Out and About this Winter Get into the Christmas Spirit with Kent’s best winter events. Why go any where else than Kent during the run up to the festive season?…. We’ve got so many things going on that you won’t know where to start. Fancy having the wits scared out of you? Dover Castle has some eerily good night time events where you can go ghost hunting in the wartime tunnels or even sleep there over night!! For something a bit more sedate, there’s stacks of Christmas Fairs in town centres and country houses where you’ll find all those different pressies you’ve been hunting for, and a bit nearer Christmas we’ve got some great Christmas markets, most of which are in the, continental vein, think Berlin, Copenhagen, Prague… but you don’t even have to get on a plane… there all here. Why not support local producers, there’s events at places like Tiddly Pomme at the Brogdale National Fruit Collection in Faversham where you can buy different presents and support local producers at the same time. Christmas is all about children, and boy are they well catered for this year, Santa’s grottos, Reindeer, husky sleds, Santa Steam Trains, check out the listings for more details. If you’re feeling a bit more out doors inclined, there’s some great bushcraft days going on down at Natural Pathways near Dover where all the family can get involved in a whole number of outdoor survival and bushcraft activities. What are you doing Boxing Day? Forget the mince pies and get yourself down to the beach…. Yes the beach!!! This is what the Brits do best, …hardy souls strip off, don fancy dress, and plunge into the icy waters for a bit of a dip …all in aid of charity, see the listings for dips , have a laugh, raise some money for charity and burn off a mince pie or two…... Now where did I put that Batman outfit??

THE MASTERBREWER FOLKESTONE
With the informal atmosphere of a pub and unique first class cooking, it’s not surprising that this tucked away village pub is fast gaining an excellent reputation. Pop in for freshly prepared sandwiches, speedy lunches and classic pub dishes all at good, realistic prices. Of course, most people are here to eat, but because the pub serves real ales from hand-pumps, drinkers feel just at home relaxing in the welcoming bar area. Monthly menus and daily specials reflect the seasons, and the special themed food nights including Polish and Curry Nights, are the ones to look out for!!. Popular local musicians play every fortnight on Saturday nights adding another dimension to the Masterbrewer’s appeal as well as their renowned fully catered functions Sundays are popular with the traditional Roast at the centrepiece of the pub’s menu, even the table service is traditional… no queuing here!! This pub’s manager, Paul, is as enthusiastic as he is welcoming and this reflects in the pub’s ambience and the friendly staff, and above all, the food and the beer, which is taken very seriously!

THE BETHERSDEN BULL
The Bethersden Bull is one of those pubs that you see out of the corner of your eye, as you drive down the A28 Ashford to Tenterden Road…. Next time… STOP, and go in! It’s such an attractive pub that when you enter, you immediately feel at home. Kirsteen and Pete took over the running of the pub 6 months ago and transformed it and with a complete refurb, new kitchen staff and most importantly, new menus. The Bull has rightly earned a growing reputation for it’s food, you’ve only got to look at the glowing reviews on line to see the great reception it’s getting. The menu changes with the seasons, and the produce is all sought locally… always a good sign, and where better to spend a chilled out Sunday in the Autumn and Winter months, than in a traditional pub, log fire cracking in the open fireplace and your Sunday Roast on the table…bliss…. The wine list, cask ales and guest beers are enough to keep everyone happy, and over the coming months, the Bull hosts some live music nights, check with the pub for details.

BOXING DAY DIPS For one hour, every year on Boxing Day, hundreds of normally sensible members of the community go totally insane and run into the sea, regardless of how cold it is, and some of them even dress up for the occasion. The method behind their madness, though, is the raising of thousands of pounds for local or national charities. The “dippers”, as we call them, get people to sponsor their lemming-like dash into the sea and at the Folkestone event, the Folkestone Lions pass the monies raised onto the charities nominated by the dippers themselves and other local worthy causes. Each of the dippers gets a “hot toddy” and a commemorative medal to remind them of the occasion - as if the frost-bite and hypothermia weren’t enough already.... Those that want to can dress up and enter the fancy dress competition that takes place for individual dippers, or those taking part as a group. A range of other prizes is awarded as well, especially for the dipper raising the most money!!! Registration for the 2013 Folkestone dip is from 11.30am, with the dip taking place from 12.30PM. Contact Stephen Lowe on 01303 275984. Other local dips take place in Dover Harbour, (Details unavailable) and at Deal…. Sponsor forms are available from Margaret Edwards, 12 Trinity Place, Deal, CT14 9HH. Mobile number: 07836 669079. and on New Years day…NEW YEARS DAY SWIM at Viking Bay, Broadstairs in aid of Children’s Liver Disease Foundation. The swim will be at 12 noon. Spectators welcome! Come and encourage the swimmers! All swimmers should meet at Neptunes Hall at 11:30am. Complementary curry and chilli for all swimmers at Neptunes Hall after the swim. If you would like to participate in the swim, pick up a sponsorship form from the Neptune or contact Jill or Ken on 01843 861400

