With Faith Watson, leading member of The Natural Voice Network.
The course runs from 10am – 4:30pm and includes tea/coffee & biscuits. Please bring your own packed lunch.
Cost £35Whether you’re a confident acapella singer, or having a go for the first time, you’ll be able to join in fully. We’ll have a go at some short, straightforward songs that bring quick rewards, as well as some that offer a bit of a challenge for those who want it; we’ll sing in a few different styles and more than one language; there will be some gentle songs and some with toe-tapping rhythms; and scrumptious harmonies are absolutely guaranteed. All the songs will be learnt by ear, unencumbered by music scores and word sheets, so that we can immerse ourselves in the sounds we’ll create and in the beautiful environment we’ll be singing in.
Faith Watson is a member of the Natural Voice Network. She has been leading harmony singing workshops since 1998 and, through her business: Singing for Larks, she runs a regular harmony singing group in Greater Manchester, her own programme of day and weekend workshops around the UK, and one-off workshops, projects, holidays and events for other groups and organisations. She also offers training and mentoring to other natural voice leaders.
You're The Top - THE LIFE & SONGS OF COLE PORTER
19:30 6th September 2025
atYou're The Top - THE LIFE & SONGS OF COLE PORTER
19:30 - 22:00 6th September 2025
More InformationAfter her highly successful EDITH PIAF show here at The Edge last October, we’re thrilled to welcome back musical theatre actress Sally Jones (Evita, Into The Woods, Oliver) with her critically acclaimed tribute to one of the most successful songwriters of the 20th Century - the legendary COLE PORTER.
With world class songs made famous by the greats like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Billie Holliday, “YOU’RE THE TOP” takes the audience through the famous swing classics of the 40’s and 50’s and also celebrates the glorious and golden era of Broadway and Hollywood with the most memorable and catchy songs from Anything Goes, Kiss Me Kate and High Society.
In this thoroughly entertaining and uplifting performance Sally also gives a fascinating insight into the colourful and eventful life of this bon vivant - a life full of glamour, success, wild parties, challenges and also tragedy.
“YOU’RE THE TOP” features vintage and top quality songs that really have stood the test of time - classic songs like “Night & Day”, “You’re The Top”, “So In Love”, “It’s De-Lovely”, “My Heart Belongs To Daddy”, “Just One Of Those Things”, “I Get A Kick Out Of You”, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “Let’s Do It” and many more.
COLE PORTER was quite simply a genius and the pinnacle of wit and sophistication. From being one of the original Tin Pan Alley composers of New York City to his huge Broadway and Hollywood successes, he delighted audiences with a glittering torrent of over 900 songs. The bright surfaces of these gems - their catchy melodies and ingenious lyrics - made them instant hits. And their more subtle qualities and their musical and emotional depth have made them lasting standards, among the very best of the celebrated Great American Songbook.

More InformationFaces We Love: A Celebration of Portraiture at VAN Gallery
A fascinating new exhibition Faces We Love is on at the Visual Art Network - VAN Gallery in Shrewsbury's Darwin Shopping Centre unto; 11 October 2025.Faces We Love is a new exhibition exploring our timeless fascination with the human face and the features of animals through a diverse mix of artworks, on now until 11 October at the Visual Art Network (VAN) Gallery in the Darwin Shopping Centre.
From the very first cave paintings, some 27,000 years ago, humans have been compelled to represent faces. Babies can recognise familiar faces from as young as two to four months, and throughout history artists have continued to immortalise what it means to be human through portraiture. Faces We Love draws on this rich tradition, offering both realistic and abstract interpretations that capture character, mood, personality and emotion.
Faces We Love brings together the work of 21 artists and makers, each rising to the challenge of representing human and animal features in 2D and 3D forms. The result is a powerful experience that celebrates individuality while reflecting our shared human instinct to connect through recognition.
In addition to the main exhibition, 29 more artists and makers are showcasing ceramics, glass, jewellery and textiles across the gallery, highlighting the incredible breadth of creativity in Shropshire and beyond.
Visitors will also discover five specially curated displays, with three artists creating their own unique installations on the Artists’ Boards and two makers shaping the Makers’ Space. These personal curations offer an intimate glimpse into the creative process, allowing visitors to engage with the work in a more direct and personal way.
Run entirely by volunteer members, VAN Gallery not only showcases exciting new work but also plays an active role in promoting and lobbying for the visual arts across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.
Whether you are drawn to the precision of realism, the mystery of abstraction, or the joy of discovering new makers, Faces We Love offers something for everyone.

More InformationHIRD CLASS
A TITANIC STORY
A one-man theatre show based on the life of Titanic survivor Edward Dorking.Edward was gay. Openly gay, and on Wednesday, April 10th, 1912, he set sail for NYC on a ticket bought for him by his parents in the hope his American family could put him 'right'.
Third Class charts Edward's journey from boarding the Titanic to swimming for 30 minutes towards an already full collapsible lifeboat and how he, upon arriving in New York, would tour the Vaudeville circuit, recreating the stories for a fact-hungry public.
But Edward didn't want fame; he wanted revenge. Edward was coming for the upper classes.
Using music, movement, projection, and historical facts, Third Class tells the story of an unknown hero from a well-known story.

