Kingston Chamber OrchestraKingston Parish Church, Market Square, Kingston upon Thames
Concert - Saturday 15th March
7.30pm - Kingston Parish Church
Market Place, Kingston-upon-Thames
Conductor: Andy Meyers  
Bass Clarinet: Helen Oughtibridge
Schubert: Rosamunde Overture
Meyers: Concerto for Bass Clarinet
(First Performance)
Beethoven: Symphony No 5
Tickets £10 (£7 Concessions) - Including a programme and a glass of wine.

New Concerto for Bass Clarinet by KCO’s Conductor – Andy Meyers Solo Bass Clarinet: Helen Oughtibridge
There are very few concertos for the bass clarinet but here is an opportunity to witness the premier of a new work for this wonderful but under-utilised instrument.  Andy Meyers was inspired to write this work, after hearing Helen Oughtibridge give a spectacular performance of a solo Bass Clarinet piece in a recital.  Andy describes his compositional style as neo-romantic, no squeaky gates but a fusion of contemporary tonal styles with a bit of jazz thrown in.  This 25-minute work is in one continuous movement, but it incorporates the traditional three-movement concerto plan, forwards then backwards with a central cadenza that contains a surprising musical feature! 
Helen studied Clarinet & Bass Clarinet at Trinity College of Music, gaining First Class Honours in 2003.  In 2004, she was awarded a Trinity College scholarship to complete her Postgraduate studies.  Competition successes have included the Wilfred Hambleton Award, the Gladys Puttick Improvisation Prize and woodwind finalist in the Tunbridge Wells Young Concert Artist Competition. The concert is framed by two well-known classical masterpieces – Schubert’s energetic Rosamunde Overture and Beethoven’s dramatic Fifth Symphony.  This concert will certainly be a night to remember!

 Adam Wedd & The Independents www.myspace.com/adamweddandtheindependents
"Distinguished singer-song writers are hard to come by. Often there is little to separate a busker on the streets of Tottenham Court Road from a multi-platinum artist playing Wembley Arena. What makes Kingston born Adam Wedd stand out from the crowd is his ability to fuse pop in its purest form with jazz inspired melodies. Perhaps his finest attribute is his singing voice which is as British as cups of tea and digestive biscuits. Every hook laden song leaves you recollecting the joys of your early childhood when one would jump in puddles and kick through piles of leaves. Adam plays with a regular assortment of gifted close friends which includes a full backing band and a flute player." -Luke Das For booking please email adamwedd@hotmail.com- you will get a most warm reply!

The Waggon & Horses Surbiton

The Waggon and Horses SurbitonThe Waggon & Horses is at 1 Surbiton Hill Road, Surbiton, Surrey, KT6 4TW.

Waggon and Horses, which can trace its history back to 1807, was recently taken over by brother and sister duo Stephen and Mary King. A lovely traditional pub in the centre of Surbiton with private room and patio garden.
This character pub offers excellent all home-made cuisine.

Situated at the bottom of a steep hill, in the late 1800s the Waggon drew most of its trade from the carriers resting their horses before climbing up the hill. Infact, during the 19th Century an extra horse was even kept at the pub to help any waggoner with the ascent.

Bacchus Late Bar & Venue   www.bacchuslatebar.co.uk

20 years ago saw the opening of Bacchus as a Blues wine bar, and by the late 80’s, the venue introduced DJ’s playing the sounds of Funk and Disco. More live gigs were to follow in the early 90’s including Indie/Rock bands such as Dodgy, Kula Shaker and The Bluetones, all of whom went on to enjoy great chart success.This combination of DJ and gig nights has continued, and today the current crop of local bands can be seen at the venue as well as regular DJ nights of Alternative/Rock, Hip-Hop/Funk, Disco/Cheese etc.Throughout the years, Bacchus has kept its promise of being Kingston’s true alternative music venue for both students and regulars alike, and has embodied the real meaning of its name, the Roman God of wine and intoxication.
