What's on in Bolehill

Derbyshire, England

Bolehill sits quietly in Derbyshire, a proper spot to escape the city hum and find what's on without the fuss. With no big venues on our doorsteps, the local scene relies on community halls popping up for family fun or village greens hosting summer fairs that make the air smell of woodsmoke and fresh bread. It is not about size but about spirit, so keep an eye on noticeboards near the post office for pop-up markets and school plays that bring the whole neighbourhood together. Whether you fancy a quiet afternoon or a bit of local drama, Near Here keeps the calendar handy so you never miss a moment worth catching.

Neil Cowley Trio: Built on Bach

Built on Bach is an evening of Neil Cowley Trio music using Bach’s work as a ‘jumping off point’ for their iconic jazz sound. “He was the beginning of it all – the fundament to my technique and the core of my musicality”. Neil Cowley didn’t realise the profound impact that Johann Sebastian Bach had on his career until he stumbled upon his gravestone in Leipzig, Germany. Cowley is a man of duplicity, as he says, “the heart-felt jazz-soul-blues stuff: and the head, the classical” ( Interview with Andy Robson, Jazzwise) Formed in the late 2000s, the Neil Cowley Trio released their first studio album in June 2006, through Cowley’s own record label, Hide Inside Records. After the original album established Cowley as a dazzling pianist and stunning composer, he examined the possibilities of the acoustic piano trio and created a unique trademark sound that delivered powerful music of massive dynamic range and contrast. At the heart of their captivating live performances is Cowley’s marvellously English wit, mischievous humour and remarkable rapport with his audience. Having taken time for a solo career exploring electronics and contemporary classical music, Cowley came back to his trio and brought all he’d learned to develop their existing jazz style. Using Bach’s original pieces as a starting point, together with his bandmates Rex Horan (bass) and Evan Jenkins (drums), new compositions took place.
