| This choir may have only been formed last year but as sceneone says “ The choir has been trained to make a very fine sound; at the risk of comparing them to a Scotch whisky, “mellow” and “well-blended” are the two words that come to mind” They present “Because we sing”, an evening of well-known songs from all genres. Titles include medleys from Les Miserables, Gershwin and Rodgers & Hammerstein, as well as songs such as Bring me sunshine and Blue Skies. Conducted by Jean Chambers with pianist Mary Potter, there is something for everyone to enjoy. |

| Effie, who has lived in mental health institutions since the age of thirteen, has been admitted to hospital with severe burns. Treating her is Dr Ruth Kovacs, who finds in Effie's extraordinary story of injustice and official callousness the key to her own suppressed anger and power. Taut and powerful, tender and often funny, Effie's Burning is an emotional switchback of a play, with a searing anger at its heart. |

| Heidi Talbot is an Irish folk singer from Kill, County Kildare, Ireland who has emerged as a fabulous performer in her own right, having initially been the singer with iconic Irish-American women’s band Cherish The Ladies. Heidi appears at the Shelley with her own band.
Her fifth solo LP plays to the tune of quiet skips and giant leaps. It crosses the ages, jumps into the unknown, traverses oceans and musical styles – from folk, through Americana, to classic pop, and back again. The Co Kildare singer / songwriter, who now resides in Scotland with her musical partner and husband John McCusker, is joined by a host of musicians and co-writers on the album, including Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow), Duke Special, Adam Holmes and Boo Hewerdine. |
