“These pieces will be interspersed with instrumental works that will enhance the varied affects encountered in the vocal pieces and will act as bridges into the following piece through improvisation, as they journey through this reflection on both the human and the divine.”

Out of the picture: Sat 17 (7.30 - 9.30pm)
SEACC is hosting the free preview performance of "Out of the Picture" as part of the Windrush 75 Commemorations this June. "Out of the Picture" is the true story of Fanny Eaton, a Jamaican artists’ model in Victorian London. Born in 1835, Fanny Eaton became a sought-after model for the young Pre-Raphaelite artists responding to the great issue of the day - the abolition of slavery, and for women artists fighting for professional recognition and remuneration.
Cry and laugh with Fanny, her family and the artists, and see the pictures they created revealed on stage in this 50-minute, one-woman show, featuring 12 characters. The play is written by Angela Bolger, art historian and writer. Fanny and all the other characters were her constant companions during lock down. The play is directed by actress Faith Tingle Bartoli. The part of Fanny Eaton is played by Ellouise Shakespeare-Hart, soon to be seen in Studio Canal's all-female thriller, "Something in the Water". Doors open at 6:30pm and guests can enjoy pre-performance drinks at the Walnut Tree Café. Hit the link below for more information and tickets.

Live at the Palace: 28 - 30 July
Not sure how “Live At The Palace” didn’t get on our radar sooner but we snapped up some tickets last minute dot com at the first weekend in May and saw some fantastic DJ sets with Groove Armada rounding off the night.
What a night it was standing on the Palace lawn as the sun went down, the energy as well as the music was incredible. The bars were busy but ran smoothly and there were some great food vendors on site.
Next month there’s another three days of music featuring Emilie Sande, Aswad and UB40. Gates open at 4.00pm, so if its a beautiful day you can arrive early sit on the lawn until it gets busy and enjoy the vibes until the music starts at 5.00pm. Last / headline act normally comes on around 9pm and the event finishes at approximately 10.30pm. Hit the link below for more information and tickets.