GLYNEDBOURNE OPERA TOUR This popular operatic touring company presents a series of shows in Canterbury..
TUE 12 NOV - HANSEL & GRETEL: Listen very carefully.
Never forget what is coming next. Real witches dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ordinary jobs.’ This advice on witches from Roald Dahl might well be borne in mind by Hansel and Gretel in Glyndebourne’s production of the much-loved opera by Engelbert Humperdinck. The music may be familiar, the fairy tale may be universally known, but the story is open to many different interpretations.
WED 13 & SAT 16 NOV - L’ELISIR D’AMORE: The twists and
turns of this plot are dazzlingly delineated by Donizetti in music of delightful invention and at times, true poignancy. The tune that remained on everyone’s lips when the opera was first performed was the yearningly romantic ‘Una furtiva lagrima’, when Nemorino is finally convinced that Adina loves him because he spots the glimmer of a tear in her eye. It has been a favourite with tenors and audiences ever since.
FRI 15 NOV - THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA: Benjamin Britten created this opera with the poet Ronald Duncan, The result of this close collaboration is an extraordinary and tightly focussed treatment of a legend which has acquired numerous layers in painting, poetry and drama. Lucretia is raped by the tyrant Tarquinius Superbus, ruler of Rome, and elects to kill herself rather than live with the shame. The action of the opera is commented on throughout by a Male and Female Chorus who occupy another dimension, at times narrating the story and at times voicing the thoughts of the different characters.

BELLOWHEAD Since their formation in 2004 Bellowhead have occupied a unique place in Britain’s musical landscape: a blistering 11-piece band fusing folk, funk, rock, world, jazz, music hall and classical music, they have placed themselves at the cutting edge of the contemporary music scene while harnessing all the power and mystery of ancient English and European musical traditions. They are ‘the greatest live act in Britain’ says BBC Radio 2’s Simon Mayo and the hordes of dancing fans grinning and singing along and treating every gig as a party clearly agree.

DR PHIL HAMMOND GAMES TO PLAY WITH YOUR DOCTOR
Medicine is jolly serious, life and death, pain and suffering, pills and needles. But wouldn’t a trip to the doctor or a rush up to A+E be much more fun if it was a game? In his BRAND NEW show, Dr Phil – a campaigning journalist and the only comedian to have appeared at a public inquiry – turns the whole of medicine into a succession of games for you to play with your doctor. Phil Hammond is a hospital doctor, writer, broadcaster and comedian. He has been Private Eye’s medical correspondent for over 20 years and has appeared on Have I Got News for You, The News Quiz, The Now Show, The One Show and Countdown.
GULKBENKIAN THEATRE, CANTERBURY - MON 25 NOV

TO SIR WITH LOVE
Based on E R Braithwaite’s autobiography To Sir, With Love is an inspirational story of courage and hope. Ricky Braithwaite, a Cambridge graduate and ex- RAF fighter pilot arrives in London and soon learns what it is to be black in post-war England. Turned down for job after job in his chosen profession as an electronic engineer, Ricky begins his first teaching post in a tough but progressive East End school. Supported by an enlightened headmaster, the determined teacher turns teenage rebelliousness into self respect, contempt into consideration and hate into love - and on the way, Ricky himself learns that he has more in common with his students than he had realised.
BOND!

His biting, satirical, political and very funny verse delivered in his rapid-fire performance style resonated with the punk movement that had begun to pick up speed in the late 70s. After touring with most of punk’s seminal and ground breaking bands including the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks, The Fall, and Elvis Costello, to name but a few, he began to draw large crowds in his own right.

THE WATERBOYS This October it will be 25 years since the release of the classic Waterboys album Fisherman’s Blues. The famous Fisherman’s Blues sessions ran from early 1986 to mid-1988 and marked a watershed in the musical evolution of The Waterboys. Rumours and bootlegs have circulated over the years telling of the huge amount of high quality music the band produced during this period, but the full story will be told on Fisherman’s Box. The Waterboys, have a special line-up reuniting Mike Scott and Steve Wickham with Fisherman’s-era members Anto Thistlethwaite and Trevor Hutchinsion. The four will be joined by current Waterboys drummer Ralph Salmins and the repertoire will be a reexploration of the Fisherman’s Blues period. Said Mike Scott: “We won’t be playing the original Fisherman’s Blues album in order or anything tame like that. That’s not the Waterboys’ style. Instead we’ll be roaming the band’s old repertoire in a new expression of the freewheeling, improvised spirit of The Waterboys in those days. We want to get that old fire burning again, and I wanna hear Steve and Anto wailing like the two-man orchestra I remember.” Expect souped-up, full power versions of lots of 1985-88 Waterboys numbers, plus hits, innovations and surprises.

