreting a bird depending on our style, we can capture these creatures in oh so many ways.  We’ll consider some examples, warm up, then get to creating our own homage to birds whether in a portrait, decorative or abstracted style. Do bring your favourite photos, to add to mine, for inspiration.

We’ll start with a demo and warm-up that will get beginners and improvers alike started, then supported with their chosen project. This could become your new best friend! You may want to bring old paintings to experiment on.

Acrylics are the most versatile of the mediums, and they will take a lot of punishment as we create various resist and removed areas. They are hardy and dry fast but with a little ingenuity, we can ‘disturb' them.

This allows us to play with creating new levels and effects and often unique textures to bring individuality and excitement to our work. We will warm up then try out some of these techniques before putting them to use.  You may want to bring old paintings to experiment with.

Louis Burgess: Definitely Ironically Unnamed Show

Award winning musical comedian and online viral sensation Louis Burgess categorically despises hyped-up, gimmicky marketing blurb. So after he achieved OVER 50 MILLION VIEWS ONLINE, he vowed to never lower himself to such tactics to sell tickets.

This is definitely why perpetual underachiever and professional procrastinator Louis Burgess, AS SEEN ON ITV, decided that, in order to “bring down the system”, his show would be officially, and totally ironically, without a name.

Expect a show that avoids all cheap gimmicks such as meta postmodernism & mentioning his ADHD to appeal to the neurodivergent buzzword culture and instead delivers classic comedy values such as rap songs, contrived hyperactivity, gratuitous profanity and sound effects.

"Yes it's a show about life, fleeting mild fame, music, mental health, frustration, inability to meet deadlines. It's about all of that and more. But mainly it's about literally nothing at all." - Louis Burgess

INTRIGUING DOORWAYS –CREATING MOOD. New! £67 10.30-4.30 Any media, [Beginners/Improvers]

Doorways call us to enter, symbolically when they appear in dreams they may indicate a new chapter or experience is there for the taking....we just have to walk through! With the new year around the corner we may already be thinking of new opportunities.

Yet at another level, they are simply often very paintable. They have shapes and detail that can be very attractive and indeed really add to the character of a building. In history the grandeur of a door often proclaimed the wealth of the family and often expressed the level of security or welcome!

Today we will consider the balance between believable accuracy and how to create the mood we want our doorway to have. We'll warm-up, do a plan and off we go! Do bring any favourite photos to inspire you [I will have some too] or the image may come from yr imaginations or dreams!

A Christmas Carol

Being a Ghost Story of Christmas

The award-winning Dyad Productions, (A Room of One’s Own, I, Elizabeth, Austen’s Women, Female Gothic) who have toured their sell-out festive show Christmas Gothic since 2015, now bring their magic to Dickens’ classic and perennially relevant ghost story.

It’s Christmas Eve, and the miserly misanthrope, Ebenezer Scrooge, is about to have a ghostly night he’ll never forget.  Dickens’ festive, immortal tale of redemption and compassion is brought to life in Dyad’s inimitable solo style.

Draw near for an evening of mistletoe and merriment in the company of Marley, Fezziwig, and Cratchit et al to discover the true meaning of Christmas: tenderness for the past, courage for the present, and hope for the future.

Ebenezer lives in us all, and this glorious tale reminds us how not to give in to the Scrooge within.

Taking inspiration from Dickens’ original performances of his own work and utilising the brilliant narrator of the novel to bring the story to life, this solo piece is performed by Andrew Margerison (Frantic Assembly’s Fatherland, Macbeth), and directed by Rebecca Vaughan.

BALLET TO BROADWAY: WHEELDON WORKS

[Mixed Programme; 1 Revival, 3 New Productions)

Sensuous contemporary ballet meets the energy of musical theatre in four distinctive short works.

Fool’s Paradise, The Two of Us, Us, An American in Paris: four works showing the remarkable choreographic range of The Royal Ballet's Artistic Associate, Christopher Wheeldon.

FOOL’S PARADISE

Luminescent and shimmering, Fool’s Paradise marked the first of Wheeldon’s many collaborations with composer Joby Talbot. It was created in 2007 for Wheeldon’s own company, Morphoses, and first performed in 2012 by The Royal Ballet.

THE TWO OF US

The wistful songs of Joni Mitchell set the scene for the UK premiere of The Two of Us, a duet of deep intimacy and yearning. It was created in 2020 for the Fall for Dance Festival in New York, and had American ballet dancers Sarah Mearns and David Hallberg in its original cast.

US (DUET)

Us is a tender duet danced by two men. It was created in 2017 for BalletBoyz and is set to Keaten Henson’s music.

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (BALLET)

The Royal Ballet celebrates Wheeldon’s extraordinary success in musical theatre by performing the ballet scene from his Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris. Set to Gershwin’s jazzy melodies, the musical is inspired by the 1951 film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. The musical went on to win four Tony awards. The full musical depicts a blossoming romance between the American G.I. Jerry Mulligan and a French ballerina, Lise Dassin. The ballet excerpt was

Wheeldon’s take on one of the most memorable scenes from the film – an extended sequence in which the two central characters dance through Paris.
