Iain Lee v Radio @ Jacksons Lane
Tickets
Oct 8 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Award winning radio and TV presenter Iain Lee picks some of the most hilarious moments from the history of the wireless.

Why did Nicky Campbell drop himself in it when talking about foxes? What do callers to local radio REALLY think about Mayor Boris Johnson and surely old lady professors know what you can and what you most definitely can’t say on the radio?

Despite appearing on radio (Five Live, Radio 4, XFM, BBC 3 Counties) and TV (The 11 O’Clock Show, This Morning, Big Brothers Bit On The Side) for over fifteen years, this is Iain’s first solo show. Should be a right old laugh.

Bodyline post-mortem: Why did a cricket series cause an international crisis? @ Mills Centre, Highgate School
Tickets
Jul 4 @ 6:45 pm – 8:00 pm

The 1932-33 England cricket tour of Australia was one of the most widely reported of all time.  During a period when long-distance communications were either painfully slow or terrifically expensive, c. 130,000 words were wired across the world over a three-day period, costing a small fortune.  Nor did interest in the tour wane within a few years, and even today, over eighty years after the victorious English side left Australia, more is written about this series than any other.  The reason is simple: for the first time in the history of the game, controversy that took place on the field took on a political dimension, causing Dominions Secretary, Jimmy Thomas, to later recall: ‘no politics ever introduced in the British Empire caused me so much trouble as this damn bodyline bowling’.

The talk will be given by James Newton, Head of History at Highgate School.

Brahms: A German Requiem @ St. Michael's Church
Tickets
Mar 30 @ 7:30 pm – 8:45 pm

Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Ein Deutsches Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warm, rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the deaths of his mother, and his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and joy. Unlike other well known requiems, Brahms’ is not so much a mass for the dead as an offering of solace to those who mourn.

Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, with soprano Ellie Sperling and baritone Jamie Sperling, using Iain Farrington’s acclaimed arrangement of the score for chamber ensemble. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.

There will be a bar open before and after the performance, and Voxcetera hopes you’ll stay to join us for wine and cake when the music finishes.

Voxcetera is a north London-based choir performing regularly in north and central London. Recent activity includes concerts at St Martin-in-the-fields, East Finchley Arts Festival, tours to southern Germany and recording work for Unicef’s Generations campaign. Its most recent Highgate concert was for Christmas 2018, in St Josephs RC Church.
