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.

nocturne – the romantic life of frederic chopin

HIGHGATEHASHEART is delighted to announce a fundraising concert, “Chopard & Champagne” on Sunday 19th November in support of vital refugee causes.

“Nocturne – The Romantic Life of Frederic Chopin is an evening of music and drama conceived by the internationally renowned concert pianist Lucy Parhamwith narrations by the celebrated actors Henry Goodman and Juliet Stevenson(a co-founder of Highgate Has Heart and local resident). The programme of words and music has been scripted and adapted from letters and diaries by Parham, chronicling the romantic life of one the greatest and most popular composers for solo piano – Frédéric Chopin. The narrative follows his turbulent relationship with the controversial literary figure George Sand, their time together in Majorca, his fragile health and his ultimate demise in poverty in Paris at the age of 39. The readings, with Frederic Chopin narrated by Goodman and George Sand by Stevenson, are interspersed with some of his most loved and poignant compositions played by Parham in the evocative setting of Lauderdale House.

Tickets includes drinks reception and concert performance.

Drinks reception from 7pm with concert starting at 8pm. The evening will end at 10pm with a short interval.

Jazz in the House: Cellicious @ Lauderdale House
Sep 22 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

 

Two cellist/jazz singers join forces to express their take on the world of standards, Latin, originals plus more.

Kate Shortt, cellist, singer songwriter, cabaret artists and comedienne is known for her avant garde improvisations and off the wall humour.

‘…Shortt’s solo took the honours. It was an unusual but impressive juxtaposition of overtones, atonality and snatches of delicate folk melodies…’ – Ian Mann, Jazz Reviewer

Rupert Gillett, multi instrumentalist, singer, composer and jazz bassist is also experienced in rock, blues and Eastern European styles.

‘…The stand out performance came from Rupert Gillett. Great cellist with comical side and songs that were instantly playing in your head…’ – Fiona Jarvis, Blue Badge Style

Sit back and enjoy this Cellicious ride from bebop to the blues and Bach again!
