9 SATURDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER PM Trevor Marriott is a retired British Police murder squad detective, and leading Ripper expert, who since 2002 has been conducting a cold case investigation into The Whitechapel Murders of 1888 which were attributed to a fearsome killer who came to be known as Jack the Ripper. His ongoing investigation would disprove the accepted theory that the killer, after killing some of the victims, removed vital organs from their bodies at the crime scenes. Further investigative work would uncover secret Metropolitan Police Special Branch records in which four new suspects are named and the contents of which now eliminate a number of the prime suspects who have been continuously investigated over the ensuing years. Trevor Marriott now believes that all of The Whitechapel Murders were not committed by the same killer and in fact Jack the Ripper may have been nothing more than an urban myth created by sensational journalism at the time of the murders. MEDI SEPTEMBER 2013 Jack THE RIPPER A 21ST CENTURY INVESTIGATION PRESENTED BY TREVOR MARRIOTT 125th ANNIVERSARY TOUR His one man show is packed with pictures from 1888 showing original crime scene photographs of the victims and the suspects together with many other original photographs from Sioe un dyn gan gyn-blismon ac un o arbenigwyr blaenaf ar y llofrudd Whitechapel enwog, Jack the Ripper. Rhybudd: bydd rhai delweddau o r sioe yn anaddas i rai pobl. This show contains some images of a graphic and disturbing nature. However adequate warning will be given when these will be shown to avoid any alarm and distress in the audience.

27 TACHWEDD NOVEMBER 2013 FRIDAY 22ND NOVEMBER AM A Celebration of the work of Benjamin Britten on what would have been his 100th Birthday. ST CECILIA S DAY S P E C I A L S C R E E N I N G O F Introduced by Elis Jones Elis is a graduate in Modern Foreign Languages, a qualified teacher and librarian. His career started as a teacher of German and French; among other teaching work he undertook in the early 1970s, he was an extra mural lecturer in Film Appreciation at the School of Art in Shrewsbury. This Lauded 1936 documentary, showing the various stages and procedures of the operation of the Royal Mail train delivery service, remains one of the most instantly recognised films in British film history. It begins with a voiceover commentary describing how the mail is collected for transit. Then, as the train proceeds along the course of its journey, we are shown the various regional railway stations at which it collects and deposits its cargo. Inside the train the process of sorting takes place. As it nears its destination there is a sequence - the best known in the film - in which WH Auden s spoken verse and Benjamin Britten s music are combined over montage images of racing train wheels. Birthday lunch of sandwiches and birthday cake prepared and served by students of Themes Restaurant based here on the Newtown Campus. FRIDAY AFTERNOONS A Song Cycle for Children In the early 1930 s Benjamin Britten wrote this collection of simple songs, with witty piano accompaniments dedicated to his schoolmaster brother Robert and the boys of Clive House Prep school in Prestatyn. 80 years later, in the centenary of Britten s birth over one hundred and forty local school children have been working hard learning these songs. Don t miss out on the opportunity to support children from Berriew, Montgomery, Castle Caereinion, Llanidloes, Ysgol Dafydd Llwyd and Hafren Primary Schools as they take to the stage. As part of the Britten 100 celebrations, performances of this song cycle are being performed all over the UK. Sioe i ddathlu canmlwyddiant un o brif ffigyrau cerddoriaeth glasurol.

28 TACHWEDD NOVEMBER 2013 SATURDAY 23RD NOVEMBER PM COR MEIBION v FRONCYSYLLTE with special guest Kathryn Rudge The Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir has been a competitive choir since its inception in 1947 and during the first few years they were often quite severely criticised in competition. They persevered however, as adjudication is always constructive, and as a result the choir rapidly gained in competence. Wins in various Eisteddfods in Wales culminated in The Double when the Choir won first place in both the National Eisteddfod of Wales and the International Musical Eisteddfod in The Choir maintained its record of success in competition into the new millenium and has toured extensively in both Europe and North America. In 2005 the Choir was performing at the wedding of the son of the Choir s President where Daniel Glatman, the Manager of the successful band Blue was a guest. When I first saw them they were absolutely fantastic, he said. They just blew me away and I realised we just had to capture that passion and the amazing sound in a recording studio. He approached the choir with a view to a recording contract and true to his word persuaded Universal Music to sign the Choir to a three CD contract and the first Voices of the Valley was released in Incredibly it went to Gold Disc within three days of release and ultimately to double Platinum. Now with a DVD and 5 CDs under its belt the Choir has sales in more than thirty countries and tracks from the CDs have been selected for inclusion on fifty or so high-profile albums.

Having established the longest serving line-up of their career, the departure of guitarist Ken Nicol necessitated a change of personnel and, with the addition of Julian Littman and Pete Zorn, the band re-emerged as a six piece for the first time in many years. Prosiect newydd, cyffroes, elenni, sydd yn seliedig ar waith yr awdur Terry Pratchet. Gyda r band yn creu record ar sail nofel Pratchet Wintersmith.

Now the two are to collaborate on a brand new project, a record based on Pratchett s Wintersmith novel. The subject matter is completely appropriate for Steeleye Span; a tale of ancient rituals and secret folk dances that perfectly complements their previous work whilst taking it in new directions. The resulting album will be released in the second half of the year... TICKETS 19 CONCESSIONS 16 T I C K E T S & I N F O R M A T I O N

37 GALLERY BAR SARA PHILPOTT Early September - Mid November 2013 Sara Philpott graduated from the Central School of Art and Design, London, in Her paintings are shown mainly in London and in selected Welsh galleries, and her work with private presses such as Gwasg Gregynog and the Old Stile Press features in public and private collections worldwide. Based upon the belief that the most valuable qualities in life are those which cannot easily be seen, only felt; the artist works in the hope that by so scrutinising the visible world, the invisible might be revealed. The work teeters on the tightrope between the aspiration of the way things could be and the way things appear to be in reality. Depicting the natural world, the work is made with thin veils of intensely pigmented traditional oil colours. All welcome at the launch on Saturday 7th September at 2.30pm SEATING PLAN TICKETS 00 CONCESSIONS 00 T I C K E T S & I N F O R M A T I O N
