Anne McNeill Pulati Allegories and Metaphors @ Highgate Gallery
Sep 16 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Anne McNeill Pulati – Allegories and Metaphors

16-29 September 2022

Anne McNeill Pulati uses the figure as a vehicle, metaphorically and pictorially, in her creative practice. These images are her personal reflections of human experience and spirituality.

Inspiration and research for the work includes ancient and modern belief systems, myths and legends, and cultural variations from around the world, particularly regarding the journey of the soul.  For many years she has been interested in metaphor and often incorporates motifs and symbols, ignoring compositional perspectives and using metaphysical landscapes.

Symbols which are commonly understood, such as figures, angels, flowers, rivers, and shadows appear frequently. Anne states that she is principally a colourist. The medium of paint offers her the freedom to tell a narrative through colours, textures and surfaces and allows an immediacy that encourages her imagination.

Art-making has enabled Anne to develop an understanding of the journey in life which she follows.  The essence of Quakerism sits in her life’s journey.  The making of a painting has come, for her, from a place which at that point is a “story beginning to unfold.”

Through the act of creativity, I enter a process which delivers something that usually surprises me and also is not consciously designed.  In this process, I receive insights and a fulfillment only by entering this activity.”

She believes that we all have gifts that are not our own, but are to share, and which may possibly benefit others.  The fact that we should share our gifts is the point, and it is usually fear of failure that stops us.  She says: “It doesn’t matter what you share, it’s the intention behind it that people will see.” In showing her work she hopes that those who see it, will be able to ponder on their own responses.

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!

Jazz in the House 2022: Carol Grimes & Friends @ Lauderdale House
Oct 6 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Carol Grimes performs excerpts from her autobiography ‘The Singer’s Tale’ alongside a talented band of musicians: Alison Rayner (bass), Deirdre Cartwright (guitar), Steve Lodder (piano) and Winston Clifford (drums).

‘The Singer’s Tale’ depicts Carol’s life as a musician, following her days as a busking musician to performing at some of London’s best-known venues. The singer’s Tale is an emotional roller coaster that is challenging and inspirational.

Carol Grimes is a British singer, songwriter, poet and author, a towering presence in the UK music scene; from busking in the streets as a teenager to touring internationally with the contemporary classical group The Shout and her two solo albums in Memphis, it is safe to say Carol is a truly genre-busting artist. Having turned to jazz and blues, her music embraces drama and love.

Might drivers walk or cycle? @ Highgate Sopciety

10A South Grove N6 6BS and on Zoom – Register for both on https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/might-drivers-walk-or-cycle-tickets-409886711187

Electric cars will be vital to London achieving net zero carbon targets because of reluctance of drivers to walk and cycle, according to David Metz, Professor of Centre for Transport Studies at UCL. This reluctance is illustrated by Highgate’s resistance to Haringey and Camden’s plans to encourage walking and cycling, arguably for good reasons including demography, suburban location, topography and road layouts. David has been described as a “guru” in understanding how people travel and his new book “Good to Go, Decarbonising Travel after the Pandemic” puts all of this into perspective, particularly his research in Copenhagen and other cities. The book has been described as “a tour de force survey from one of our most thoughtful transport experts”. He shows how the car will remain important and how transport planners and modelers keep focusing on the wrong thing in looking at time savings. Decarbonising will thus require a new way of thinking; no easy answers but lots of options.

Karen Sharp, a multiple award winner and prominent artist on the jazz scene will be appearing with her long established line-up of Nikki Iles, Dave Green and Steve Brown – world class musicians who also happen to be great friends.
This year the band are really excited to be celebrating their 10th anniversary (postponed from 2020!) by playing some of their favourite festivals, jazz clubs and special venues across the country.

Together they create a unique sound that is warm, spontaneous and exciting, incorporating free flowing improvisation with almost telepathic ensemble playing. The quartet have recorded two albums to date, ‘Spirit’ and ‘The Sun, the Moon and You’ both of which include familiar, lesser-known and original tunes showcasing the unique spirit of a band with a shared passion for strong melodies, group interplay and respect for the jazz tradition.
