Good afternoon Chaps, the Penguins have been working jolly hard on their new album and have put a little taster on their music player, Huzzah! It's called Godless and it's bloody good too. Enjoy, we salute you.

“All THAT Jazz”

Mike Westbrook’s colourful and innovative six-piece, Village Band, play his distinctive arrangements of Jelly Roll Morton, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus and others, and Mike talks about his work and takes questions from the audience.

Saturday 29 March at 8.00pm
£15
“Waxeywork Show and English Soup or the Battle of the Classic Trifle”

A precious opportunity to see internationally celebrated composer/performers Mike and Kate Westbrook lead The Village Band in a unique double bill of their latest compositions.

“Waxeywork Show is a phenomenal experience as the smouldering vocals of Kate Westbrook duet with edgy acoustic brass, interleaving musical images of the internet and a brash 19th century fairground, - a potent combination.”

Sunday 30 March at 2.00pm £12

Kate Westbrook and Mike Westbrook – “Ballads and Blues”

In this intimate performance, the Westbrook Duo present their unique mix of original songs, settings of William Blake, solo piano, and theatre music classics by the likes of Kurt Weill, Cole Porter and Frederick Hollander.

Pleased to meet you! There is something comforting about your music. It feels at once familiar and alien to me. Thank you!

No probs. Just heard your album Fire Shepherds and really love it. Can't believe I haven't seen you play - I lived in Liverpool for three years. Will hopefully catch you at some point this year though, I'm moving back next month. I'll be keeping an eye on your page. All the best
