An Evening with Louis de Bernieres
Friday 12 Jul 2024, 7:30pm
Louis de Bernieres is an internationally acclaimed writer whose novel Captain Corelli’s Mandolin was made into a film.
He is also a talented poet and songwriter
He has written every book he ever intended to write when he started out in the nineties, but probably has a few more left in him. He intends to write more poetry and become more grumpy, reactionary and unreasonable as he gets older. He hopes to meet his end by being shot through the heart by a jealous lover at the age of ninety six…

Earl Okin
Friday 5 Jul 2024, 7:30pm
Earl Okin is one of the world’s finest Jazz singers. In addition, he is probably the finest performer of Bossa Nova
outside of Brazil.
Though occasionally performing with a trio, he normally performs solo, accompanying himself at the guitar or piano as most appropriate for the song.
Last but not least, he’s renowned for his legendary ‘vocal trumpet’ solos.
Based in London, Earl has given concerts around the world in theatres, clubs and festivals, and regularly performs at London’s premier Jazz Club, Ronnie Scott’s
Over his career, he has worked alongside such legends as Adelaide Hall, Benny Carter, Stephane Grappelly,
Barney Kessel and Dame Cleo Laine among others. To sum him up – the perfect sophisticated Jazz vocal cabaret!…
