On display in the West Country for the first time, the unique Elizabethan maps will be displayed in the former home of Sir Francis Drake, one of the key figures in the resistance against the Spanish Armada in 1588.

23 July Blue - Joni Mitchell Sung by Mae Karthauser

“I was utterly blown away… an absolute emotional rollercoaster..magical” Amy “In all my years I have never cried at a gig. I was crying on the first song” Martin Songwriter Mae Karthauser is lending her voice to a breathtaking new live performance: a heart wrenching tribute to Joni Mitchell’s seminal album Blue. Mae will be performing the entire Blue album, plus nine other Joni favourites from her early songwriting era. Mae, who has performed at Glastonbury Festival, on prime-time BBC1 and on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 6, identified Joni Mitchell as the first and most influential songwriter she discovered as a teenager, and was called to delve into recreating the album as a live performance when approached by friend and guitarist Rowland O’Connor at the end of a gig back in 2025. “Who’s album would you most like to recreate?” he asked. Unprompted, they both came up with the same answer. “Joni Mitchell’s songs feel like dreams, like journeys off somewhere deep and familiar” says Mae. “It’s great to go beyond memorising and really into the magic, the poetry and the stunning emotional landscapes Joni is able to conjure with her songwriting” Breathing new life into the 1971 classic, Mae’s silken and athletic vocals soar nimbly over Joni’s melodies, and paired with her expressive piano playing she brings a raw and living presence to these timeless songs.
