SUMMARY:NYE BANFIELD TRAILS AND TRACES
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS\n\nWORLD JAZZ LIVE SESSIONS AT THE TOWER – Hosted by Maiuko \nDebut Album Launch ‘Trails and Traces’ \nComing off the back of powerful performances at Love Supreme Festival\, Pizza Express and The 606 to name a few; this quartet creates a gripping and intense experience that rips up the rule books and speaks from a combined beating heart. \nNYE BANFIELD\nHailing from rural Leicestershire with Welsh roots\, Nye is a profoundly creative saxophonist and composer bringing a fresh perspective to South East London. Through his music\, Nye paints visceral scenes from his life and the people around him. A graduate of Trinity Laban\, Nye combines influences from jazz icons Wayne Shorter\, Ambrose Akinmusire\, and mentor Mark Lockheart\, as well as wider sources of inspiration from the pastoral works of Vaughan Williams to song writing of Damon Albarn. \nDescribed by Headfirst Bristol as “a smart and original composer who knows both the roots of modern jazz and where he intends to take his own music”\, Nye takes you on a vivid journey of richly textured composition and lyrical improvisation. Nye’s tenor sound\, a focus of his over the last 10 years\, is earthy\, broad and incredibly expressive\, providing a focal point to the band’s combined timbre. \nTHE BAND\nFor this performance\, Nye will be at the helm of an impressively exciting quartet. Featuring a trio of ‘Moores’\, the rhythm section holds all the tools to set the stage alight. Brothers Ewan and Robbie\, on drums and piano lead their own project ‘Bigheadmode’\, and play with a synchronicity that can only be achieved through shared genetics. Hamish Nockles-Moore completes the quartet\, providing raw creativity and a barrage of energy from bass. \nThe quartet has toured the country receiving high praise from listeners\, receiving quotes such as: \n“My heart needed your music last night.. it was by far one of my favourite jazz club encounters to date”. \n“The Nye Banfield sextet blew up a storm at Pizza Express.” \nTHE ALBUM  – ‘Trails and Traces’ \nDropping on vinyl in January 2024\, this will be Nye’s debut LP. Featuring ‘Banger Factory’ leader Mark Kavuma on trumpet\, the performances from the sextet are richly diverse in influences. An infusion of flavours from 60s Blue Note records\, 90s Radiohead\, 20th century classical music and contemporary New York Jazz combine to create an intensely gripping sound. \nThe musicians on the record breathe life into every corner of Nye’s compositions. The rhythm section features virtuosos Rupert Cox on piano\, Hamish Nockles-Moore on double bass and Ewan Moore on drums. They have the dexterity to deliver subtlety and a sensitivity of space for the nostalgia of tracks ‘Four Years Later’ and ’E11’\, whilst also having the grit to bring an onslaught of energy to ‘Bellarom Gold’ and ‘Rockhopper’. Mark Kavuma brings a touch of class to the palette\, offering a few hard-bop style solos\, a cool shift from the undeniably modernness of the group. The sextet is complemented by young talent Wilf Diamond on trombone who brings a warm soulfulness to the mix. \nAway from the music\, the product itself has been given a lot of thought and care. The sessions were engineered and mixed by twice Mercury Prize nominated Sonny Johns (Dinosaur\, Portico Quartet)\, and subsequently mastered by World Circuit legend Tom Leader (Buena Vista Social Club\, Kate Bush). The record was then cut at Abbey Road Studios and pressed by Optimal Media in Germany\, altogether producing a record with real\, tangible quality. \nThe cover features a piece by Sonia Stanyard. Green silk-screened paper is torn\, spliced and reconfigured to explore how limitation can create freedom. Nye relates to her process\, using form and structure combined with spontaneity to create expressive art. \nNye Banfield – tenor sax\nRobbie Moore – piano\nHamish Nockles Moore –  double bass\nEwan Moore – drums \nhttps://www.nyebanfield.co.uk/ \nDoors open 6.30p.m. unreserved seating

