Sara Dowling has been nominated by the British Jazz Awards as one of the 5 top jazz vocalists of 2018. Since her performance at the Swanage Jazz Festival in 2018, she has been unstoppable. Deeply inspired by the repertoire of the classic American songbook, her most important influences are Sarah Vaughan and Betty Carter. And yet, as the clubs who have been booking her regularly in and over the past couple of years – Ronnie Scott’s, the 606 and the Cinnamon Club – have spotted, there really is something different, special and fresh about her. Sara is joined by Ross Stanley on piano, Dario Di Lecce on bass and Steve Brown on drums.
“Sara is now a real force of nature within UK jazz with surely a great future ahead of her” – Jazz Views
“Her voice has all the qualities that you find in the great singers.” – Guy Barker
“Rarely does a jazz singer grace our scene with such breathtaking authenticity and natural flair. Dowling is this thing.” – Ian Shaw
Shadowman: Surrealist Artworks by Patrick Hourihan. 11– 24 October 2019
An exhibition about a Surrealist journey and its discoveries.
‘Inside Patrick Hourihan’s skull there nestles a mental coral reef alive with magical images of unknown dramas and unfamiliar conflicts. His private world is as intense, as complicated and as visually captivating as anything the ocean reefs have to offer. His technical wizardry allows him to explore this world of the unconscious and permits us to eavesdrop on its many perverse and contradictory scenes. His work has the special merit of being instantly recognisable as his. No other artist comes close to his imagery. An intrepid internal explorer, he is quite splendidly alone in his voyages of irrational beauty.’ Desmond Morris, April 2019.
This selection of paintings, drawings and boxed found objects represents the work of London-based Surrealist Patrick Hourihan. He has used automatic drawing and other channels of accidental discovery as a way to unlock the poetic potential and sense of the Marvellous that awaits in seemingly mundane and unexpected situations of everyday life. The spirit of the Shadowman exhibition seduces the viewer to look through newly opened windows with the dreamer’s innocent eye.
Patrick Hourihan is London born. He studied at the Watford School of Art. He has been creating imaginative worlds since childhood, leading to a love of Surrealism while at college. He was, for a number of years, an active member of the Surrealist London Action Group (SLAG).

These world-class musicians perform their highly anticipated debut concert together, creating a fresh take on their specially chosen compositions. They each have recent albums which are enjoying great critical acclaim. This promises to be a very special evening of sublimely beautiful music.
Shinya Fukumori – drums
Andrew McCormack – piano
The programme will feature compositions by both musicians. Yokohama Calling are very excited to be facilitating this unique meeting of musical talent and the possibilities it will bring.
“Fukumori is among the most poetic of drummers, his light touch lending only the necessary textures and rhythms: reminiscent of the late, great drummer Paul Motian, a frequent contributor to ECM recordings.” – Mark Sullivan, allaboutjazz
“The words classy and eloquent immediately spring to mind when you listen to pianist Andrew McCormack.” – Selwyn Harris, Jazzwise
“McCormack is a brilliant British pianist and composer.” – Giles Peterson, BBC Radio 6 Presenter
“Fukumori is capable of driving proceedings along in a more traditional and swinging manner, but here the emphasis is on a more intimate level, engaging in a deep yet contemplative conversation with his fellow musicians.” – Nick Lea, jazzviews
Yokohama Calling is a UK based operation working with Japanese artists to promote Japanese music and culture outside of Japan. The vision is to bring UK and Japanese artists together – to foster the spirit of collaboration, to create new bonds and make great music.

A show of Original Prints from Adult Printmaking Classes at Hampstead School of Art & Print NW6 Studio, curated by printmaking tutor Theresa Pateman.
The definition of an Original Print, as opposed to Giclée or Inkjet Print, is that the artist/printmaker would have some part in hand-making the final image, working from a surface or matrix of metal, wood, plastic, or card. Once ink is rubbed or rolled in/onto this matrix, the image can be transferred and reproduced onto any other surface – in this case paper.
“Scratching and Etching” are processes used to create Intaglio Prints. All original prints, unlike Giclée Prints, require much more intervention and heartache grappling with these methods from start to finish.There are professionals and beginners alike within this collective, many of them are local to the area.
As a group they have shown at HSA, University Women’s Club, Millfield Art Centre, Burgh House & Kingsgate Workshops Gallery.
Techniques used in this show include: Drypoint, Etching, Mezzotints, Monoprints, Photo-etching and Relief Printing.

