SUMMARY:MR POTTER'S BEAST – An Illustrated talk by Jason Griffiths
DESCRIPTION:In 1968 television dramatist Dennis Potter (above) was already a controversial figure in his native Forest of Dean when a furious row broke out about the subject of his play A Beast With Two Backs. Potter had based the story on a notorious local incident in which an angry mob of villagers chased and killed two performing bears whom they suspected – wrongly – of killing a child and injuring a local woman. Such was the potency of this dark moment in Forest history that reaction against Potter’s choice of subject prompted a slew of letters to the local newspapers before filming had even started. The correspondence provides a fascinating insight into the Forest community’s relationship with the events of eighty years before\, and even more so with the playwright Potter himself. \nJason Griffiths is a senior research fellow at the University of Gloucestershire and a recognised authority on the work of Forest writers. A founder of Forest of Dean Community Radio and the Reading The Forest initiative\, Jason also helped secure the purchase of papers and materials by Dennis Potter that now form the permanent Potter Archive and Exhibition at the Dean Heritage Museum. \nPlease note: Admission to this talk is free\, but space in our upstairs Gallery is limited. Please make sure of your seat(s) by using the RSVP form below.

SUMMARY:Strictly Barbershop – An Evening with SPECS APPEAL and OFF THE RECORD
DESCRIPTION:Come along and experience the magic and fun of close-harmony Barbershop singing! This is the first time SPECS APPEAL and OFF THE RECORD have appeared on the same bill and sung together as an octet. During the evening they’ll be teaching the audience a ‘tag’ (the last part of a barbershop song)\, so YOU will have a chance to sing Barbershop too! \nAbout The Performers \nBased in South Gloucestershire\, SPECS APPEAL have been singing together since 2018. Amy usually sings the melody; Kate covers the lower harmony; Hannah\, tenor\, sings the high harmonies\, and Becky\, baritone\, sings all the other notes that no-one else wants! Being able to sing isn’t the only requirement to be a part of this quartet – bad eyesight and owning a natty pair of spectacles is a must! \nAll four members belong to Bristol Fashion Chorus and to LABBS\, the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers\, regularly taking part in the annual LABBS convention in October – a whole weekend of glorious song and harmony. They have a wonderfully eclectic repertoire\, from pop songs and favourites from the world of musical theatre to a very special madrigal with a twist. Although they rehearse diligently they are also firm friends\, and practice is always accompanied by chat\, laughter\, tea and cake! \nOFF THE RECORD are: Paul on lead\, Hugh on bass\, Tom on tenor and Hayden on baritone. Their repertoire ranges from classic barbershop arrangements to contemporary arrangements showcasing their versatility and musicianship. The group have been singing together since before the days of Covid\, when most rehearsals took place out of doors\, competing with the sound of local lawnmowers. All four are current or former members of the Great Western Chorus of Bristol\, and the group have been semi-finalists in the National Barbershop Quartet competition for the last two years running.

SUMMARY:farOpen Autumn Exhibition\, Tuesday 1 to Saturday 19 October
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Annual farOpen Autumn Exhibition runs from Tuesday 1 to Saturday 19 October. Opening hours are 11.00am to 4.00pm daily Tuesdays to Saturdays and admission is free. A grand total of 46 artists will be exhibiting their work\, including everything from photography and printmaking to glassware\, ceramics and needle-felting. There’s something for everybody\, so why not come along to browse\, shop\, enjoy coffee and cake in the cafe and sample the buzz and excitement of the vibrant local creative arts scene! \nAbout farOpen\nfarOpen – short for Forest and Rivers (Artists’) Open Studios – is a volunteer-run\, artist-led network that organises the popular Open Studios Art Trail each July in the Forest of Dean and along the Severn and Wye rivers. Since its establishment in 2017\, the number of artists it represents has grown phenomenally and the support it offers to artists in the community has broadened correspondingly. Alongside the summer Art Trail\, group exhibitions are held in Summer\, Spring and Autumn\, alternating between local venues. Members also benefit from an online blog for sharing news and advice\, and from regular monthly coffee mornings – a vital support network for a demographic who tend to work alone and can often feel isolated. \nfarOpen’s aims include building a thriving artist community\, increasing year-round visibility and awareness of its members’ artwork\, and holding a range of events and workshops.

