Another delight from Hand to Mouth Theatre, and a chance to remember forgotten fun and make new memories with all the family!

This warm and nostalgic show is based around a Bric-a Brac market stall where Mr Shabby and Mrs Chic try to teach a new dog old tricks and solve the Mystery of Memory Lane.

Telling stories, singing songs, using tin toys, hand-carved marionettes, seaside Punch and Judy puppets and playing vintage musical instruments they eventually restore the memory of the lost Puppet Dog Toby and find out where he belongs.

"A charming doubleact.....there's an easy, particular and charismatic quality to Hand to Mouth that is hard to resist." Polka Theatre, Wimbledon

Vaughan Williams  Symphony No. 1 A Sea Symphony

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra return to close the Festival again in 2019 with an exciting evening drawing together the air and the sea, under the direction of Martyn Brabbins, music director of English National Opera.

Walton's rousing and patriotic Spitfire Prelude and Fugue opens the concert - a celebration of one of the nation's favourite aircraft.

Moving to the sea, we then hear Britten's Four Sea Interludes, taken from his opera Peter Grimes. Finally the orchestra and Spring Festival Chorus are joined by two of Britain?s leading singers, Sophie Bevan and Roderick Williams, for a performance of Vaughan-Williams? A Sea Symphony. The firstsymphony by Vaughan Williams set the stage for a new era of symphonic and choral music in Britain during the first half of the 20th century.

Have you got an idea for a mini set on Friday? That would be great and we will try to fit in as many mini sets as we can.

We have a PA, music stands, music books and a great stage set up so come along and join in the friendly and supportive atmosphere and play or sing.

If you are not a muso, just get in a party mood and support the musos as you always do.

There is a bar with good prices and don't forget that it is only £2 towards our costs to get it. Who else can say that after 16 years the price is the same.

We hope to see you there,

George and Andy