SIMON MCBRIDE Fast becoming the next Irish blues guitar hero in the footsteps of Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore, former Young Guitarist of the Year Simon McBride has undeniable guitar artistry combined with a fine voice and a knack for creating memorable hooks and great melodies. Even by the lofty standards of Northern Ireland, where drinkers still raise a toast to the audacious talent of the late Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore, this young maestro’s name was soon starting to be dropped in the same reverential breath. Certainly, Simon is a fan, and the energy and aggression of his live show recalls those much-missed Irish masters, but McBride’s sound is his own – as demonstrated on his much acclaimed latest album Crossing The Line. He has supported such great names as Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck and and Joe Bonamassa. Now it’s his turn. Step-forward a new worldclass talent.

JASON MANFORD FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
Everybody’s favourite northern comedian, Jason Manford, has announced a brand new tour for 2013. The show promises to feature a wealth of comedy anecdotes, comic misunderstandings and audience banter delivered with Jason’s likeable charm and teasingly intelligent wit. Jason has had a busy time since he was last on the road. After his opera singing turn saw him emerge the winner on Born To Shine (ITV1) Jason put his new found talent into practice joining Alfie Boe on tour prior to a well-received run in the West-End hit musical Sweeney Todd. However, his comedy bones weren’t completely idle as he enjoyed appearances on QI (BBC Two), Big Fat Quiz of the Year (Channel 4), and Comedy World Cup (Channel 4). Stand up sets on ‘Live at the Apollo’ (BBC One), ‘Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow’ (BBC One) and ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ (ITV1, 2009) have all helped establish Jason as a nationally known comic, a position which made him the ideal host of ITV’s reality comedy competition, Show Me the Funny.

JACKSON
LIVE IN CONCERT
Michael Jackson is not only remembered as one of the most influential artists of all time, but many of today’s artists have been inspired by his iconic style. His career spanned nearly five decades of music, and he was continually at the forefront of popular music. Jackson Live in Concert sees long-time fan and hugely talented Ben recreate the Michael Jackson experience with his stunning rendition of all his favourite songs. Ben’s portrayal of Jackson has to be the most accurate and exciting tribute to the King of Pop to have ever toured UK theatres. Ben is joined on the stage by his Incredible Band and Dancers who work their way through all the hits. He’s got the look, the moonwalk and the voice! His renditions of Thriller, Beat it and Billie Jean are truly sensational. Jackson Live in Concert features all-live vocals and music, fabulous costumes, and of course all the signature dance moves associated so fondly with the undisputed King of Pop. Pure MJ!

listings may vary after publication.. please check with venues prior to travel Hello folkies of Kent! I hope you are all well set for your music this autumn and winter. The summer has already raced by this year but I did manage to tag a late summer festival onto my hectic schedule – the small but perfectly formed (except the toilet situation) Solarfayre; a very friendly part folk, part rave(ish) environmentally friendly event; my personal highlight being Ska/rock/punk band Interterrestrials. I also braved the big town lights of our county town recently to experience two very contrasting gigs – one a lovely traditional pub gig at The Fisherman’s Arms to catch the excellent Tener Duende; the other when at Bar 10 I lost my steam punk virginity to Brides of Rain (incredibly talented nine-piece crossing various genres from the classics to folk rock and back again) supporting a “Gentleman Rapper” called Professor Elemental; if you have a thing for drinking tea and being English (or have the ability to laugh to being English) then jump onto this chap’s bandwagon! You may also need to enjoy hiphop! The Jackie Oates Lullabies concert at the Queens Road Baptist Church in Broadstairs was a pure joy to behold. She combined lullabies from around the world with other sensitive songs, including a delightful version of AA Milne’s Alexander Beetle. – ah the memories! On December 12th the same venue hosts the Belshazzar’s Feast Christmas Show, with Paul Sartin (Bellowhead, Faustus etc.) and Paul Hutchinson (Hoover the Dog etc.) Tickets from Broadstairs Folk Week 01843 604080 and one definitely not to be missed. Lots of folk events around the county at the moment – including Steve Tilston, Gordie McKennon and Faustus at The Astor, and as usual an excellent and varied line-up around Canterbury from Folk in the Barn. And let’s flag up a January special to brighten those post Christmas blues; 18th January at the Sarah Thorne Theatre in Broadstairs a terrific night of folk dance bands including the incredibly talented John Langham Band – just check them out on YouTube!
