New area reps, Lisa Henshall and Chris Reeve

4th March 2021 By Genevieve Rudd

Lisa Henshall is area rep for Harleston along with Nicky Stainton.

I’m an artist and a teacher and I run a pop-up gallery in Harleston.  As a massive fan of WBA,  I’m really excited to help promote and explore the opportunities in and around my local area.

My background is a traditional art school background, I studied Fine Art at Loughborough University and then Art Education at Cambridge University and I’ve painted and taught art since the late 90s in a variety of settings.

Sharing and promoting creativity is fundamental to my life and I see representing and supporting W&BA as an extension of this.  Thank you for this fantastic opportunity.

Chris Reeve is area rep for Bungay along with Ann Woolston.

I’m delighted to be asked to join the committee of W&BA, having been involved with the Guided Walks in the summer months for a number of years, and thoroughly enjoyed organising them.

My career has been as a Museum Curator, and for twelve years I was Keeper of Art  for St. Edmundsbury Borough Council. I took early retirement in 2000, and settled in Bungay taking a part-time role as Community Project Officer with Waveney District Council and then the Lowestoft Community Forum. This got me involved with many local groups assisting them with grant funding applications, and getting intergrated  into the welcoming, and vibrant ethos of our warm-hearted town.

Pakefield Singers

30th September 2023 By Jade Nice

Haydn – Beauty and Drama

Pakefield Singers present a special evening of choral treats.
Popular Pakefield Singers are next performing in St Margaret’s Church, Lowestoft at 7.30pm on Saturday 28th October. They are excited to be able to have their powerful sound combine with the Pakefield Players-led by Jim O’Toole. Vetta Wise will conduct.
On the programme are two iconic works by Joseph Haydn: his sweet and lyrical Missa Brevis in F, also known as the “Jugendmesse” (Youth Mass), written in his own youth: and also, his powerful and dramatic Nelson Mass, a mature product of the flowering of his great compositional gifts.
The programme also includes Monteverdi’s magical and well-loved setting of Psalm 112, Beatus Vir, sung by chamber group the Aurora Consort.
Spend an evening in the serene setting of St Margaret’s, surrounded by the beautiful sounds of instruments and voices …
Tickets – £15 (accompanied age 16 and under free)
From www.ticketsource.co.uk/pakefield-singers
Take Note Music Grove Road Lowestoft, and on the door. Unreserved seating

Ruth McCabe

24th September 2023 By Jade Nice

The George Farnham Gallery is hosting a solo show for Ruth McCabe’s work, between 3 and 21 October. This Saxmundham Gallery has recently been awarded 2023 winner for Best Independent Gallery in Suffolk, and Ruth is delighted that Gary and Michael will be curating and showcasing her work for ’Shore Lines’.
The exhibition will feature a selection of oils, watercolours and collage inspired by Ruth’s love of this edgy, vulnerable east coast, and of sea swimming through the year.
Undergraduate years in Botany and Zoology informed her about the importance of natural sea defences such as saltmarsh, and some of the work in the show celebrates these habitats and the role they play: so important now we have rising sea levels and climate change generating more frequent and powerful storm surges.
On the more playful side, Ruth has made a series of small, perfectly priced collaged pieces inspired by her experience of sea swimming as part of the brilliant group of human beings that is ’Sole Bay Swimmers.’ The latest of these collages is called ‘Hurry up Les’ and is shown here.
