I have been watching with interest the breakdown of legal authority in Libya as reported in the News programmes. It reminded me of the same collapse which took place during the persecution of Christians in North Africa by the Emperor Decius during the period CE 249-251. People went into hiding or ‘changed sides’ to protect their and their family’s lives. During this period the Bishop of Carthage was a man called Thascius Cyprianus (his tomb shrine still exists in the ruins of the great Byzantine Basilica). He was an orator, a teacher of rhetoric and an advocate. However when he was 45 he found his life was completely changed as he was baptised a Christian. He soon became bishop and found himself caring for a diocese under threat. He went into hiding for which he was criticized. He wrote during this period letters and treatises urging unity in the face of persecution. His most famous works were called “On Morality”, “On the Unity of the Church” and “On the Lord’s Prayer”. Much of what he wrote is still quoted in Church documents. In his work “On the Lord’s Prayer” he reminds people that the phrase “Give this day our daily bread” refers not just to physical food but more importantly to the “Bread that lasts forever”, Jesus himself. It is this intimate relationship between Jesus and the believer that allows a person to stand firm.

The issue of Windfall sites was discussed again and a explanatory flyer would be issue to every household in November. Tennis Club. The gate giving access to the track leading to the club has recently been left unlocked on several occasions. Club members and other users must ensure that the gate is locked at the end of the day so as to prevent vehicle trespass. Council heard that work would begin shortly on the construction of the new club house following further grants being made by outside bodies. Council congratulated the club for achieving this milestone. Speed restrictions. Council is in dialogue with ESCC with a view to putting 40 mph speed restrictions in place on parts of both the northern and southern approaches to the village. There are cost implications as the County Council will not pay the full cost. Investigations continue in an endeavour to solve the problems and dangers posed by speeding motorists. Plumpton Parish Council www.plumptonpc.co.uk October, 2014 Report Railway crossing. Councillors heard from Network Rail that the recent problems with the gate mechanism were to be fixed over the weekend of 18/19 October. Preparatory work for the replacement of the gates would commence in mid January and the actual replacement would take place in the autumn. The dates will be published in the Parish Magazine but all three activities will require the road to be closed. Council was very concerned that no firm proposals had been made to the council nor indeed, a planning application made and it requested that Network Rail makes its plans known as soon as possible. Council also requested that the plans and timetable be directly communicated to those local residents in the vicinity. Affordable housing. A further confusion over who has the final say as to occupiers of the affordable housing in Sun Close was raised. The Parish Council was responsible for initiating the search for suitable sites, encouraging the housing needs survey to establish demand and liaising with Lewes DC and Hastoe throughout. Council also agreed the criteria for establishing the “local connection” for prospective occupiers. Council has no input to the final choice as to who those occupiers will be – that is down to Lewes District Council and Hastoe, the Housing Association. Work continues on site and the properties should be ready for occupation by December. Neighbourhood Plan. Council heard that the recent public consultation had brought many more comments from those attending. Those comments, which will be published on the council’s web site, will form the basis for developing the policies which will go into the neighbourhood Plan and upon which the parish will vote next year. The request for landowners to put their sites forward as potential development opportunities had been completed and the sites would be validated and published in due course. Criteria will be drawn up, based on the comments received from the parish so far and other information, which will allow each potential site to be assessed. The ultimate aim is to propose sites which meet those criteria for National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies PROGRAMME FOR NOVEMBER 2014 Wednesday, November 5.

