Oh la la! Quartet
Close your eyes, you're in Paris...
Oh la la! mixes Parisian folk music (musette), impressionist music, French chanson with unforgettable 20’s upbeat to 50’s smooth jazz, film noir/nouvelle vague film music and the occasional rearranged cool 60’s French pop tune as well as original material from their upcoming album.
The dulcet tones of Parisian born Fifi la Mer's voice and the evocative sound of her accordion blended with the talents of Oliver Wilby on clarinet will take you straight back to that little café by the Eiffel tower, before the exuberance and beautiful sound of his saxophone they will transport you to that buzzy jazz club by Pigalle with the cool feel of Simon Picton on guitar and the groove of Julian Bury on double bass.
Oh la la! have performed over 1200 concerts during the past 10 years in venues up and down the country including Ronnie Scott's jazz club, Upstairs at Ronnie's, the Brasserie Zedel (Piccadilly), the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden), Wilton Music Hall, the National Theatre, St Martin in the fields, the Ignite, Elgar room and Cafe Verdi @ the Royal Albert hall. They have also played on the Orient Express, the Belle Vallee on the river Seine, at London fashion week at Somerset House, music festivals such as London City festival, Richmond world music festival, Bloomsbury festival, Old Gaffers, Royal Ascott and at the residence of the French ambassador in London.
A very entertaining, fun and romantic evening assured.

Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage
In The Dark We Grow - Exclusive Band Tour
A special one-off expanded band tour for the critically acclaimed folk duo. Following the success of their 2022 release Ink Of The Rosy Morning on Topic Records Hannah & Ben spent much of 2023 touring with the legendary Fairport Convention.
Now, with their new album In The Dark We Grow and a live show line-up featuring the inimitable Jon Thorne (Lamb, James Yorkston) on double bass, Hannah & Ben hit the road for the first time with a band of their own. Already so well known for their moving live performances, this unique musical collaboration promises to be balm for weariest ears.
Since emerging in 2016, Hannah & Ben have been defying all conventions of style, genre and compartmentalisation. A touch of ‘Americana’, yet quintessentially English. Traditional, yet contemporary, with their individual writing style. Playful and instinctive, they make music with such panache and natural chemistry it makes perfect sense.
Hannah Sanders has an alluring mystique and a voice of disarming purity that massages your senses. Ben Savage is a singular guitarist with a sound as distinctive as it is innovative. Together their harmonies and unique stage presence shimmer with an infectious passion and joy for the connection music offers.

Beginners/Gentle Yoga
Led by Julie Potter
This class is particularly suited to beginners, those returning to yoga having had a break, those with specific injuries or conditions or even those that consider themselves to be of a ‘certain age’ that might need a less challenging approach. We will cover general breathing practises, the basic and gentler postures, together with general information and possible discussion around movement and the potential difficulties we might come up against.
The aim will be to relax and enjoy.
The yoga I teach is an evolution of nearly 30 years of practice and study, with a broad experience of many styles and teachers. In recent years I have been moving away from ‘external’ evaluation of the postures and moving towards an ‘internal’ sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential and ‘felt’ approach, influenced by teachers who have been inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.
Please bring a blanket, a yoga / Pilates mat, and wear loose comfortable clothing
