A one evening Photography Exhibition
Organised by MK Islamic Arts, Heritage and Culture 


7pm / Free


 


A one evening presentation of entrants and winners work from the recent photography exhibition organised by Milton Keynes Islamic Arts and Heritage Association based on the theme of diversity and intergration in Milton Keynes.


 


The MK Islamic Arts, Heritage and Culture organisation aims to promote Islamic arts, heritage and culture through education. They believe that the study of art and material culture transcends the ethnic, linguistic and religious division that plagues the modern world. The group won the Partnerships Award from Voluntary Arts England, which recognises excellent work. Their Islamic Art Banner project enabled local art students from MK College to explore Islamic culture through contemporary and traditional art.

 Starring Tom Conti
By Terence Frisby

The author of the triumphant comedy There’s a Girl in My Soup brings us a very different treat - a murder story, a courtroom drama, a suspenseful thriller.

Television journalist James Highwood has made his career out of challenging the British Justice system in his documentary programmes. Now, suddenly, it is him who is challenged when he is brought to court on a charge of murder. Highwood admits the killing but perversely chooses to defend himself, pushing the tolerance of the court to its limits and framing his defence in terms calculated to incense the judge.

Tom Conti is brilliantly suited to the part of James Highwood in this gripping courtroom drama. With more than its share of surprising twists and turns, it will keep you guessing until the very end - not to be missed!

The Simon Hopper Band @ the Song Loft - 21st Sept

The Simon Hopper Band


Fri 21st September 2012


Location:The Song Loft, The Cock Hotel, Stony Stratford

The Song Loft welcomes back The Simon Hopper Band.

His songs are topical, wordy and intelligent.' British folk/roots artists rarely get the air-play they deserve and Simon Hopper is no exception. They do not pull any political punches and they try their damnedest to seek a deeper context or reference point in a quest for understanding. They fearlessly draw upon instruments and rhythms from outside the accepted canon.

Telling new stories through new songs with a craftsman's eye and a poet's fist. Old England is new England, and it hurts. The songs are influenced by British Folk, Joni Mitchell, Loudon Wainwright, Ron Sexsmith & Dylan. Simon has shared the stage with Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Clive Gregson & Iain Matthews, among others. Clive and Iain have gone on record in praising his craft. File, if you must, under jazz-influenced, acoustic, soul-based folk rock... or better still, just listen.

Starts 8:15pm

Entry £7

Oak Room, Cock Hotel

Tickets available on the door or contact songloft@gmail.com.