MARC CHAGALL’S POETIC VISION Think of Chagall and think immediately of beautiful stained glass windows glowing with colour and beautiful angels flying through translucent bright blue skies. Chagall, who lived to nearly a hundred, created works in almost every artistic medium during his long life - paintings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets. ceramics and tapestries to name but a few. His style had an almost childlike innocence as he combined images from his own life, his happy marriage and Eastern European Jewish culture. We are lucky in Sussex to be able to see some of the most famous examples of his work. Visit Chichester Cathedral and gaze at his magnificent window there or, go a little further to All Saints’ Tudley in Kent, where he made all twelve of its windows. But of course you could just come to our lecture! This month speaker, Frank Woodgate, as well as being one of NADFAS' most sought after lecturers is also a lecturer and guide at the Tate, a lecturer at Dulwich Picture Gallery and scriptwriter for the Living paintings trust (art for the blind and partially sighted). Come and enjoy what should be a most stimulating and interesting lecture. Visitors are always most welcome and the cost is £7 on the door with tea and biscuits afterwards and a chance to talk to the speaker. If you require any further information please ring Marjorie Blunden on 01825 723250. Plumpton & District Footpath Society HAPPY CIRCLE We meet every 2nd and 3rd Thursday at All Saints’ church annexe In May we had a very happy trip on the Bluebell Railway followed by tea and cakes.

The focus was on science, in particular food chains, habitats and underwater animals. The children also looked at underwater creatures, engaging in an interactive rock pool experience and attended an art workshop linked to food chains. Children in Years 3 and 4 visited the Brighton Museum as part of their Tomb Raiders Topic on Ancient Egypt. The children explored the Egyptian artefacts and attended an interactive workshop. Children in Years 5 and 6 attended an Ancient Greek Workshop here in school. The day started with a short talk on Greek life and culture and the Battles of Thermopylae and Marathon. The rest of the morning was taken up with four activities; a quiz, a Greek jigsaw puzzle for exercising the mind, a Greek strategy game played by Alexander the Great and some drama. After lunch a Greek Warrior fresh from battle demonstrated his weapons and armour. The differences between the city states of Athens and Sparta were explored and the great battle of Gaugamela between Alexander the Great and King Darius finished off the afternoon.

Tony, James and Martin pulled the bug hotel apart! We looked for spiders, woodlice, snails and other insects. It was fun because I got to pick up a snail. The snail had a beautiful shell, it was a baby one. The shell was yellow and black. The bug hotel was put back together. I am looking forward to seeing lots of snails in there. Freddie Millis We broke the bug hotel apart and we put the bugs into little pots. We found loads of house spiders and three false widow spiders. We also found three snails and around seven cocoons. Next we built the new bug hotel and put the bugs into their new home. Hopefully we will find more bugs next time. Lauren Dejonge I found woodlice. They tickled my hand. I found slugs and snails, it was fun! I made a bug hotel at home. I got a plastic box and I put leaves in it. Then I put woodlice in it. www.plumptonmag.com 28 Festive Fair Saturday 29TH November 2014 12 Noon TO 4pm Final plans are being made for this year's popular event! Don't miss it - put it in your diary now! The apple pressing team had a very busy day on Saturday 11th October when we set up the community apple press outside the village hall so that people could juice their windfalls. Thanks to Mark Hayward, Mike Murphy and a willing team of small but sturdy helpers, we pressed about 100 litres of apple and grape juice. A huge thank you to all the helpers for all their hard work, and many thanks too to the jumble sale ladies for letting us use the kitchen. We’ve also loaned the press to several local groups and individuals this year, so it’s proving (as we hoped) a very welcome community resource. The apple season seems to have come rather earlier than usual this year, so we have decided to cancel the planned second apple pressing day on 8th November. But if you do have a heavy late crop, please get in touch and we can arrange a one-off pressing for you. Please ring 01273 890 219.

