Can you imagine spending your holiday in Antarctica? Or becoming best friends with a penguin?

While Helena is focused on completing her chores, Georgia discovers a giant iceberg on a collision course with the nearby penguin colony.

A brrr-illiant adventure filled with puppetry, jokes and a heart-warming original story.

The Churchfitters Christmas Cracker – Saturday, 17th December.

The Churchfitters is a folk band like no other. A double bass made out of a saucepan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw or a glass harp. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock rhythms. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax.

Performing at The Comrades Hall on Saturday, 17th December, you’re advised to get your tickets early for a show preparing you for Christmas with their repertoire, traditional and original festive songs, surprises, novelties and of course – what you get in every Christmas cracker – bad jokes!

The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments – adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, electric hub-cap bass-bouzouki and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble. And let’s not forget the unique ‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades!

Dave Brubeck 40th Anniversary Tour Polo Top Raffle

At Broadwindsor’s Artsreach event on Sunday, 31st October – there will be an exclusive opportunity to win a Dave Brubeck’s 40th Anniversary Tour Polo Shirt (Large size) in a raffle to be drawn at the interval. The black polo shirt is unworn with coloured embroidery which reads “The Dave Brubeck Quartet” in gold and “40th Anniversary Tour” in green.

Tickets at £5 are on sale now at Broadwindsor Community Stores and will be on sale prior to the start of the Matinee Jazz on 31st October.

50% of the proceeds go to the Comrades Hall.
Attendance is not necessary to win.

David Warren Brubeck – (December 6, 1920 – December 5, 2012) was an Californian jazz pianist and composer, considered one of the foremost exponents of cool jazz.
Dave Brubeck married jazz lyricist Iola Whitlock in September 1942; the couple were married for 70 years, until his death in 2012.

The 40th Anniversary Tour of the U.K. produced a 1998 live album by Dave Brubeck and his quartet recorded over three consecutive concerts in the United Kingdom, some 40 years after he had first visited the country.
The line up then was:

Dave Brubeck – piano, liner notes
Bobby Militello – baritone saxophone
Alec Dankworth – double bass
Randy Jones – drums

Often incorrectly attributed to Brubeck, the song “Take Five“, which has become a jazz standard, was composed by Brubeck’s long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. Written in ⁵/₄ time, “Take Five” has endured as a jazz classic forever associated with Brubeck.

The local supply ot tickets for Neil Maya’s Quarteret on 31st October are almost out 🙂 Any remaining tickets are held with Artsreach – please visit www.artsreach.co.uk

Good luck in the raffle!
