The Titfield Thunderbolt
Adapted by Philip Goulding from the Ealing Comedy screenplay by TEB Clarke
The branch line between Mallingford and Titfield is losing money and
British Rail is intent on closing it down. In desperation the villagers
exploit the 1947 Transport Act and decide to take charge and run
it themselves - with a train resurrected from a local museum! As
well as convincing the railway authorities that they are competent to
work the line, they have to face problems from Vernon Crump who
is set on providing a competitive bus service.

All aboard for a rollicking evening of hilarious nostalgia!

Arts In The Bar Jazz
Monday 20 September
The Dizzy Club
You are just as likely to find The Dizzys performing for a club full of twenty something cool cats or to an audience of Trad Jazz fans. Their repertoire is full of artistic contradictions. With influences of Hot Club, 40’s swing, Blue note Soul and Sinatra often with Latin rhythms gives them an edge most bands would die for.

Monday 18 October
Verona Chard
Taking as its main theme and inspiration the words of William Shakespeare, FEVER features arrangements of music by John Dankworth, Galt MacDermot, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, Humphrey Lyttelton, Hirsch and Kaplan, Elton John, Ann Ronell plus Cooley and Davenport and Verona will be playing some of these songs plus newly arranged material all inspired by ‘The Bard’.

Monday 15 November
The Dark Side of the Lounge
The lush phased electric piano, sultry vibes and bossa beat married up with sub-harmonic bliss and sensual vocalsto create what we know now as “The Dark Side of the lounge”. A classic rock anthem given the Frank Sinatra treatment, an electro masterpiece goes Austin Powers, Britpop meets bhangra, urban r&b floorfiller now latin-luster… contempory classics with a sexy funky facelift.

Monday 13 December
Nicola Farnon
A classic singer/double bass player - whether in the Ella Fitzgerald swing or Dusty Springfield soul mould - and widely recognised as one of the classiest and accomplished jazz/swing vocalists in the UK Nicola is currently making a name for herself on the international scene with her ‘Divas of Song’ show. Appearing with Chris Walker – guitar Henrik Linnemann – Flute

Reinhardt.

Monday 21 February 2011