Do you have a place in the Brighton or London Marathon in 2015? Would you like to run and raise money for St Peter & St James Hospice? The Hospice is looking for individuals to take on the challenge and fundraise to support the work St Peter & St James carries out for the local community. The Hospice is looking for individuals to run for it in the Brighton Marathon (12 April 2015) and/or the London Marathon (26 April 2015). If you have had your place confirmed and would like to support St Peter & St James, then please contact the Hospice. There are also some charity places available. St Peter & St James will support you throughout your fundraising efforts and every runner will receive a branded running vest to wear on the day. Marie Robson, Events & Publicity Officer, said, “Every year I am overwhelmed, not only by the commitment and enthusiasm shown by individuals who take on the Brighton and London Marathons to support the Hospice, but also by the fantastic fundraising efforts in raising a truly inspirational amount of funds towards the vital work of St Peter & St James. Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining our team for 2015.” In order to give all members an opportunity to 'have a say' in the running of the Society's affairs the Constitution was refreshed in 2010 and approved by the membership at the AGM later that same year. One of the new clauses brought the Society in line with the method recommended by the Royal Horticultural Society and adopted by many horticultural societies across the country i.e. that officers should serve on the Committee for no longer than 5 years. The result of this is that at the AGM in 2015 a number of Officers are due to stand down including the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer. Therefore in order that the Society can continue to function we urgently need to 'recruit' new members to the Committee. If you think that you might be interested in serving as an Officer, why not join the Committee as an ordinary member for one year through 2015 and if you like the feel of it perhaps put your name forward for election as an Officer at the AGM in 2015. There are only 5 committee meetings a year – so not a huge time commitment. If you are interested please do get in touch with current Chairman, Alan Pilfold on 01273 475594 or [email protected], or Honorary Treasurer, Carole Nicholson on 01273 891725 or [email protected] or come to the AGM on Friday 21st November at 7.30pm in the Small Village Hall. We look forward to hearing from you - please don't let this wonderful village Society have to fold! PLUMPTON TENNIS CLUB NEWS NOVEMBER 2014 CLUBHOUSE PROJECT NEWS The great news is that Sport England has awarded us some further funding which should enable us to complete our new clubhouse.

If recaptured by us they will be re-weighed to see how well they are surviving the winter. If eventually recovered far away each individual can be traced by the British Museum address and unique number on each ring to the ringing site. R.J.L. We often hear how the changes in farming practises hasve a detrimental effect on wildlife so it is interesting to see how the growing of Maize for cattle feed benefits many creatures. A dense plot of maize resembles a reed bed and birds usually found in similar habitats make use of it. Swallows roost in large numbers in maize, the flock making several passes over the crop at nightfall and with each sweep more alight until all are roosting safely. Reed and Sedge Warblers find the same sort of insect food in the maize as in reeds and during migration times can be found well away from water. I have ringed each of these this summer in my garden, not far from a crop of maize. Not perhaps so welcome are the visits by Roe Deer and Badgers that can take out a large area in the centre of the field, not obvious until the harvesting machinery opens it up. Badgers roll against the stems of the plants and devour the cobs they have knocked down. I was fortunate that my tiny patch of sweet corn was left alone with the attraction of a greater area close by. Now at the beginning of October flocks are appearing in the fields. On the grass Meadow Pipits rise up as they are approached their high pitched notes and rather dangling flight diagnostic to their identity. Because they are found in open places, they might be unknown to many but the experienced birders. About the size of a Robin but resembling a small thrush they are coloured brownish olive, have a speckled breast and white outer tail feathers that show well as they fly away. Starlings are arriving from the Continent to join the local population to forage the fields for Leather-jackets the larvae of Crane Flies (Daddy Longlegs) that do damage to the roots of grass plants so are beneficial to Agriculture. They also feed on the maize kernels from the balanced ration of the dairy cows in the winter housing. This is not so welcome. The Game cover crops are full of seeds for the Pheasants but this also attracts many small birds as a food supply always does. Goldfinches, Linnets and Yellowhammers will be the most numerous but already a couple of Reed Buntings have been identified. The aim is to cover these areas to record the spin off benefits to wild birds.

There was a collision reported on 03/10 at 15:15 which involved a car and a tractor. This resulted in minor injuries. Cold callers – There have been several reports from Plumpton residents about telephone scams recently. The 2 common calls seem to be callers claiming to be from Windows and callers claiming to be from a telephone preference service. Both ask for personal details that they should not be asking for such as passwords and bank details. Nobody who calls you should be asking for your personal or bank details so please do not provide them. Residents are also reminded about the risks of internet and postal fraud. If you receive mail stating you have won money and to claim you need to send money, do not believe it. If you are concerned about something which may be a scam you can always contact your local PCSO for advice. Where as some door to door callers are genuine, please remain vigilant. Do not grant them access to your house unless they are there by appointment and do not provide them with any personal details. If you have any problems with cold callers please call police.

