BOOKINGS NOW OPEN FOR –The
Price to Pay BY IAN HORNBY
Bookings are now open for
our next production – a thriller by Ian Hornby called The Price to Pay and directed by Graham Hough. Opening night is Tuesday 10th March running to
Saturday 14th March. Graham says this about the play " Roger and
Laura are just an ordinary married couple. Why then do a man and a woman,
posing as police, kidnap Laura and keep her captive in a run-down farmhouse?
After all, Roger has no money. The plot unfurls and we share Roger`s and
Laura`s private agonies and uncertainties. The police are called, but their
motives do not always seem in Laura`s best interests. It is left to Laura and
Roger to effect the final solution, but there is a price to pay, and their
lives will never be the same again."
Tickets at £9.00 each are
available online via http://www.danarts.org/events/davenham-players--the-price-to-pay/ or by phone on 01606
259596. Don't leave it too late to book!

THURSDAY 26TH
FEBRUARY - JAZZ @ DAVENHAM – Slowlight Quartet
Jazz@davenham, in conjunction
with Northern Line, present the Slowlight
Quartet on Thursday 26th February. The lineup is Jonathan Marriott –
drums, Ian 'dodge' Paterson – bass, Paul Lorraine – keys and Tom Quilliam – sax.
Some words about the band from bebopspokenhere blog
"How do they do it? How can you make complex, edgy, demanding music
instantly engaging? Not only that, but music that is highly expressive and
beautiful too? Well, the Slowlight Quartet may comprise of four highly
accomplished musicians each with exceptional intonation, making beautiful
sounds, but the whole is bigger than the parts. So it s not a matter of just a
locked in- tight as owt rhythm section
with a jaw droppingly wonderful saxophonist, but a band enmeshed in the
communal groove. The Slowlight Quartet share a musical brain"
On Thursday March
26th, jazz@davenham is pleased to present the RACHAEL COHEN QUARTET. Rachael
Cohen, a London-based alto saxophonist and composer, is one of the brightest
emerging stars of her generation. Her

improviser have gained her a great deal of attention in the UK and beyond. Cohen's
quartet features long-time associate James Bashford on drums, bassist Calum
Gourlay & special guest Phil Robson on guitar, one of the UK s most
celebrated musicians. Her album "Halftime" showcases a full program
of nine strikingly original compositions from the leader and a cover from the
iconic Ornette Coleman titled Just for
You .It has received multiple accolades in the press including a 4 Star review
from Jazzwise & MOJO Magazine.