SUMMARY:Hidden Landscapes in the Forest of Dean – An Illustrated talk by Jon Hoyle\, Thursday 14 November\, 7.30pm
DESCRIPTION:Above: Artist’s impression of a Bronze Age ring cairn in the Forest of Dean – a type of ritual monument thought to date back to around 2\,000 BCE. (Ann Leaver) \nFrom 2004-2011 County Archaeologist Jon Hoyle led a wide-ranging survey that shed a dramatically new light on the archaeology of the Forest of Dean. Covering an area from Blaisdon to Tidenham\, the study focused particularly on the problem of identifying features in areas of woodland – a difficult environment for archaeological research. The project was an early adopter of LIDAR\, an aerial laser technique which stripped away the tree cover to reveal earthwork remains on the forest floor. \nNearly 1\,700 previously unrecognised anomalies were found\, but only a few could be investigated. Nevertheless\, the exploration of two boundary systems and two enclosures have greatly informed and sometimes revolutionised our understanding of the prehistoric and Roman periods in the Forest. This talk gives an overview of the project\, outlines some intriguing case studies and points to exciting future possibilities for unlocking the Forest’s secret histories. \nJon Hoyle is an archaeologist with Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service. Between 2002 and 2011 he directed the Forest of Dean archaeological survey which investigated aspects of the forest’s archaeology and particularly those parts hidden by the extensive tracts of woodland in the area.

SUMMARY:When Modern Art Came to Gloucestershire – An Illustrated Talk by Lee Beard\, Thursday 19 December\, 7.30 pm
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This talk was first given at The George in April of this year and is being repeated by popular demand. Admission is free\, but advance booking is advised. Please reserve your seat(s) using the ticket form below. \nIn May 1938 the exhibition ‘Realism and Surrealism: Several Phases of Contemporary Art’ opened at the Guildhall\, Gloucester. Among the 126 paintings and sculptures on display were artworks by some of the century’s most acclaimed modern artists including Salvador Dalí\, Paul Klee and René Magritte. \nThe British artist Paul Nash\, who had met Picasso in Paris a decade earlier\, was at this time actively involved in the promotion of Surrealist art in Britain. For Nash this was an artistic approach that corresponded with his own distinct renderings of the English landscape as a psychological space. In the late 1930s\, Nash became a regular visitor to Gloucestershire\, leading to a series of paintings\, drawings\, and photographs depicting the region. The Forest of Dean in particular provided a rich source of inspiration for him. \nIn this illustrated talk\, art historian Lee Beard reveals how for a brief period an exhibition in Gloucester connected the city to some of the most notable artistic and political events of the time\, not least the rise of fascism across Europe. As Herbert Read would explain in the foreword to the Gloucester show\, in an age of unrest\, it was inevitable that this was to be reflected in the forms of painting and sculpture on display. \nDr Lee Beard is an art historian\, writer\, teacher and curator. He is a recognised authority on the work of Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) and has published widely on modern art in Britain during the early 20th century.

And this was an entirely sober audience too! Some people thought they had seen a magic show with comedy\, others a comedy show with magic. Either way\, it was an absolutely brilliant evening. He pitched the humour absolutely perfectly for the audience and the magic was breathtakingly superb.” Guy Kingston \n\n“A Force to Be Reckoned With”\n\n“The Great Baldini is a force to be reckoned with! His enthusiastic and charismatic presence at our wedding celebration really added to the day. Guests were amazed and intrigued by his tricks\, his larger-than-life presentation and humorous delivery. He is utterly charming and a pleasure to deal with. We cannot recommend him highly enough!” Peter Huntley \n“A Night of Perfect Entertainment!”\n\n“The Great Baldini graced the centenary celebrations of Monmouth Chamber of Commerce with his infectious personality\, immaculate presentation\, and mystifying magic. He involved members of the audience without causing them to feel at all uncomfortable\, and exudes old-school charm. The unanimous response is that he wins five stars for a night of perfect entertainment.”  Sherren McCabe-Finlayson\, President \n“Blown Away!”\n\n“We saw The Great Baldini at the Cornerstone in Didcot – he was amazing and we were blown away.  We loved him so much we asked him to perform at our family party. The show was perfect and had everyone roaring with laughter\, amazed and intrigued at the same time.  Thank you\, Baldini\, for giving us a very special memory.”  Henry Richards
