Venue: Theatre Royal map Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: Saltlines - The Gigspanner Big Band & Raynor Winn - 7.30pm - The Salt Path is Raynor Winn’s Sunday Times best-selling memoir of walking the South West Coast Path in its entirety, under the weight of personal tragedy and misfortune. It has won global praise for its 'against all odds' uplifting message, and its frank exploration of the reality of homelessness. The Salt Path is one couple's story, but such a well-trodden path must hold many more stories of loss, love and the natural world. Perhaps these stories could be found in the form of traditional songs and tunes that have been left behind and saved for us due to the diligence of song collectors such as Cecil Sharp and Sabine Baring-Gould. This seed of an idea has developed into an exciting collaboration between Raynor Winn and The Gigspanner Big Band, a collective of some of the most high-profile names on the British folk scene. |

Venue: St Paul's Church map Address: St Paul's Hill, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22 5AB Event: ORBIT- contemporary jazz group - 8pm - ROBERT CARTER brings his exciting new jazz project to Winchester. St. Paul's Church, St. Paul's Hill, Winchester S022 5AB 21st October 2022 8pm. Online tickets £15 from orbit-jazz.eventbrite.co.uk. Making its debut at St. Paul’s church in Winchester, Orbit, a new contemporary jazz group, is the brainchild of veteran pianist Robert Carter. Their repertoire is not the usual jazz fare, and is an amalgam of influences from around the world - medieval Constantinople, Irish folk songs, reggae, music from Latin America and north Africa, all interwoven with the band’s original compositions. The line-up is unusual too; apart from Carter’s piano, there is Lewis Wood on violin, Patrick Naylor on guitar and Iqbal Pathan on tabla, all masters of their craft. Orbit’s experimental yet highly accessible approach to jazz is guaranteed to delight and surprise. |