More InformationFaces We Love: A Celebration of Portraiture at VAN Gallery
A fascinating new exhibition Faces We Love is on at the Visual Art Network - VAN Gallery in Shrewsbury's Darwin Shopping Centre unto; 11 October 2025.Faces We Love is a new exhibition exploring our timeless fascination with the human face and the features of animals through a diverse mix of artworks, on now until 11 October at the Visual Art Network (VAN) Gallery in the Darwin Shopping Centre.
From the very first cave paintings, some 27,000 years ago, humans have been compelled to represent faces. Babies can recognise familiar faces from as young as two to four months, and throughout history artists have continued to immortalise what it means to be human through portraiture. Faces We Love draws on this rich tradition, offering both realistic and abstract interpretations that capture character, mood, personality and emotion.
Faces We Love brings together the work of 21 artists and makers, each rising to the challenge of representing human and animal features in 2D and 3D forms. The result is a powerful experience that celebrates individuality while reflecting our shared human instinct to connect through recognition.
In addition to the main exhibition, 29 more artists and makers are showcasing ceramics, glass, jewellery and textiles across the gallery, highlighting the incredible breadth of creativity in Shropshire and beyond.
Visitors will also discover five specially curated displays, with three artists creating their own unique installations on the Artists’ Boards and two makers shaping the Makers’ Space. These personal curations offer an intimate glimpse into the creative process, allowing visitors to engage with the work in a more direct and personal way.
Run entirely by volunteer members, VAN Gallery not only showcases exciting new work but also plays an active role in promoting and lobbying for the visual arts across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.
Whether you are drawn to the precision of realism, the mystery of abstraction, or the joy of discovering new makers, Faces We Love offers something for everyone.

“Each song is a nugget in a seam of precious stuff, hand hewn and lovingly put together” AmericanaUK
Described as a ‘master musician’ (Blues Matters), Amit Dattani, a distinctive voice in the folk scene releases his much anticipated second album, Wrong Kind of One in September 2025, alongside a cluster of live dates.
When acclaimed finger-style guitarist and songwriter Amit was diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition in 2018, the prognosis was devastating: just two more years of playing guitar before his hands would no longer cooperate. For a musician whose artistry was deeply rooted in the strings beneath his fingertips, it felt like an ending. But Wrong Kind of One is proof that some stories don’t end the way they’re expected to.

Quatt Village HallMore InformationInfluenced by John Martyn, Damien Rice and Nick Drake, Joe is really at home interacting with his audience.
By his own words…
“ the oldest – ‘new kid on the block’ in the folk world in the last 12 years”, he brings a life’s experience, portrayed in a contemporary way , weaving humorous back-stories with sensitive, thought provoking songs, soothing melodies and imaginative metaphors that intersperse, carefully crafted lyrical pictures.
He can have you laughing at the introduction and crying three minutes later from the beauty of an emotional experience.
A singer songwriter who absolutely, writes and performs from the soul.
"Telling a story that people can relate to, is so important to me with my songs, but what comes first, every time, is the sound - always searching for open chords, dissonance, resonance, tension... and from that comes an atmosphere, a direction of feeling that the song needs to take, that almost describes the lyrics that follow."

Please bring your own drinks
Food refreshments available to purchase.

More InformationFaces We Love: A Celebration of Portraiture at VAN Gallery
A fascinating new exhibition Faces We Love is on at the Visual Art Network - VAN Gallery in Shrewsbury's Darwin Shopping Centre unto; 11 October 2025.Faces We Love is a new exhibition exploring our timeless fascination with the human face and the features of animals through a diverse mix of artworks, on now until 11 October at the Visual Art Network (VAN) Gallery in the Darwin Shopping Centre.
From the very first cave paintings, some 27,000 years ago, humans have been compelled to represent faces. Babies can recognise familiar faces from as young as two to four months, and throughout history artists have continued to immortalise what it means to be human through portraiture. Faces We Love draws on this rich tradition, offering both realistic and abstract interpretations that capture character, mood, personality and emotion.
Faces We Love brings together the work of 21 artists and makers, each rising to the challenge of representing human and animal features in 2D and 3D forms. The result is a powerful experience that celebrates individuality while reflecting our shared human instinct to connect through recognition.
In addition to the main exhibition, 29 more artists and makers are showcasing ceramics, glass, jewellery and textiles across the gallery, highlighting the incredible breadth of creativity in Shropshire and beyond.
Visitors will also discover five specially curated displays, with three artists creating their own unique installations on the Artists’ Boards and two makers shaping the Makers’ Space. These personal curations offer an intimate glimpse into the creative process, allowing visitors to engage with the work in a more direct and personal way.
Run entirely by volunteer members, VAN Gallery not only showcases exciting new work but also plays an active role in promoting and lobbying for the visual arts across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.
Whether you are drawn to the precision of realism, the mystery of abstraction, or the joy of discovering new makers, Faces We Love offers something for everyone.

Quatt Village HallMore InformationInfluenced by John Martyn, Damien Rice and Nick Drake, Joe is really at home interacting with his audience.
By his own words…
“ the oldest – ‘new kid on the block’ in the folk world in the last 12 years”, he brings a life’s experience, portrayed in a contemporary way , weaving humorous back-stories with sensitive, thought provoking songs, soothing melodies and imaginative metaphors that intersperse, carefully crafted lyrical pictures.
He can have you laughing at the introduction and crying three minutes later from the beauty of an emotional experience.
A singer songwriter who absolutely, writes and performs from the soul.
"Telling a story that people can relate to, is so important to me with my songs, but what comes first, every time, is the sound - always searching for open chords, dissonance, resonance, tension... and from that comes an atmosphere, a direction of feeling that the song needs to take, that almost describes the lyrics that follow."
£12 per Ticket Starts at 8pm
Please bring your own drinks
Food refreshments available to purchase.
