Venue: The Arc map 
Live music
Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: 01962 398046 Event: DEAN DYSON - 7.30pm - To linger a while and listen to Dean is to lose yourself, however momentarily, away from the clamour and chatter of daily life. How to describe his distinctive baritone timbre? Colour, richness, depth? Tick all boxes. How about a generous helping of 80% cacao mellifluousness? Present and correct. A vocal range that can pretty much span the whole nine yards from Paul Robeson to Paul Simon? Access all areas. And there’s an underpinning of effortlessness and confidence that comes from an instinctive musical ability honed by a lifetime of performing. Then stir in his peerless acoustic guitar accompaniment and a vocal phrasing that’s easily up there with the Bennetts and the Bublés of the world and you’re left wondering why this guy’s not on The Pyramid at Glasto’ or at the very least wowing viewers with an intimate set on Later with Jools. Dean’s career has spanned over half a century and he’s showing no sign of slowing down, with 4 original cd's, a healthy Spotify following and a new Patreon channel- patreon.com/DeanDyson Venue's website: arcwinchester.org.uk Venue's Facebook: facebook.com/arcwinch

Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: 01962 398046 Event: BEYOND THE STREETS OF LONDON - 7.30pm - From the Producer and band of the hugely popular ‘Fire and Rain & American Pie’, they now bring you a a sequel! This time featuring Folk-Pop artists of the same era from the UK. Throughout the swinging sixties and early seventies, artists such as Ralph McTell, Cat Stevens, Lindisfarne, The Seekers, Steeleye Span, Mary Hopkin, Donovan, Sandy Denny and a few quirky ‘one-hit wonders’ (!) went toe-to-toe in the pop charts with Rock/Pop giants such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. A few of the Beatles’ acoustic-folky songs will also feature in this show, as their influence and inspiration spread throughout all popular music of the time. It promises to be another fascinating, whimsical, sometimes melancholic journey (including some narrative and projection screen images) back to an extraordinary era of folk singer-songwriting.
