RADVENTURES

RadVentures’ musical hat trick! Troubadours; World Music Reggae, funk & Samba; Jazz-fusion, gypsy music, flamenco dancing.

RadVentures hosts a hat trick of musical gems in February, April and May 2010; three events, three totally different styles, bring some of the best touring musicians out of the cities into smaller rural communities, courtesy of the Village Ventures touring scheme.

The musical feast launches on Friday February 5th.  Singer-songwriter Reg Meuross, accompanied by vocalist and cellist Bethany Porter, treats his audience to a menu of his own songs.  These range from stories about the real Dick Turpin to The Pilgrim Fathers, from tragic WW1 tales of young soldiers executed for desertion to Elvis, from the Eyam plague to star-crossed lovers.

Reg is a rare breed, a true English troubadour, a singer-songwriter of pure class with a major national following and impressive reviews.  He’s an entertainer that offers wry, witty observations and beautiful self-penned songs, complemented by a splendid voice and fine guitar playing.  He is accompanied on his national tour by Bethany Porter, talented young cellist, singer and ukulele player.

 

First event:

Friday Feb 5th at Grange Hall, Radcliffe on Trent.

Café style; audience brings own drinks and nibbles

Start time 8pm. Tickets £8 from Radcliffe’s National Dry Cleaners, Main Road

LINK magazine

linkLINK is the Church and Community Magazine for Radcliffe-on-Trent and Shelford.

It is well established in the area and has a print run of 1,100 copies each month. Many people who have no other contact with the churches are reached by it.

This year two series of articles have added interest to the magazine. Thanks are due to David Hancock and Dave Townsend for “Treading less Heavily” and “The Church Warden’s Bike Ride” respectively. Is there anyone else who could share enthusiasms or beliefs or experiences with us all? Your ideas for a series or for just one article will be warmly welcomed. Please get in touch.

It is good to report that an increasing number of community organisations want to use our magazine to give news of their activities. A lot of people take LINK, although the competition from glossy free publications is real. We are very aware of the need to keep our presentation lively and up to date. With this in mind we are exploring ideas for a new look in the autumn to tie in with the new hall coming into full use.

We hope that visitors to the St Mary’s website will before long be able to view back copies of LINK three months after publication. In this way people who do not know this area can learn more about the life of our churches and communities.
