The Phantom Of The Open

Screening: Phantom of the Open - Evercreech Village Hall, Saturday 19th March at 7.15pm

'The heart-warming true story of Maurice Flitcroft, who entered the 1976 Open despite never playing a round of golf before. The extraordinary story of an ordinary man, The Phantom of the Open is an uplifting and moving comedy-drama about pursuing your dreams and shooting for the stars, no matter what hand you're dealt.'

Join for a relaxing evening with refreshments available at the bar, and comfortable cabaret-style seating.

Doors will open at 18.30 for a 19.15 start.

Tickets are £5 for adults and £3.50 for children 12 and under, and can be booked in advance by emailing [email protected] or by calling/texting 07765 892004. (Children must be accompanied by an adult).

Nigel Kennedy and Peter Adams in Concert at Wells Cathedral

Nigel Kennedy will be performing at Wells Cathedral on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 March with a programme including music by Bach, Komeda, Kennedy & Sakamoto

Nigel will be joined for these concerts by cellist, Peter Adams, a renowned soloist and chamber musician.

These concerts will be the only chance to see Nigel Kennedy perform this programme in the UK this year!

Kennedy remains the bestselling violinist of all time. He singled-handedly paved the way for a new generation of artists, who have enjoyed success both in the classical field and in the mainstream. His virtuoso technique, unique talent and mass appeal have brought fresh perspectives to both the classical and contemporary repertoire.

Pushing at the boundaries that might constrain others, he has continued to pioneer new sounds and new methods of performance.

Single-minded, determined and utterly unique, Kennedy explores repertoire which spans classical, jazz, klezmer, rock and much, much more.

The Mayor's Concert 2023

The Mayor's Concert 2023 - Fri, 17 March 2023, 7pm, Cedars Hall The Liberty Wells BA5 2ST

The annual jamboree for young Wells bands is back at Cedars Hall in aid of the Mayor's charity, PROMISEworks. It really isn't a competition, but try telling that to the young musicians from The Blue School, Wells Cathedral School and new arrivals from WellsRocks at the Portway Annexe who are all hoping to make themselves overnight stars.

It's all helping to support Somerset's most vulnerable young people though, so give them a hand.
