La Bouche Manouche present An Evening with Django and Billie
Featuring Irene Serra.
Critically-acclaimed Italian vocalist Irene Serra joins forces with gypsy jazz outfit La Bouche Manouche to create a special show. Brought together by their passion for jazz icons Django Reinhardt and Billie Holiday, this performance will weave together the life story of these two seminal artists that were musical contemporaries and the music and songs that connected them.
The mesmerising vocals of Irene Serra combined with the sizzling Gypsy Jazz influenced La Bouche Manouche will present a programme of music which pays homage to both iconic musicians with repertoire chosen from their most famous recordings.
The performance will include much-loved tunes including Nuages, Fine And Mellows, Les Yeux Noir and Jeepers Creepers.
Join us for a unique and upbeat celebration of some of most defining songs of the Golden era of jazz!

Acoustic Guitar - Absolute Beginners
Led by Jim Maving
Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.
If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.

Beginners/Gentle Yoga
Led by Julie Potter
This class is particularly suited to beginners, those returning to yoga having had a break, those with specific injuries or conditions or even those that consider themselves to be of a ‘certain age’ that might need a less challenging approach. We will cover general breathing practises, the basic and gentler postures, together with general information and possible discussion around movement and the potential difficulties we might come up against.
The aim will be to relax and enjoy.
The yoga I teach is an evolution of nearly 30 years of practice and study, with a broad experience of many styles and teachers. In recent years I have been moving away from ‘external’ evaluation of the postures and moving towards an ‘internal’ sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential and ‘felt’ approach, influenced by teachers who have been inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.
Please bring a blanket, a yoga / Pilates mat, and wear loose comfortable clothing