Drivers should also remember the dangers that are caused by parking on the pavement. Any vehicle seen to be causing a danger will be ticketed.

The commons had been very dry but the winter rains will restore the water courses and make those damp areas come alive again. Raising funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity (Registered Charity No 1095197) We attended the Newick Flower Show with our display tent. We held our first Indoor meeting of the winter season on 18th September and our speaker Tony Turk told us about the History and Wild Life of Newick Common. It was fascinating to hear about how much the area has changed and the ongoing work and restoration.

Of course there are invertebrates you might not want in your garden, but maintaining a diversity encourages a balance of pests and benefactors. You can buy (or make) specialist homes for such beneficial beasts as ladybirds and lacewings, earwigs and bees, or you can build a ‘bug hotel’ with a range of accommodation and other facilities to suit a wide range of ‘clients’. It can add a bit of structure to an otherwise rather plain garden and, with sufficient imagination, you can call it art. Perhaps the most common form is based on the use of wooden pallets. The idea is first to make a firm flat foundation on which you can sit the edges of a pallet. You can do this with bricks, say piers of two bricks with gaps between the piers that allow access to the space inside. Wooden pallets usually have the top surface with closely adjacent crosspieces and the lower surface with few well-spaced cross members. Lay a wooden pallet upside down on the bricks and then lay more pallets on top, alternate ways up but ensuring the top one is with the top uppermost. About six pallets height is plenty. As you fit the pallets you need to fill up the spaces between with a range of material that will create nooks and crannies of various sizes and of a variety of materials. The bottom layer between the bricks can include some sand for things to burrow into and some harder material (such as bits of bricks and tile). Off the ground you can use a wide range of recycled materials including dead wood of various sizes, hollow stemmed plants (or even used drinking straws), straw and hay, logs with small holes drilled in them, dry leaves, bark, pine cones, brick/tile/ pipe/flower pot rubble. By grouping these materials, various compartments of the structure will appeal to different animals. The top needs to have some protection, which can be provided by roofing felt or ridge tiles but it is probably good to allow some rain in to the upper levels. There have been experiments with green roofs (turf and other plants) but I’m not sure how well they will last. Within the structure there needs to be protected dry areas (e.g. below tiles or slates), while generally the structure should be humid with some damper areas. You will see that a bug hotel can provide a use for many of those miscellaneous bits of material that tend to accumulate in garden corners pending disposal. As for siting the structure, there are creatures like the bees that like it dry and sunny, but most will be looking for shade. You can position your structure so that parts of it get some sun at some time of day. It is also useful to site the structure close to other wildlife-friendly features such as a hedge or a pond. Your bug hotel can provide a home or shelter for a wide range of creatures, including frogs, toads and newts – even hedgehogs with a bit of planning, and it may be used for nesting by some birds such as robin or wren. Searching for ‘bug hotel’ on the internet produces an impressive range of designs, including some that would challenge a lot of architectural designs for humans’ homes, and an array of other products suitable for encouraging wildlife to the garden. Plumpton Primary School has a bug hotel, which we recently renovated with a lot of help from the children. Armed with pots and trays, the children collected the best part of 40 different kinds of wildlife, all of which we released back into the rebuilt hotel. The children have also written about the event and the school took some photos . Tony Hutson and James Otway Plumpton WI OctoberMeeting Following our AGM we enjoyed a cheese tasting with 'Say cheese of Sussex' which was very enjoyable. Next month’s meeting is on Wednesday 12 November when Tony Harris will talk about Henry VIII and his wives. We meet at 7.30 in the Village Hall and visitors are always welcome. Marilyn Nye 23 www.plumptonmag.com Footpath Detective’s Diary: big as saucers. Far from feeling sinister the ravine and the dale were most beautiful and peaceful for our visit and we lingered a long time enjoying the sunshine and photographing the beautiful landscape in the soft warm light. November 2014 A Dry Trollers Gill Our path descended gently beside the beck to pass by Parcevall Hall and Gardens, the gardens are open to the public. As our path met the driveway of the Hall ahead was a spectacular view up to Simon’s Seat on Barden Fell. Our route back was along the lane through the hamlet of Skyreholme to the very pretty little village of Appletreewick in Wharfedale. The views into the dale to our left were wonderful. We had an opportunity to enjoy a few days in the Yorkshire Dales in the wonderful warm and dry September of this year. This arose from the duty of