Venue: Whitchurch Parish Hall map Address: 28 London Road, Whitchurch, Hampshire, RG28 7LQ Event: Whitchurch Folk Club: Bryony Griffith and Alice Jones - 8pm - Bryony Griffith is an English fiddle player and singer from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire with a rich repertoire of English dance tunes and songs. Her career in folk music started in the acclaimed ceilidh band Bedlam in her teens and took her all over the UK festival scene. She later became musician for Dog Rose Morris, appearing on Jools Holland, and still plays for one of the country’s premier rapper teams, The Newcastle Kingsmen. She sang in the much-missed a cappella group The Witches of Elswick and was a founder member of the BBC Folk Award-winning Demon Barbers. Since 2017 Bryony has been Senior Lecturer in vocals and fiddle on the Folk Music degree at Leeds Conservatoire. Alice Jones is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and dancer from Ripponden in West Yorkshire. Her background is deeply rooted in the English folk tradition and the music that she makes instantly reflects this strong influence. Alice sings mostly traditional songs accompanying herself on the piano or harmonium and sometimes only with foot percussion. The sensitive and intuitive arrangements of each song allow the stories to take centre stage and, inspired by her beginnings as a percussive dancer, they are loaded with a rhythm and energy that portrays her dancer’s heartbeat. Her distinctive voice and innovative style lends a fresh, modern perspective to traditional material and brings new life to old songs. Live music |

In this context, queerness isn't about who you partner with in a romantic way, but about rethinking how we relate to one another as a community, pushing back against social pressure to separate into cliques based on age, ethnicity, class, gender, school... WinQeilidh welcomes everyone, encourages consent culture, and teaches dancing without making assumptions about dancers.

Sunday 28 April 2024
Venue: Theatre Royal map Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: New Sussex Opera The Dragon of Wantley - 4pm - The Dragon of Wantley - Lampe's 1737 smash hit: a Yorkshire legend, a send up of Italian opera seria, with earthy satire, razor wit and delightful music in the style of Handel. A dragon is terrorising the Yorkshire countryside, devouring anything it meets. The only person who can save the locals is a drunken squire - if he can put down his pint. He agrees, but just as daunting as his monstrous opponent is the love triangle that ensues. Will the dragon prevail? And who will get their man? The Dragon of Wantley, the 1737 smash hit of the London season, parodies Handel's serious operas - as well as poking fun at the government of the day. The combination of Lampe's first-rate music (of which Handel himself approved) and wonderfully witty libretto by Henry Carey makes this opera a comic gem. Don't miss the rare chance to see this masterpiece of English comic opera performed with a traditional period orchestra as New Sussex Opera sets the opera in a South Yorkshire of the 1980's (against the background of the miner's strike). The recent recording of The Dragon of Wantley from the Brook Street Band and conductor John Andrews won BBC Music Magazine 2023 Award in Opera.

Songs in musicals function in various ways and can express a range of emotions for the characters that sing them. Whether moments of joy, anger or despair, and everything in between, musicals allow characters to paint their emotions on a variety of canvases. In a stripped-back, concert setting, students will perform a range of songs drawn from across the musical theatre repertoire, illustrating that musicals can be so much more than frivolous entertainment.

Venue: The Railway map Address: 3 St Pauls Hill, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22 5AE Telephone: 01962 867795 Event: Lucy Kitchen + March - 7.30pm - In a musical world that seems ever more dictated by fad and fashion, driven by bluster and bombast, concerned with big statements and immediate responses, it is reassuring to know that there are still artists unaffected by such concerns. Lucy Kitchen is everything that the usual modern approach is not. Her songs are deft and delicate, built on clean-limbed and gentle lines and embellished with only the absolutely essential sonic details. Beats are minimal, textures subtly woven and the music feels nothing more than gossamer and smoke-like layers skilfully interlaced to maintain a musical weightlessness.

Venue: The Railway map Address: 3 St Pauls Hill, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22 5AE Telephone: 01962 867795 Event: Mind Imperium UK + Biolith + Supersonic Sloth + Hail - 8pm - With its latest release ‘Nemesis’, Mind Imperium expresses an ineffable despair through a unique blend of blackened death metal and dark ambient styles. Each song is a statement, a reminder that we are destroying wildlife and beyond, emptying oceans and forests of all their living creatures, thus leading ourselves to unavoidable extinction. Mind Imperium sings of the unheard scream of our oceans stripped of all life by the hand of men, of the bloodstained ashes of our forests whose life is burning away, the cub bereft of its mother’s warmth, of the father without a son.
