It’s time to come to All Saints again for another short lunchtime concert with lunch thrown in! German music – with English food. Music by Johann Sebastian Bach, and also his sons Carl Philipp Emanuel and Johann Christian. CPE Bach stayed in Germany, but JC Bach came to live in London – hence the English food – it all makes sense! Not to be missed. Guten Appetit.
We do hope you will be able to come. Please post your ticket request as we are keen to work out food requirements.

Poet Jeremy Kingston

Poet Jeremy Kingston, actors Penny Dimond and Gary Merry, singer John Kenton and musicians City Ramblers Revival present an eclectic evening of entertainment, courtesy of Torriano Meeting House, Kentish Town and Hearing Eye Books in celebration of poet, publisher and anarchist, the late John Rety.

Jeremy Kingston was the theatre critic of Punch for 10 years and for the past 20 years has been a theatre critic on The Times.
Two of his plays have been produced in the West End and others in the Fringe, most recently Oedipus at the Crossroads and Making Dickie Happy.
He has also written two children’s books, a novel and a collection of poems, On the Lookout.
City Ramblers Revival plays blues, skiffle and original songs and consists of Simon Prager (vocal, guitar), George Bridges (bass), Hylda Sims (vocal, guitar) and Kevin Stenson (vocal, harmonica, guitar).
Hylda was a member of the original City Ramblers, a skiffle group which played in Soho and toured in Denmark and Russia in the fifties when musicians used guitars, washboards, tea chest basses and other homemade instruments.
Penny Dimond and Gary Merry, from The New Factory of the Eccentric Actor, will be performing excerpts from Bosnian dramatist and anti-Nationalist Miroslav Jancic.

Cleo Sylvestre and Sam Blake star in two plays on one theme, of the human ability to overcome the serendipities of life.
Cleo Sylvestre stars in The Marvellous Adventures of Mary Seacole, the true story of the doughty Mary Seacole, whose passion for healing (and travelling) led her to setting up her own remarkable field centre in the Crimea, in spite of rejection by Florence Nightingale.
The Jester and the Businessman is a very modern fictional tale of a man with a talent for wheedling his way out of trouble and, amazingly, managing to save both his fortune and his sanity by playing the jester.
Playing the role is Sam Blake who, after studying English at university, uniquely furthered his education by living in the Amazon rainforest studying the mysteries of shamanic healing. He then went to study acting at East 15 Acting School, where he produced and acted in several successful productions including a riotous version of Don Quixote, which received rave reviews. As a professional actor he has appeared in several short films and touring plays; as a writer, The Jester and the Businessman is his debut production.

The owner of three restaurants, Anna Mosesson also runs ‘Cooks’ Tours’ in Italy and has had a stall at London’s famed Borough Market.
She’s been on TV in Jamie Oliver in Sweden, Channel 4 and Martha’s Kitchen in New York, but her talents don’t stop there - she sang at Placido Domingo’s 40th birthday!
A Moveable Feast is a great fun evening with singing and anecdotes whilst Anna cooks bite-sized nibbles for everyone to taste.

Award-winning piano player Zane Cronje; renowned jazz adventurer, famed from Japan to Cuba, tenor and baritone saxophonist George Haslam, and Mick O‘Connor, a very individual guitarist who plays a conspiracy of popular strands, will again be improvising to works of art by Windsor’s Artists’ Open House on September 25.
Joining them this year will be Richard Leigh Harris, who has a masters degree in piano and harpsichord and has played jazz piano with Gaucestra and Meltdown as well as free jazz legends such as Lol Coxhill, Evan Parker, Paul Rutherford and Harry Beckett.

Zane Cronje
“I love creating, and we can go completely off the wall,” enthused jazz pianist Zane Cronje. “We just improvise; we just play, but we are very much influenced by the art on show. It kicks it off.”
But though he may give you the impression that anything goes, Zane adds: “Improvisation creates more discipline. You are out there and you have to deliver. Audiences are very judgemental.”
Zane, 72, is already familiar to local audiences, having been a regular at the Fifield Inn, Fifield, The Hedsor Social Club near Bourne End, and Phyllis Court, Henley, as well as the Sir Christopher Wren House Hotel in Windsor.
A South African who has won a multitude of awards for writing scores for TV series, movies, jingles and documentaries back home, Zane was first introduced to Windsor by his niece, local singer Ginnie Hogarth, in 1974.
He thought it had a nice feel to it and when he moved to the UK to be near his sister in Eton Wick seven years ago he made his home in the town. Now his sister has moved to France but Zane, who has also been involved in the arranging and production of up and coming artists, composing and recording, said he won’t be following her. “Windsor is so convenient,” he explained.
Zane has been playing jazz since he was a kid, though classics are his first love. However, he describes himself as ‘a chameleon’ and during his career as a pianist has worked with people as diverse as Helen Shapiro, Sandy Shaw, Alma Cogan, Catarina Valente, Duane Eddy, Leapy Lee, Jimmy Edwards, and Spike Milligan.

George Haslam
Tenor and baritone saxophonist George Haslam’s music has taken him round the world. Recently voted the 19th all-time world’s greatest baritone saxophonist, he led the first British jazz group to play in Cuba, and was the first British jazz musician to play in Argentina. Both countries are now among his regular haunts, as well as the Czech Republic.

Mick O’Connor
You are just as likely to see guitarist Mick O’Connor at the Royal National Theatre, with the Royal Shakespeare Company, at the Royal Court or in television in drama, comedy and commercials. For Mick has been an actor for 22 years. However, he has been playing guitar and singing for even longer.