transporting a 19 year old and her belongings to Leeds to start at dance school. The belongings were more than plentiful and left no room for our usual play things so no bikes or canoes, just a tent and some walking shoes for us. Appletreewick has two very nice pubs. We just about resisted the first but failed to fight off the temptation when coming to the second and enjoyed a pint outside the Craven Arms, a 16th century pub on the estate of Sir William Craven aka Appletreewick’s own Dick Whittington who was born a pauper in Appletreewick in a cottage close to High Hall, sent to work in London where he worked his way up and became Lord mayor of London before he returned to the village having made his fortune, and to improve the High Hall and local amenities. His descendents became the Earls of Craven. Behind the pub and accessed through it is the Cruck Barn, constructed using traditional methods with high and steep pitch Ling heather thatched roof to provide an event and dinner venue. The crucks that support the roof are made from bent oak trees selected for this purpose and to create the ‘A’ shape of the roof. The pub has a wealth of local history and a warm friendly atmosphere, and I’ve been told by my cousin it does very good food. Whilst having a coffee in the lovely cafe in Burnsall we debated when the forecasted rain might really start and concluded we’d get a walk in. It was in fact quite sunny so off we set across Burnsall Bridge and up the lane toward Appletreewick. After crossing Hartlington Bridge we turned left onto Kail Lane track and a gradual climb onto moorland type pasture with lovely views back into Wharfedale. Once on the higher moorland the track changed from grass to stone and continued to a lane onto which we took a left turn to walk around a sharp bend before taking a path off to the right signed Skyreholme. The path was unclear and descended through rough grass with clear signs of old lead mining activity and off to our left was the pothole known as Hell Hole. We took care not to disappear down these old holes and mines and soon joined a clearer path that continued to descend to Skyreholme Beck, passing a mineshaft opening along the way which we nosily peered into. Refreshed we continued down the lane to take the footpath beside the campsite toward the River Wharfe, and to stroll its banks in the dappled sunshine back to Burnsall Bridge. The fly fishermen were taking advantage of the good weather too and made for a few more atmospheric photos in the low sunlight. We picked up our pace across the bridge to return to the cafe for a brew and a scone before closing time. We were now in Trollerdale, a lovely lush dale with babbling beck and high limestone crags that were glorious in the early autumn sun. We made the short detour to visit the lower entrance to Trollers Gill, a narrow limestone ravine through which can torrent the waters of Dry Gill to feed Skyreholme Beck but the dry weather had left the gill almost dry. The gill is narrow with jagged rocks of all shapes poking out high above. Local legend says that it is the haunt of the “Barquest”, the terrifying spectral hound of Craven which is said to have eyes as www. plumptonmag.com This walk is only a little more than 7 miles but allow time to admire and ponder as the landscape is beautiful. EJH 12 existing weeds. Try and eradicate tap rooted weeds such as Dandelions, Docks, Thistles and other deep rooters which continue to grow. Apply some well rooted manure or homemade compost to add nutrients into the soil ready for next season. CHLOE’S GARDENING TIPS – NOVEMBER Daylight hours are shorter in November but that should not stop us from getting on with winter tasks in the garden. Continue to plant spring flowering bulbs right up until December and to naturalize daffodils or crocus in grass, scatter handfuls of bulbs and plant them where they come to rest. Plant winter Pansies, Violas, Wallflowers, Primulas and ornamental cabbages (these are cabbages which are not edible and come in a range of fun colours) for winter colour. Plant bare-rooted or root balled (meaning roots are exposed or in bags and not supplied in pots) trees, shrubs, roses and hedging such as Hazel, Beech and Hawthorn. Provide food and water for garden birds as the berries from your shrubs will not be around all winter. Continue to rake up and remove leaves from borders, lawns, pots and ponds. Water features need to be removed and stored to prevent cracks from the freezing ice plus if you have fish, put a tennis ball or similar in small ponds so that oxygen is readily available. Plants which are at their best in November can include a number of shrubs and climbers with Autumn colour and berries such as Callicarpa, Ilex, Viburnums, Skimmia, Thuja, Erica and Calluna (Heathers and Heaths), Cornus (Dogwood), Jasminum (Winter Jasmine), Euonymus, Mahonia, Aucuba, Parthenocissus, Hamamelis and Cotinus. Some newly planted young shrubs such as Hydrangea, Rhododendron and Hebe are not fully hardy until established. Protect them in the winter by using polythene or straw, especially at their roots so that if they die off on top, they will recover and produce new growth in the spring. Prune back stems and faded flowers on your roses and trim deciduous shrubs (shrubs that loose their leaves in winter) – check on the internet or in your gardening books for pruning techniques.

