Iain Lee v Radio @ Jacksons Lane
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.

From Help Refugees’ mission statement:

“Help Refugees is not simply another aid organisation. We work where governmental and other non-governmental bodies can (or will) not, filling the gaps and providing emergency aid and vital services to those affected by the global refugee crisis. We act fast to get aid and services directly and immediately to the people who need it most by identifying the most effective grassroots groups, local people, individual volunteers and refugees themselves active in the crisis and providing them with funding and support, enabling them to focus their time and energy on the vital work they do every day. Help Refugees are also operational where needed across Europe providing our experienced teams to maintain quality services and uphold dignity for refugees.”

“For many years I have admired Idit as both a singer and a teacher of singing: she brings to all her musicmaking a lively professionalism and integrity, coupled with the gift of communication which inspires others to aspire to the same high standards. I have witnessed her in action as a teacher and have seen how quickly she can achieve positive results with committed students by pinpointing the specific areas of development relevant to each individual singer – the singers themselves are frequently surprised at the speed of their progress under Idit’s tuition. I enthusiastically recommend Idit as an exceptional teacher who commands international respect.”

After dinner speaker: Annabel Leventon @ Coolhurst Tennis and Squash Club,
Jul 14 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Multi-talented actress, singer, author, director Annabel Leventon (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rock Follies) will describe some key events in her career in theatre, film and TV. She has worked at a successful level for so long that the list of actors she has worked with reads like a who’s who of British theatre, including the likes of Peter O’Toole, George Cole, and Mark Rylance. Her talk will focus on the ups and downs of creativity and how she moved from being nominated for actress of the year for her role as the leading lady in Hair! to originating the idea for a hit TV series and then to setting a legal precedent protecting the work of all creative people.

Coolhurst Speaker Evening with Penny Chalmers.

As well as chairing the Coolhurst GMC, Penny Chalmers has had two parallel careers:
consultant in Social Services, and professional opera singer.

 

In October 1996 Penny learned the leading lady had
gone ill after the second act of a Covent Garden opera,
and the understudy was abroad.
There was one chance to avert disaster.
She had minutes to decide if she would accept
their request to go on as Brünnhilde in Die Walküre,
one of the most demanding roles in the repertoire,
but one she had not prepared.
This world class production featured a cast of opera stars.
It was conducted by one of the all-time greats,
Sir Bernard Haintink, and it was being broadcast live.
Come to the speaker evening on October 12th
to hear what happened next.

Tickets are on sale at the bar at £21,or for 18 years and under,£18
