Vincent Ray, Yorkshire born of Irish descent, is a self-taught painter who only started to paint at the age of 40.

Vincent was inspired by the landscape of his birth county and Ireland as well as scenes from paintings in larger galleries. He loved colour and his skies are dramatic. Occasionally, he would paint some figures and these were predominantly in the style of Lowry.

Vincent's artistic journey started with a gifted set of watercolours before he graduated to oils for a short time, but, as he was painting at the kitchen table, was persuaded to take up acrylics. Later he had a studio built in the garden.

He loved going to art galleries in Cork Street, London, looking at the art on display and chatting to the dealers.

This is a posthumous exhibition of his work presented by his wife.

Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.

If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.

If you've never played guitar you need to book on the Absolute Beginners course!

These classes are split by skills level;

Beginners A - Recently completed the Absolute Beginners course but still some way to go. Yet to tackle bar chords and complicated rhythms.

Beginners B - Well on the way and able to do bar chords

Beginners C - Almost Intermediate but not quite yet.

Dir: Levan Akin 2024 | 106 mins

Georgian and Turkish with English subtitles

A retired Georgian teacher sets out to reunite with her estranged trans niece in Levah Akin’s Crossing.

The bright, warm and novelistic new drama from Akin (And Then We Danced), Crossing won the Teddy Award Jury Prize for LGBTQ-themed films at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

Retired teacher Lia (Mzia Arabuli) promised her dying sister that she would seek out her long-lost daughter Tekla. Together with cocky young Achi (Lucas Kankava), who offers to be her guide, she sets off for Turkey to find Tekla in Istanbul’s trans community. But locating someone who doesn’t want to be found is hard. Can Evrim (Deniz Dumanlı), a street-smart lawyer fighting for trans rights, help them?

'A trio of excellent performances drives this intelligent film from Levan Akin, in which a Georgian woman and her young sidekick head to the big city' ★★★★ The Guardian
