SUMMARY:Christian Walker - Coleshill: National Trust's Heritage & Rural Skills Centre
DESCRIPTION:The Buscot and Coleshill Estate was largely taken on for the great Coleshill House\, built in the 1650s it struck a new model in design\, layout and craftsmanship that was to influence the English country houses for centuries.  Sadly the house burned down during its restoration and before it was legally gifted to the National Trust.  The estate became a sleeping giant covering over 7500 acres with over 1000 buildings and structures.  It  inspired many craftspeople and artists including William Morris\, Michie Herbert and Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie.  An idea emerged in 2017 to engage\, the National Trust’s first Heritage and Rural Skills Centre champions dying skills including connecting children and young people with skills.  Christian Walker\, General Manager for West Oxfordshire National Trust\, will take you through how the idea developed and how spaces were given new uses\, with the new ways of working being established to secure long term future for buildings on the estate and what future projects look like as the vision for a renewed creative estate is realised.

SUMMARY:Katherine Priddy with support from Rowell Road
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome back Katherine Priddy to Harwell Village Hall for a third time\, no doubt it will be a third sell out event. \nFebruary 2024 saw the release of Katherine Priddy’s eagerly awaited second album: The Pendulum Swing. Greeted by critical acclaim in the press including MOJO who called it “simply brilliant”\, the album landed at #1 in the official UK Folk Charts. It saw the likes of Iggy Pop\, Guy Garvey\, Craig Charles\, Mark Radcliffe and Gideon Coe giving it a spin whilst RTE in Ireland added tracks to their recommendations list for 3 weeks running. \nWith her biggest headline tour to date selling out most cities and her reputation growing\, she was asked to perform on the legendary Later.. with Jools Holland (25th May) on BBC Two. She now returns for the final run of The Pendulum Swing Tour in March 2025. \nSince Richard Thompson chose Priddy as “The Best Thing I’ve Heard All Year” in Mojo Magazine on the strength of her 2018 “Wolf” EP\, her star has risen exponentially. Winning fans from Guy Garvey\, Mark Radcliffe\, Stuart Maconie and the late Janice Long and garnering glowing press reviews across the board for The Eternal Rocks Beneath. Her live performances are engaging\, moving and amusing by turn\, delivering original songs with emotional maturity\, depth and particularly noteworthy lyrics. Despite the delicate nuances of her sound\, Katherine Priddy is not a fragile wallflower\, but a determined young woman making her mark. \nwww.katherinepriddy.co.uk \nSupport will be from Roswell Road\, who have played in Harwell several times. \nDoors and bar at 7pm\, music at 7:40pm. \n
