Karen Sharp
Saturday 26 May 2012
Karen took up the tenor saxophone whilst studying composition at the Royal Northern College of Music. With remarkable little fuss, Karen has risen from newcomer in the Humphrey Lyttelton's final band to being voted top tenor saxophonist in 2010's British Jazz Awards. Her style is so flexible she can move effortlessly from an old standard like `Bye Bye Baby' to her own ethereal title track, adjusting the sound through subtle shifts of tone and attack. Humph persuaded her to add baritone to her tenor, and she is equally impressive.

Funny Money
by Ray Cooney
Directed by Jo Boseley
19-23 June 2012 at 7.45pm
It's Henry's birthday and his wife, Jan, is preparing a birthday dinner for him and their friends Vic and Betty. Unfortunately Henry's late and when he does eventually arrive he wants to emigrate, immediately, to Barcelona with the suitcase of money he picked up on the underground. Then the police start to arrive, one with sad news and the other to question Henry. Can Henry keep the money? What will the police discover? Who's the passer by? Can Bill, the cabbie, really help?
This brilliant farce by Ray Cooney enjoyed a spectacular run at the Playhouse Theatre, London in 1995, starring Sylvia Syms, Trevor Bannister, Ray Cooney, Lynda Baron and Henry McGee.