Information and orders 01825 768544 When storing your vegetables, make sure they are not touching each other as this can cause them to rot. Brussels sprouts can be harvested now, especially if harsh weather beckons. Remove the leaves and store the stems in a cool, dry place. Vegetables such as leeks and parsnip can be left in the ground and harvested when required. Dig over any vacant vegetable plots/areas and remove any 21 www.plumptonmag.com A Night to Remember cont. Rock – Plumpton’s very own “Mod-fathers” – and this writer will definitely be going to their future gigs! The Plumptonfest committee (small “c”) were then well-represented, and these Open Mic regulars ably supported Andy with his usual excellent vocal renditions of rock songs old and new. His choice to perform his own version of the Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams” was particularly inspired. As Andy left the stage the band morphed into Paris, Plumpton, this time fronted by the wonderful Bob Bowie, performing with his ever present passion for music clearly evident in his storming version of The Killers “All These Things That I’ve Done”. Vicky Murphy, who’s vocal performances go from strength to strength, also delivered an extremely well-received version of “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’!”. With the evening drawing towards it’s conclusion the band morphed once again into The Committee (large “C”!) for a wonderful rendition of The Pogues “Thousands Are Sailing”. The penultimate act was The Giddy Brood, the extremely talented Peckham Family presenting an excellent selection of classic songs. Ros and Geoff, with son Ned on drums and the additional talents of guitar maestro Brian Wiseman completed their set with an awesome version of ELO’s Mr Blue Sky. To round off a wonderful and extremely well attended and well received evening, during which the bar ran out of beer – twice! – The Saucy Flapdragons once again took to the stage to keep everyone dancing. They were joined on stage by all of the evening’s performers for the finale, a rousing version of “500 Miles”, with everyone in the hall providing the inevitable loud and raucous backing vocals. This was the 8th bi-annual Plumptonfest, with the first event taking place in 2000. There are too many individuals to thank here but you all know who you are – doormen, bar staff, front of house team (inc kitchen duties throughout the day – you can never have too much tea, coffee, pizza & cake!), lighting, sound, stage crew, video cameraman, the Committee (big “C”!”), free mic hire and the ever patient and hard-working Lesley Hayman, who puts up with me ALL the time and without whom this could never happen. Not only was the evening a great event for the performers and audience alike but nearly £1500 was raised, with a half going to St Peter’s and St James’ Hospice and the balance to be distributed between the Honeybees Playgroup, Plumpton Activity Scheme and The Care Club. Don’t forget the Open Mic nights at The Fountain – keep your eye out for the ads in the Parish Mag or check at the pub – next date is Sunday 9th November 6.00 - 9.00pm And as for Plumptonfest ………..

