The Long Weekend:
Life in the English Country House between the Wars
Thursday 5th October 2017 at the Digby Hall, Hound Street, Sherborne, DT9 3AA. 8pm
(doors open 7.15pm). Tickets: £5 (to include teas).
Patron of the Friends, Adrian Tinniswood OBE, will uncover the truth about a world half-forgotten, draped in myth and hidden behind stiff upper lips and film-star smiles. Drawing on the eye-witness testimonies of belted earls, unhappy heiresses and bullying butlers, he gives a voice to the people who inhabited the world of the English country house, both above and below stairs.
Adrian is the author of fourteen books on social and architectural history. His most recent, The Long Weekend, was a Sunday Times bestseller, a New York Times bestseller and a Daily Telegraph Book of the Year. Adrian lives in Bath and Co. Mayo and is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Buckingham. In 2013 he was awarded an OBE for services to heritage.
Tickets can be obtained from Sherborne Tourist Information Centre, Digby Road, Sherborne DT9 3NL. Telephone bookings on 01935 815341 or by

The Courtesan’s Gaze: A concert of music by
Barbara Strozzi (1619 – 1677) and her circle
Barbara Strozzi (pictured) lived a life of high musical achievement and scandal in the Venice of the seventeenth century. A prolific and successful published composer in her own time, she was also said to have acted as courtesan at musical and intellectual meetings where “clothes were optional”. This concert of duets composed by Strozzi and her contemporaries, Monteverdi and Cavalli, will explore her reception and whether the scandal surrounding her was justified.
Sung by sopranos Hannah Ely and Lucy Cox of the Fieri
Consort with music on Baroque guitar and
theorbo (Toby Carr) and harp (Aileen Henry)
Tickets: £14 available from John Summers:

We are pleased to be able to announce an exciting community event
in Yetminster church on Friday 10 November at 7.30pm when local rock, pop
and country musician, Jo Burt, will perform an acoustic set by candlelight.
Jo has been a professional musician and songwriter for over 40 years,
playing to packed stadia around Europe and the world.
He is noted for his past musical ventures with legends such as Freddie
Mercury, The Troggs and Black Sabbath to name but a few.
Jo will perform an evening of rich vocal and guitar harmony.
He'll play some of the songs from his famous past (e.g. Love is All Around, The Troggs) as well as his new songs.
There'll also be some tales from his past on tour with some of the greats of twentieth century rock.
You can listen to some of his songs on his website by clicking here.
This is a community event, and we hope to draw an audience from a wide cross section of the village and around.
Tickets will be £10 to include a drink, available soon from locations in Yetminster.
