LUNCHTIME
RECITAL:
HARRIET ADIE
(HARP)
Thursday 15th December
1pm
£6
A busy professional harpist
for over 15 years, Harriet
Adie is known for her
intense musicality, creativity,
and focus, but
her introduction to the harp
was far from conventional.
Harriet first began lessons in
Oman in the Middle East,
where fishing wire proved a
suitable replacement for any
broken harp strings!
Now, as an accomplished
chamber musician, Harriet
has performed with
renowned cellist Julian Lloyd-
Webber, and was for many
years, a member of the
Swan Duo with cellist Jessica
Burroughs. Harriet is a
founding member of the
internationally recognized
ensemble 4 Girls 4 Harps,
whose music has been
broadcast on Classic FM,
BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3
and BBC Radio 4, as well as
across the world as far as
Australia and the USA.

DR. ANNIE GRAY:
SERVING
WINSTON - THE
LIFE AND TIMES
OF GEORGINA
LANDEMARE
Friday 16th December
7.30pm
£17
Dr. Annie Gray is one of
Britain's leading food
historians. She is a panelist
on BBC Radio 4's The
Kitchen Cabinet and
appears on TV, including
The Victorian Bakers and
food programmes with
Nigel Slater, Heston
Blumenthal and James
Martin.
Georgina Landemare was
the longest serving cook for
Churchill across Downing
Street, Chequers and
Chartwell. The talk will cover
her life and career along
with the food she cooked,
the impact of rationing at
No. 10, and the relationship
she had with her illustrious
employers.
The talk is both a celebration
of a determined cook, and a
reminder that behind every
great man lies a woman who
can make a mean custard.

THE KITES
Saturday 17th December
7.30pm
£6
Combining a classic rock
grit with the tongue twistingvocal
delivery of Arctic
Monkeys at full-velocity,
Leeds teenagers The Kites
are bringing a musical
philosophy to the
Courthouse that is wise
beyond their years.
They have a distinctive indiepop
sensibility that’s
complimented by a rocking
musical pedigree which
makes them both accessible
and endlessly unique.
With more releases planned
for 2022 and 2023, this live
performance gives local
audiences the privileged
opportunity to see a
vivacious live band hit the
ground running.
The proceeds from The
Kites' gig will be donated to
Cancer Research UK,
helping to tackle children’s
cancer.
