The Browns are singer-songwriters who started singing together in 2019 after reconnecting in 2015. They met as teenagers at a school dance and lost touch after arrangements for their first date went awry, but the intervening years has given them plenty of material for their songs. Known for their rich and expressive blend of voices in harmony they have performed at festivals and folk club venues across East Anglia and beyond. As well as playing music from the rapidly expanding list of their own songs, The Browns bring their unique arrangements and harmonies to contemporary and traditional folk songs. With just two voices and one guitar, which Vernon plays upside down, they have developed an exceptional sound allowing their distinctive vocals to take centre stage and shine..

Drawing parallels to luminaries like Joni Mitchell, Florence + The Machine, Daughter, and Fleetwood Mac, her tracks resonate with integrity and substance, leaving a lasting impact. Backed by her exceptionally talented band, Dolly Mavies captains on an exhilarating sonic journey, inviting her listeners to immerse themselves in her spellbinding narratives. She's not just an artist; she's a compelling storyteller whose music offers an enchanting passage to the heart of the human experience.

We are offering a number of opportunities to visit Wilson's School across four dates in June 2025. The visits are for prospective pupils currently in Year 5 who are due to transfer to secondary school in September 2026. To book a visit please choose your preferred date and time slot and book your tickets. Prospective pupils can be accompanied by up to two parents/carers. Each time slot includes a tour of the school and its facilities accompanied by a member of staff or one of our Sixth Form students who will be happy to talk to you about the school and answer any questions that you may have. These visits will take place at the end of a normal school day and you will therefore be able to see first-hand the opportunities for pupils beyond the classroom. At the end of your guided tour you will be escorted to the John Jenkins Hall for a talk from the Head. On each of the four available dates we offer three sessions. The table below shows the timings for each visit session. Please note that it is important for you to arrive on time for your slot (we suggest you aim to arrive 5 minutes early). Please note: Each prospective pupil must be in Year 5 (starting secondary school in September 2026). In order to ensure as many people as possible are able to visit the school we ask that a maximum of three tickets per group is reserved (including child). Only one visit is allowed per child. Tickets are FREE - no payment details will be required.

The Band says:- We had a fantastic year in 2024 - we were very honoured to play at the wonderful Broadstairs Folk Week in August, and also at the amazing community festival BunkFest in Wallingford. Exciting plans are coming together for 2025 - watch this space! What can you expect from a live gig We've got songs of revenge and illicit love, cheery little gospel songs about dying, and lots of accompanying laughter and banter - come and hear Sarah trash-talk each of us while Doug adjusts his guitar into ever more elaborate tunings before we set off into some melting harmonies, fiery fiddle melodies and blistering guitar licks! We cover everything from bluegrass and country to murder ballads, old jazz standards and gospel, plus the odd bluesy original thrown in for good measure. And we're keen on mixing it up with our own take on old favourites like Britney's Toxic and the Dead South's gorgeous minor version of You Are My Sunshine. In 2023 we played at the Croydon Folk and Blues Festival and Kew Village Market as well as in pubs around south-west London, including our Brentford residency at the Northumberland arms, and had a glowing review from the wonderful Doug Welch on Radio Kent Upload. Our origin story One cold January night in 2019, singer and guitarist Sarah Weir strapped her guitar to her back and set out in search of music and song. At the Old Packhorse in Chiswick, she stumbled across fiddle player Cath Nelson, and the pair bonded over shared tales of love lost - and a passion for Emmylou and Michelle Shocked. Together we became Calico Thieves, joined in 2021 by guitar genius Dr Doug Field and in 2022 by bass player extraordinaire Mark Waterfield. Now were on a mission to dress up in our finest stage gear, play and sing our hearts out - and spread the joy of American roots, country, gospel and blues!

Flex your funny bone with The Merry Wives of Lavid Doyd, pumped full of gym culture, sass, and sweatbands. When a deluded fitness bro tries to charm two sharp-witted wives, he finds himself outmatched, outclassed, and hilariously out of his depth. Bursting with cheeky schemes, protein shakes, and power plays, this fresh rework is a playful takedown of ego and a celebration of female strength. Forget Windsor-this is Shakespeare with reps, ripples, and revenge. Presented by The BRIT School Limited. This is an 12+ event
