Jazz in the House: Pete Oxley / Nicolas Meier Guitar Project
For this special Jazz in the House evening, Pete and Nick will feature their new album of original music: ‘Mercurial Indigo’ and will be joined by the great rhythm section of Andy Hamill on acoustic & electric basses (and chromatic harmonica) and Paul Cavaciuti on drums.
The Oxley-Meier Guitar Project, formed by guitarists Pete Oxley and Nicolas Meier, is a unique band that successfully melds contemporary jazz with ‘world-music’. They together create a huge variety of textures and soundscapes, from Middle Eastern influenced music to raucous Brazilian-inspired sambas, using an unusual range of guitars between them – including fretless nylon, acoustic and electric 12 strings, sitar-guitar and 11-string fretless.
Both are internationally acclaimed musicians and they have played all the major UK venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, Wigmore Hall, The Sage, Musicport World Music Festival and the London Jazz Festival. They have also toured widely across Europe, presenting the music from all five of their CD releases.

The Piaf Story is an acoustic storytelling performance about the life of Edith Piaf and the songs that shaped her career by singer Susan Black accompanied by pianist Aled Thomas.
From the slums of Belleville, Paris to the top of the Eiffel Tower singing ‘Non je ne regrette rien’ just before she died, Susan Black relates the dramatic story of Edith Piaf.
Susan will share anecdotes about Edith’s lovers, joys and tragedies as she sings ‘Les Chansons Réalistes,’ the songs for which Edith is so remembered, including ‘La Vie en Rose,’ ‘Hymne à l’amour’ and ‘Non je ne regrette rein.’
Accompanied by her pianist Aled Thomas, The Piaf Story is an intimate view into a remarkable woman’s life whose voice enabled her to survive through adversity and still has an impact on us today.

One of the UK’s most compelling jazz partnerships, don’t miss an evening with singer Sarah Moule and pianist-composer Simon Wallace.
For more than 25 years they have toured theatres, clubs and festivals presenting their unique repertoire of highly acclaimed songs by Simon and the late great lyricist Fran Landesman. This is performed alongside innovative reinterpretations of classic material from Duke Ellington to Smoky Robinson and Paul Simon. Their last five albums have drawn widespread acclaim, including a five-star review in The Observer, and lavish praise from critics on both sides of the Atlantic.
“Superb interpretations… impressionistic, floating, wildly romantic.” – Peter Quinn.
“Massive talent and perfect technique… Moule stands in the top flight of UK vocalists. Every Wallace solo was understated storytelling perfection, each note existing in acres of space.” – Jazz UK.

Churchill said it was riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma: can we ever understand Russia?
What is to be Done?’ is a question Russians have asked themselves many times over the last two centuries. Sharing their ideas over a lifetime of reading and writing, author Lesley Chamberlain spotlights the difficulties and asks whether there’s an answer.
Lesley Chamberlain studied Russian and German in England and was a Reuters correspondent in Moscow 1978-79 before embarking on a freelance career. While reviewing for many national and international publications and writing and broadcasting on BBC radio she has published over twenty books. They reflect approaches to Russia by way of food, literature, travel, history, philosophy and fiction. Titles include The Food and Cooking of Russia, Motherland A Philosophical History of Russia and most recently a novel The Mozhaisk Road Russian Heart of Darkness.

Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.
The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.
Adrian Hemming at Highgate Gallery opening times:
Friday 14 November: 13.00 – 17.00
Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 November: 10.00 – 16.00

Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.
The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.
