Django Chutney

Django Chutney have been described as a virtuosic gypsy-jazz “manouche et trois”, with equal parts due respect for the genre, unruly chaotic energy, and a huge dose of tongue-in-cheek humour. Combining tightly woven three part vocal harmonies reminiscent of 30s and 40s American vocal groups The Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots; ridiculous guitar show-offery that draws as much from Django Reinhardt as it does from Guthrie Govan; Double bass solo’s that drag Pop’s Fosters slap technique kicking and screaming into the 21st century; and a repertoire that’s seemingly firmly rooted in the 30’s Hot Club era, but will suddenly transport you through decades and styles, from New Orleans jazz, to Chicago blues and Parisian musette, effortlessly, respectfully, but most importantly: with true joie de vivre! The Brighton-based trio have been blowing away audiences since October 2021. The post Django Chutney appeared first on Ropetackle Arts Centre.

Unfurling the Creative – Taster Session

An introduction to the restorative and healing power of creative practice. Feel creative but a little stuck or uninspired? Long for more space, calm, or meaning in your week? Believe you’re “not creative” but are curious to explore? This session is run by Louise Durham, Occupational Therapist and glass artist. We’ll explore simple, accessible creative exercises designed to spark playfulness, curiosity, and joy. What to Expect: Each session is built around simple, accessible creative practices — cutting and sticking, tearing and layering, mark-making and printing. Sounds childish? That’s entirely the point. This isn’t about technique or producing impressive work. It’s about creating alongside others without judgement or pressure to get it right. Participants must be at least 16 years old to attend this event. £30. This 2 hr session Includes all materials. Venue: Skyway Gallery at The Shoreham Centre, Pond Road, Shoreham-by-Sea, BN43 5WU4 Tickets available from: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1989993561311…

Open Air Cinema: Rear Window

Step into the suspense-filled world of Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece Rear Window under the stars at the stunning Findon Place. Confined to his apartment with a broken leg, photographer L.B. Jefferies spends his days watching the lives of his neighbours through his rear window… until he begins to suspect that one of them may have committed a murder. But is he witnessing a terrible crime — or letting his imagination run wild? With tension building in every glance, every shadow, and every secret uncovered, Rear Window remains one of the greatest thrillers ever made. Join us for an unforgettable evening of classic cinema, atmosphere, and suspense in the beautiful grounds of Findon Place. Bring your blankets, settle in beneath the night sky, and prepare for a Hitchcock classic that will keep you gripped until the very last moment. Tickets: here
