Highgate Watercolour Group at the Highgate Festival
The HWG will be showing a selection of paintings made during the ‘Lockdowns’ of
the last year. It will be available in the Highgate Society’s premises at 10A South
Grove. The group have met occasionally outside but mainly we’ve kept in touch
through Facebook. We’ve chosen a different theme each week and displayed a
selection of our members’ lovely work periodically. Recent topics have included
Nature, Spring, Dreams, Family and Travel – so an eclectic mix! Please check with
the HS for when the hall will be open to visitors.
We are delighted to be bringing Forever Plaid back once more to the Gatehouse. This ‘Heavenly
Musical’ is one of our favourites with its ‘square’ songs from the Fifties. This deliciously fun revue is
chock-full of classic quartet harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies. Songs include:
Magic Moments / Catch a Falling Star / Cry / Love is a Many Splendored Thing / Three Coins in a Fountain
