SUMMARY:SOUND BATH MEDITATION - Monday 18 May\, 7.00-8.00pm
DESCRIPTION:Let the gentle vibrations produced by sound instruments soothe away your stresses and strains as you experience the unique relaxing calm of a sound bath meditation. Sessions held fortnightly in the George Gallery\, £10. For further details or to reserve a place\, please phone or text Katie Potter on 07415 302262. \n\nHealth benefits\nWhether you’re seeking relief from physical pain\, emotional distress\, or looking for peace\, sound baths can bring many benefits for physical and mental health: \n\nStress reduction and anxiety relief: Vibrations produced by the instruments are thought to interact directly with the body’s energy centres\, relieving stress and anxiety by shifting the nervous system from the fight-or-flight response to a state of rest.\nImproved sleep quality: Soothing sound waves can promote deep relaxation\, making it easier for the body to transition into sleep.\nEnhanced mental clarity and focus: A sound bath can help clear away the clutter of incessant thoughts and worries\, helping concentration and focus.\nDeepened meditation and spiritual insight: The vibrations of sound baths are thought to help you connect with your subconscious mind\, allowing inner exploration and self-discovery. Sometimes people experience profound insights or epiphanies during a sound bath.\nPhysical healing and pain relief: Sound bath meditation is thought to stimulate circulation\, enhance immune response\, and may promote the healing of tissues and cells. People with chronic pain conditions\, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia\, often note a reduction in symptoms.\nEmotional release and healing: Sound baths can create a safe space for emotional exploration and release. Because they’re thought to release emotions\, powerful sound waves may help people heal past traumas or deal with grief.

SUMMARY:An Evening with STEVE ASHLEY\, Saturday 6 June\, 7.30pm
DESCRIPTION:Steve Ashley is one of British folk’s finest singer-songwriters. His songs have been covered by a legion of folk artists\, including Fairport Convention\, Anne Briggs\,  Ralph McTell & Wizz Jones\, Show of Hands\, Martin Simpson\, Phil Beer\, O’Hooley & Tidow and St Agnes Fountain. \nSteve’s album career began in 1974 with the ground-breaking Stroll On\, which is still regarded as a folk-rock classic. Since then\, he has released twelve critically acclaimed albums of original songs. Support for his work has come from a diverse mix of record companies\, including Decca\, Motown\, Fairport’s ‘Woodworm’ and the premier folk label Topic. \nFor over half a century\, Steve has consistently melded tradition with innovation\, delivering intelligent and inspired lyrics set to distinctive original melodies. A veteran of CND and the protest movement\, his songs challenge injustice and celebrate everyday life and the natural environment\, highlighting the threats to both. \nHis latest solo album\, One More Thing received three five-star reviews and a place in the American magazine Goldmine’s Best Albums of 2018\, while his album This Little Game was in two UK lists of The Best Folk Albums of 2015 in The Telegraph and Folk Radio. \nWith over fifty album credits to his name\, Steve has recorded with the best in folk. He’s sung with Anne Briggs\, Shirley Collins and Linda Thompson\, and played with Richard Thompson\, John Williams\, Danny Thompson\, Robin Williamson and Fairport Convention. In 2013 the prolific rock author\, Dave Thompson published Fire and Wine\, an illustrated account of Steve’s career with photographs and contributions from many of his peers. \nSteve is a consummate entertainer and has what America’s Variety magazine has called ‘one of the funniest dry stage raps’.  He has toured throughout the UK\, Europe and the USA and appeared on the main stage at Glastonbury\, Cambridge Folk Festival and many times at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention (left). He has performed his songs with chamber orchestras conducted by Nick Drake’s arranger\, the late Robert Kirby\, and also as a lead singer with The Albion Country Band\, and his own bands Ragged Robin and The Steve Ashley Band. \nIn 1991\, with many radio and TV appearances already under his belt\, Steve collaborated with his close friend\, the late Roger Deakin (author of Waterlog)\, to create music for two of Roger’s television films\,The Ballad of the Ten Rod Plot (1991) and  Stable Lads (1995). Sadly\, in 2006 Roger died from a brain tumour\, and a year later\, Steve commemorated his life in the song\, Friend of The Rivers on his album\, Time and Tide. \nIn 2017\, Steve recorded a live session for The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2)\, and his performance of Best Wishes was repeated at the end of the year in The Best of The Sessions. \nIn 2021 his ‘Family Album’\, originally recorded with members of Fairport Convention in 1979\, was reissued with extra tracks. The following year The Scotsman published a chart of the ten best recent reissues\, with Steve’s ‘Family Album Revisited’ chosen as number one. The classic songs therein are bringing Steve to a whole new generation of folk-rock fans and his reputation for creating and performing material of timeless contemporary relevance continues to grow. \n“One of the finest singer-songwriters in Britain\, if not the entire English-speaking world.”  Melody Maker \n“He has an extraordinary gift for creating material of true folk quality.”  The Daily Telegraph \n“Steve Ashley is a thoughtful and elegant singer-songwriter.” The Guardian \n“Folk-rock maestro” Morning Star \n“Throughout his long career his sense of social injustice has barely wavered.”  Mojo
