SUMMARY:Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts
DESCRIPTION:Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts\n\n\n\nThis exhibition celebrates a long friendship between two artists who have contrasting styles but warmly appreciate each other’s visual language. \n\n\n\nManja Scott was born in Zagreb\, Croatia\, but lived more than a third of her adult life in Africa – Ethiopia\, Zambia\, Kenya. She came to live in the UK in 1982. With the exception of various courses in Combined Arts\, Printed Textiles\, Print Making\, she is self-taught. Her most important influences are twentieth-century art\, tribal world cultures\, and the amazing\, ever-changing beauty of nature. \n\n\n\nJeff Clarke trained through the 1950s at the Brighton College of Art and in Italy with a Prix de Rome scholarship in engraving. Later\, he etched and painted regularly in Crete alongside the role of draughtsman to the British School of Archaeology until 1996. The regular periods of vibrant sunlight had a profound effect on his work in colour\, tone and line. \n\n\n\nFor this exhibition\, both artists show a considered selection of retrospective and recent work. Manja with essentially coloured abstracts; Jeff with observed drawings in black and white\, mostly of still life and close environment. \n\n\n\nExhibition Opening \n\n\n\nWednesday 06 May from 6.00pm to 8.00pm \n\n\n\nPlease join in for drinks to celebrate the opening of this exhibition. \n\n\n\nFree event.

SUMMARY:The Easy Rollers
DESCRIPTION:The Easy Rollers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Easy Rollers\n\n\n\nDelighting audiences with their enormous repertoire of their own songwriting and arrangements\, The Easy Rollers are a septet who embody the famed spirit and consummate virtuosity of today’s booming British jazz scene and bring it straight back to the music’s roots: 1920s and ’30s Harlem\, Kansas City and New Orleans. \n\n\n\nReleased in 2025\, their critically acclaimed album ‘… And Another Thing’ – spun on BBC Radio 3 and praised internationally for its “craft\, strong ensemble work\, and a clear passion” (Jazz In Europe)  – was launched in London at a sold-out PizzaExpress Live. In 2026\, The Easy Rollers celebrate their 10th anniversary\, embarking on their most high-profile UK tour yet. \n\n\n\nFronted by the captivating Dani Sicari\, whose time-machine of a voice is evocative of early greats like Helen Kane and Ruth Etting\, The Easy Rollers have long established a reputation for delivering performances that channel the in-the-moment dynamism of the Jazz Age at the height of its cultural grandeur.  \n\n\n\nArising from their love of the tradition\, they take pride in marrying a conscientious approach to authenticity with their mission of ensuring this effervescent era of jazz is never presented merely as a nostalgic museum piece. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£20.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 06 May 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The North Wall Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe North Wall Arts Centre is an an award-winning theatre\, gallery and performing arts centre located in Summertown\, North Oxford.

DESCRIPTION:St John’s International Piano Series: Mishka Rushdie Momen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout St John’s International Piano Series: Mishka Rushdie Momen\n\n\n\nBeethoven Piano sonata no.14\, op.27 no.2 ‘Moonlight’ \n\n\n\nBeethoven Piano sonata no.28\, op.101 \n\n\n\nInterval \n\n\n\nBeethoven Piano sonata no.6\, op.10 no.2 \n\n\n\nRavel Miroirs \n\n\n\nMishka Rushdie Momen studied with Dame Imogen Cooper and with Sir András Schiff. She has appeared across the USA and Europe\, last season’s recitals including Wigmore Hall\, Aldeburgh Festival and the re-opening of the Frick Collection\, New York. \n\n\n\nHer programme includes three Beethoven piano sonatas\, from very early to late. She starts in the chronological middle with the lovely ‘Moonlight’ sonata.  \n\n\n\nThe catchy name was added by others: Beethoven himself subtitled the sonata ‘Quasi una fantasia’ and it is a kind of fantasy\, opening with a dreamy adagio\, the melody building to an aching sadness and mystery. \n\n\n\nFor her final piece\, Mishka leaves Beethoven for Ravel. Miroirs is a brilliant impressionistic work\, composed when Ravel had begun to make his mark with the public but was still battling for recognition with entrenched powers at the Paris Conservatoire.  \n\n\n\nEach one of the five movements is dedicated to a friend and fellow member of the avant-garde club Les Apaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £7.00 to £35.00 \n\n\n\nA fee of £1.50 per transaction applies to bookings for this event across all channels – website\, phone and in-person bookings at the Box Office. The fee is waived for Oxford Playhouse members. \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 07 May 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours\, including an interval. \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note that Mishka has revised her programme. It was originally to be all Beethoven – she is now playing Ravel’s Miroirs in place of Beethoven’s Piano sonata no. 32\, op. 111.

SUMMARY:The Fureys
DESCRIPTION:The Fureys\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Fureys\n\n\n\nAfter 18 previous performances\, The Fureys will play their last ever concert here as part of their Farewell Tour on Monday 11 May. \n\n\n\nLegends of Irish music & song\, The FUREYS renowned for their hit songs ‘I will love you’\, ‘When you were sweet 16’\, ‘The Green fields of France’\, ‘The old man’\, ‘Red rose café’\, ‘From Clare to here’\, ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’\, ‘Leaving Nancy’\, ‘Steal away’ etc take to our stage for the final time as part of their Farewell Tour. \n\n\n\nThe oldest of the brothers\, Eddie Furey\, left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival\, where he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty. \n\n\n\nIn 1972\, Gerry Rafferty wrote ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’ for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter\, the late John Peel\, made it his single of the year. \n\n\n\nThey are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as I Will Love You and When You Were Sweet Sixteen\, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981. \n\n\n\nEddie Furey recalls how “many musicians have told us we influenced them after hearing a record from their parents’ or grandparents’ collection”.  \n\n\n\nDave Stewart of The Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar while still a teenager. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during Dave’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey. \n\n\n\nTheir emotive songs stir many emotions\, tears and laughter\, sadness and joy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £30.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nMonday 11 May 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.

SUMMARY:Where is Mrs Christie?
DESCRIPTION:Where is Mrs Christie?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Where is Mrs Christie?\n\n\n\n‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ starring Liz Grand \n\n\n\nAgatha Christie was one of the greatest thriller writers of all time and certainly the most prolific. In 1926\, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction\, a series of events which sparked one of the biggest and most extensive police hunts in history. \n\n\n\nHer crashed car was discovered in Surrey and the famous author was missing\, presumed dead by many\, for eleven days. However\, she was eventually found at a luxury hotel in Harrogate. She claimed then\, and for the rest of her life\, that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her. \n\n\n\nActor Liz Grand presents her one-woman show ‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved? In true thriller style\, all will be revealed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £23.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 14 May 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.