Non-stop entertainment greeted the sell-out crowd of Festival-goers from the moment they arrived and from the very beginning it was obvious that this was going to be a night to remember. With over 50 performers to accommodate, the stage crew did a superb job of getting all 19 acts – yes 19! – on and off stage with good-natured efficiency, allowing all performers to present their talent with the benefit of professional sound, lighting and technical crews. The evening is designed to give local performers young and old the opportunity showcase their music, be they seasoned veterans or nervous beginners. All styles are welcomed and encouraged and this philosophy was clearly demonstrated at the start of the evening when the rocking opening from the six piece Saucy Flapdragons was followed by the beautiful singing of Abigail Brown. She was then joined by Jacqueline Bisset, Fiona Bird, Amanda Royle, Vanessa Hayward and Lyn Sinden for their superb close harmony rendition of California Dreaming. 12 year old concert pianist Reuben BrownHayward then took to the stage for a breath-taking virtuoso performance which had the audience spell-bound throughout. Young beginners Outta View then presented two of their own rock compositions before mother and daughter Margaret and Olivia took to the piano and stage where Olivia sang beautifully whilst Mum provided the wonderful piano accompaniment. Subject to Availability were next up, with Josh Symes on drums and his fellow students from Central Sussex College performing some tight well-crafted rock, including a great version of Twist and Shout. The Communists then took over (the stage – not the world!) to represent the slightly older members of the community, with Brendan and John providing some great punk influenced numbers. (There was no truth in the rumour that they’d be performing a Lenin & McCarthy number!)* In contrast the Three Amigos then presented three of their own songs, performed on vocals, two ukuleles and a cajon (look it up!), including a very upbeat but dark number about a builder called Fred. Panto stalwarts Carol Symes and Karen Spiers were next on stage, ably supported by the Peckham Family Band. Their first performance as a vocal duo was received with rapturous applause and we look forward to seeing them again soon (Panto Director take note!). Many of the performers are also regulars at the Open Mic nights and Clare Clarke provided her usual polished performance on vocals and acoustic guitar, ably supported on this occasion by her backing band, The Bruised Egos. Another Open Mic regular, Martin T King, performed one of his own numbers, backed by the extremely gifted guitarists Paul E Burriss and Matt Guez who then each showcased their own incredible talents with individual performances. HMS, featuring Graham Meheux were next up and, as ever, presented us with an energetic performance of classic rock tunes. The band were also joined on stage by Margaret and Olivia who provided the sweet and soulful backing vocals. Young classical guitarist Sam Segal had the audience enthralled by his upbeat and inspired performance, followed by 16 year old singer/songwriter Alfie Hayward who accompanied himself on guitar whilst presenting his own mature and lyrical songs. The Vinyl Capris were a revelation, providing their own distinctive brand of well-crafted and original 14 19 www.plumptonmag.com New Sussex Opera True to its tradition of introducing audiences to less familiar works by well-known composers, New Sussex Opera’s production of Weber’s Oberon brings a stellar cast to a work that marries a fantastical plot with delicate, tuneful music rich in subtle harmonies and beautiful orchestration. Heading the cast in the role of Reiza is South African born Sally Silver, who wowed the critics in the title role of Scottish Opera’s acclaimed production of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. Sally, who makes a welcome return to NSO after her 2011 performance in Gounod’s Mireille is joined on stage by Australian tenor Adrian Dwyer, Canadian tenor Adam Tunnicliffe, Irish mezzo Carolyn Dobbin and British baritone Damian Thantrey. Supporting the soloists will be the famous NSO chorus – augmented for this major production to a total of 44 experienced, disciplined voices – and a team of dancers. The international make-up of the cast mirrors the twists and turns of the plot, which switches with breath-taking speed from the caliph’s palace in Baghdad to the shores of the Tigris, a shipwreck on a Greek shore and the emir’s house in Tunis. But audiences will keep pace with the action thanks to a clear-voiced narrator, plus the fact that the opera will be sung in the original English. Marshalling the NSO’s creative forces is opera, stage and film director Max Key, whose next big assignment after Oberon will be a revival of the Flying Dutchman at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. “The plot of Oberon may be loosely based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream” says Max. “But it does have considerable contemporary resonance .” On the conductor’s rostrum and getting the best from the talented St Paul’s Sinfonia is Nicholas Jenkins, a familiar figure to NSO audiences – and, increasingly, to audiences across Europe. Musically, theatrically, artistically – NSO’s next major production will show audiences just what lies behind one of the world’s most famous overtures.