SUMMARY:ABIGAIL'S PARTY
DESCRIPTION:FHODS are proud to present Abigail’s Party\, Mike Leigh’s masterpiece of 70s theatre that gives the audience a chilling yet hilarious glimpse into a suburban soirée that turns to tension and tragedy. \nBeverly and Laurence are a married couple whose love language is passive aggression\, and things come to a cringe-inducing head when their friends and neighbours\, Angela and Tony\, come over for drinks and nibbles with a side of hostility. \nWhen Susan joins the melting pot to get away from her teenage daughter Abigail’s birthday party a few doors down\, the audience get to witness the hilarious chaos that comes to a head when five people who have nothing in common and no love for each other are pushed into a claustrophobic\, obnoxiously decorated living room and pumped full of booze. \nExpect drama\, hilarity\, cutting dialogue and an abject\, unforgettable lesson in how to host the house party from hell! \nThursday 9th November – Saturday 11th November 7.30p.m. start \nStalls \nAdults £16 | Members £14\nGallery\nAdults £14 | Members £12\nDoors open one hour before the performance

SUMMARY:Mark Simpson will be joined by Richard Uttley (piano) to perform a fascinating programme of his compositions alongside the two Brahms Clarinet Sonatas.  
DESCRIPTION:The world-renowned clarinettist\, composer\, Folkestone resident and President of Bayle Music\, Mark Simpson will be joined by Richard Uttley (piano) to perform a fascinating programme of his compositions alongside the two Brahms Clarinet Sonatas.\n\nNoted for the integrity and breadth of his musicianship as soloist\, chamber musician and recording artist\, Richard Uttley has been recognised for his ‘musical intelligence and pristine facility’ (International Record Review)\, ‘amazing decisiveness’\, and ‘tumultuous performance’ (Daily Telegraph).\n\nSince winning both the BBC Young Composer and Musician of the Year – the only artist to have done so – Mark has established himself as a major voice on the international stage\, with a worldwide reputation for both his playing and writing. Yet\, it would be wrong to describe Mark as either a clarinettist or composer. His musical life is a symbiosis of his performing on the concert platform and pouring over his manuscripts.\n\nTickets are available at Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mark-simpson-clarinet-richard-uttley-piano-tickets-714492705917

SUMMARY:DEVOTED AND DISGRUNTLED (EAST KENT) - WHO NEEDS THEATRE?
DESCRIPTION:Invitation from Oliver Senton\, Theatremaker living and working in Kent… \nYour chance to meet theatremakers from all over East Kent\, and air all the passions\, irritations and grievances you might want to air. \nEast Kent is bursting with people who make and share live art of many different kinds: theatremakers\, writers and actors; producers\, educational groups and directors; lighting and sound designers\, outreach charities\, stage managers and more. But most of those talented and active artists don’t seem to know what most of the others are doing. \nFor years\, theatre in East Kent has struggled in the shadow of London; making work for local audiences is sneered at in comparison to the metropolis\, and Arts Council grants take precedence over regional collaboration\, co-production and responsibility to our immediate communities. But there are more than enough venues\, audiences and makers for this to change. There is no reason why\, if connections and communication between us were good enough\, there shouldn’t be loads of great theatre performed and toured within East Kent\, and more local audiences watching locally-made work. \nHow do we build this new model? How can companies and venues from Dover to Deal\, Folkestone to Margate\, Ashford to Canterbury work together to build East Kent’s own ecology? Or do you want more localised models\, theatre for small communities? Is theatre a luxury anyway\, in difficult times when many are struggling to pay bills? And does our region deserve it as much as anyone else? One thing is certain – if we don’t do anything about it\, resources elsewhere are going to get more scarce\, and money even scarcer. We have to help each other to survive\, and to thrive. \nIf you are able and would like to\, you can create a ‘golden ticket’ for someone who may not otherwise be able to attend. For more information please contact dandd@woofbarkdonkey.com \nAge Restrictions\nNo Age Restriction \nTickets\nPay what you decide\n£0\n£5\n£10\n£15 \nBook this event online or email the box office at boxoffice@creativefolkestone.org.uk
