Arts Music Lounge: Jimmy Lindsay

An Evening with British Reggae legend Jimmy Lindsay & His Band Jimmy was born in Kingston, Jamaica and is a genuine reggae/soul artist with a cultured musical history. At the age of nine he and his family relocated to the UK where his musical career began as a soul singer in the sixties. Jimmy came to fame as the front man of Cymande in the 70’s. His undisputed excellence when commanding vocal authority and technique is delivered with a remarkable confidence and passion. Jimmy then went on to a solo career and found himself at the forefront of British reggae aligning himself with reggae greats as Joe Gibbs, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Andy and Bob Marley . Further, Jimmy’s song writing delves deeper into the roots of reggae and communicates a powerful message through his Jamaican roots touching your soul and dancing feet. The strength of song writing is documented on three solo albums ‘Where Is Your Love’, ‘Children Of Rastafari’, and Jimmy Lindsay and Rasuji Live at The Venue 1980. His chart success includes his superlative re-working of the 1977 British Reggae award winning single Commodores’ ‘Easy’ and ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’. Tickets : £15 each before 17th July with no commission. Then £18 each if available From tickets please

Pizza workshop for families with Wanderers of the Woods

Join our Kindergarten community to make your own pizza dough (to take away) and cook a pizza (to eat in) in our wood oven! During the workshop, we will be making Neapolitan pizza dough using the recipe from a masterclass by Rossopomodoro, which you will take home to let rise. We will then stretch pre-risen dough and top it with mozzarella and tomato sauce to make a classic Margherita pizza (or a rosemary focaccia as a vegan option), which you can enjoy in the beautiful gardens of Shrewsbury House. The cost of the event is £20 per family, which includes a small pizza to enjoy during the workshop and the dough to take home. All ages welcome! As a Community Interest Company (CIC), proceeds will be used to fund the equipment and material for the gardening project that we have started in partnership with Shrewsbury House. Book here