Anna Ovsyanikova (violin)
Chris Hotson (piano)
The recital is based around the relatively unknown composer Mathieu Crickboom. He is the dedicatee of Eugene Ysaÿe’s sonata number 5, with which we open the recital. A colleague and friend of Ysaÿe, Chausson, Debussy, d’Indy amongst others, Crickboom dedicated his Esquisses Op. 1 to Ernest Chausson. We also include Chausson’s rarely performed “Pièce”. Crickboom’s unpublished work “Doux” concludes the first half.
After the interval we will perform Crickboom’s Ballade, Romance, as well as Enrique Granados’s sonata, and conclude the recital with Crickboom’s epic sonata for violin and piano.
Anna Ovsyanikova (violin) and Chris Hotson (piano) began playing together in 2006 while they were both students at the Birmingham Conservatoire. Since then Anna and Chris have given numerous recitals across the UK. Anna is pursuing a doctorate degree at the Royal College of Music, for which she is exploring the unknown music of Mathieu Crickboom.
Mathieu Crickboom (1871-1947) was a Belgian violinist, composer and pedagogue. Concert violinist, chamber musician (who have played second violin in Ysaÿe String Quartet – premiered Debussy’s string quartet; set up his own Crickboom String Quartet – premiered Chausson’s concert for violin, piano and string quartet; played trio with Enrique Granados and Pablo Casals), orchestral leader – at La Monnaie in Brussels, composer, editor of music, pedagogue – extensive list of students and several violin treatises, concert series organiser (he was in charge of Catalan Philharmonic society for 9 seasons), artistic director and contributor to the music magazine La Tribune Musicale in Brussels.

Image: Abstract Painting oil on canvas 90x90cm David Taylor 2019. All rights reserved
In this group show, Samantha Laub, Jason Sweidan and David Taylor present vibrant abstract paintings, influenced by abstract expressionism. The paintings demonstrate distinctive emotional responses to the natural.
Samantha, Jason and David have been developing a set of unique styles in close interaction with each other – all with strong colour use. The theme of present and remembered emotion displays their distinctive styles whilst drawing on a common theme.
Samantha’s works begin as spontaneous outpouring of energy and emotion that she then develops and refines into finished pieces. Her paintings are visceral, full of movement and texture.
Jason applies oil on canvases to construct and deconstruct images that reflect elements of nature. His paintings are predominantly fluid, physical and textured using gravity to allow the paint to evolve.
David’s work reflects memories of the natural in which strong colour use is combined with loose natural references that evoke a sense of fluidity, water or landscape.

Onceupona Theatre presents The Stolen Dragon. Join Adventuretellers Brooke Conway and Hannah Mathieson on a story-quest to save the golden dragon and her newly laid eggs from the grasps of a lonely wizard. Together you will conquer fears and face mystical characters, travelling through jungles, enchanted forests, lagoons and snow storms ‘til you reach the wizard’s ruined tower in the snowy mountains. Can you save the dragon, or will we be trapped in an eternal winter forever?
“Brooke mesmerises the children who become part of her show…” Primary Times
“Magical! …It was an amazing thing to see my quiet and shy child transformed into a story teller, dancer, actor – a performer!” Early Years Advisor

In this group show, Samantha Laub, Jason Sweidan and David Taylor present vibrant abstract paintings, influenced by abstract expressionism. The paintings demonstrate distinctive emotional responses to the natural.
Samantha, Jason and David have been developing a set of unique styles in close interaction with each other – all with strong colour use. The theme of present and remembered emotion displays their distinctive styles whilst drawing on a common theme.
Samantha’s works begin as spontaneous outpouring of energy and emotion that she then develops and refines into finished pieces. Her paintings are visceral, full of movement and texture.
Jason applies oil on canvases to construct and deconstruct images that reflect elements of nature. His paintings are predominantly fluid, physical and textured using gravity to allow the paint to evolve.
David’s work reflects memories of the natural in which strong colour use is combined with loose natural references that evoke a sense of fluidity, water or landscape.
