Chris Difford: Not Only... But Also

Being on tour is something I really enjoy, seeing people and being with people is part of my experience as a performer.

I will be playing songs from the Squeeze catalogue and from the solo albums I have recorded over the last 23 years.

My story is told though stand up and some sit down, a trip back to my council estate in South London, from my very first lyrical expression to the dressing rooms of this show.

Watercolour Landscapes Workshop

In this relaxing and informative workshop, participants will be guided through a step by step process of creating a watercolour landscape of their choice.

We will cover basic techniques necessary to achieve a beautiful watercolour painting, with time enough to complete a small watercolour study. The aim is to demystify the watercolour process and build confidence in techniques.

This workshop is led by the wonderfully talented artist Julia Bidoli who works, teaches and exhibits both locally and around the wider Yorkshire region.

All materials are included.
