The Regency Singers, a Hastings based choir of mainly senior citizens,are giving a public concert at St Luke’s Church and Hall on Saturday 29th March of Popular Music and Songs from the Shows at 2.30p.m.

Entrance is free but there will be a retiring collection in aid of choir funds and the church. Refreshments will be served in the hall after the concert.

All Welcome.

It may seem strange for a web-site to move into print but that is what is happening to us!

On 26 April, we will publish our first book as a publishing house – Larkpress.

Over the next three years we will publish the complete Organs of 1066 Country and the first volume, Hastings, will include 29 extant organs with full specifications and colour photographs as well as a detailed biography of our local organ builder Samuel F Dalladay.

Future volumes will focus on the organs of Battle & Bexhill and then the wider diaspora and country villages, as well as an overview of the many organs we have lost.

The publishing price for Volume 1 is £7.50. It can be ordered in advance through this site or purchased on launch day – Saturday 26 April – as part of celebrations across Hastings. Further details of launch day will appear later in March.

The Melodians are holding three concerts this year, all with a small entrance fee to cover costs and a collection at the door for St.Michaels Hospice, their nominated charity.

Performances will, as usual, include music for choir organ and piano. The first concert is at

St.Peter and St.Paul Church in Parkstone Road on the 10th May at 7.00pm

then at St.Clements Church, Old Town on 14th June, at 7.00pm

and lastly at The Church in the Wood, Hollington, on 19th June at 7.00pm.

We look forward to seeing you there.

CHANGE OF VENUE

The meeting on Tuesday 11 March will now be at St Laurence Church, Catsfield at 7.30pm

The church is situated on the road leading from Catsfield to Crowhurst, on the brow of the hill, and parking is only available on the road side. It is recommended members and friends bring a torch as there is no street lighting. The church has toilet facilities and refreshments will be available as usual. We look forward to seeing you there.

We’re delighted to be kicking off the New Year in Eastbourne on Sunday 12 January with a fantastic concert of wintry favourites from Verdi, Dvo?ák and Tchaikovsky. Joining us is dynamic violinist Philippe Quint, who’s performed both on stage and on screen!

Sunday 12 January 2014 | 3.00pm | Eastbourne Congress Theatre

Verdi Ballet Music (Ballabili) from Macbeth
Dvo?ák Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 1 (Winter Daydreams)

Damian Iorio conductor
Philippe Quint violin

Award-winning violinist Philippe Quint is sure to dazzle the audience with his performance of Dvo?ák’s treacle-toned Violin Concerto, while the Orchestra comes into its own with Tchaikovsky’s First Symphony (Winter Daydreams), one of the first symphonies ever to be written by a Russian. Conductor Damian Iorio, world-renowned for his interpretations of opera, conducts the Orchestra in this concert which aptly opens with the ballet music from Verdi’s Macbeth.

Christmas concert

7th December, St Augustine’s Church  7.30pm

In addition to carols we all know and love, we have Christmas songs and arrangements by Ken Roberts, where the Cinque Ports Brass Ensemble get into Jazz, Swing and this year, Caribbean mode and Ken picks up his clarinet or sax and joins in the jam session. Great fun.
