Swish and Style @ Jacksons Lane
Tickets
Mar 26 @ 12:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Tired of your t-shirts? Wish you had some different dresses? Save money by bringing along your unwanted (but wearable) clothes to our Swish and Style event and go home with a new-to-you outfit, all for free!

It’s simple. Have a clear out and bring good quality clothes to one of our seven events. For each item you bring, you get a token that you can exchange for another garment (maximum 10 items). Everything is free, everything is clean and everything will be re-worn and re-loved.

How it works

For the first hour (12.30 – 1.30), everyone is invited to drop off their clothes, shoes and accessories that they want to donate. Whilst we busily sort them into style and hang them on hangers, you’ll be free to check out the workshops – learning how to do simple fixes to your clothes and how to upcycle them into something completely different – a jumper becomes a hot water bottle cover, a treasured Babygro becomes a patchwork memory blanket and an old t-shirt becomes a bag. If you have any clothes that need a little TLC, bring them along and our seamstress can fix them for you for free while you wait.

The from 2pm until 3pm, you get to look through all the clothes and choose what you want. If you love it, take it. It’s first come, first served – but no elbows please!

What can you bring?

Please bring along:

  • Clean and wearable clothes, shoes and accessories
  • No damage, holes and stains
  • You can bring women’s, men’s, children’s and baby clothes
  • No underwear please, unless in sealed, unworn condition

Anything that we deem unacceptable will be given back to you and you will not be given a token. We have the right to turn away any item.

Please note only adults will be allowed at events. Parents with children under the age of 12 can bring them but they must remain under the parents’ supervision at all times.

Any clothes that are left over at the end of the event will be donated to the Salvation Army.

Crossing Continents: Ricardo Curbelo and Fiona Harrison in Concert @ Lauderdale House | England | United Kingdom

Ricardo Curbelo (Harp, Cuatro, Maracas, Vocals)
“A sheer delight to see and listen to” (Arran Music Society, 2016)

Fiona Harrison, (Classical Guitar)
“… a musician of great sensitivity both to her instrument and the mood of the music … gifted with a superbly confident technique.” (Hampshire Chronicle)

Travel on a rich and exciting musical journey with these two fine soloists.
Innovative Latin American harpist, composer and poet, Ricardo Curbelo, combines traditional music from a variety of Latin American countries, together with his own, spellbinding compositions. Vibrant, energetic and jazzy pieces contrast with more classical, enchanting melodies and tender vocals. He is delighted to share this concert with wonderful classical guitarist, Fiona Harrison, who will also present a fascinating and varied programme of music, crossing cultures and centuries from Renaissance England through to contemporary Japan.

Zoe Francis with the Jim Mullen 3 @ Lauderdale House
Tickets
May 17 @ 8:00 pm – 10:30 pm

 

Remembering Blossom Dearie

Zoe Francis (voice), Jim Mullen (guitar), Barry Green (piano) & Mick Hutton (d bass)      

Zoe Francis is “a singer to listen out for. She communicates a love and understanding of classic American song with the lightest of touches. A classy set.” – The Guardian.

Tonight she weaves new magic and wit into the repertoire of Blossom Dearie, the legendary 1950’s and 60’s American pianist/singer who was a well-loved regular at Ronnie Scott’s, where Zoe also sold out earlier this year.  Zoe’s harmonic knowledge, immaculate articulation, and ‘grip’ on time – an absolute essential for jazz musicians – wins her the admiration of her three brilliant colleagues, who are all heavyweight names on the British jazz scene.
