Performing Rights Society (PRS) Promoters Award 2011/2012

For the two previous years we received one of the PRS Promoters Awards, which helped us book artists that might not have appeared at the club. Due to the valiant efforts of Kathryn Shackleton, having applied to the PRS in 2011, we were again successful in September last year in receiving an award of £1,000 for the current season. The award scheme is administered by Jazz Services.

So far in the series of concerts being presented under the PRS umbrella for 2011/12 this has seen performances firstly by Kairos 4tet in September last year and then in October the Alex Wilson Trio.

The next PRS concert take place in January with the quartet of pianist Zoe Rahman, followed by the next concert at the beginning of February by Arnie Somogy’s Ambulance.

Bobby Wellins CD Time Gentlemen Please

This latest CD by Bobby, released on Trio Records label, was recorded during the day on 8th June 2010 at our regular weekly venue at Friends Provident by Andy Cleyndert.

Dedicated to the late Martin Drew, the quartet features the American based British drummer Mark Taylor, who at the time was back in the UK on a short visit. A video of the recording, taken by Andy, can be found by visiting www.triorecords.co.uk.  Copies of the CD are still available from ourselves on any Thursday evening at the special price of £10.

Menuhin  Hall

We have since 2006 been privileged to present each year a concert at this superb 300 seater acoustic venue, based on the site of the Yehudi Menuhin School in Stoke d'Abernon. Our connection with the Menuhin was instigated by the late John Usher, who for many years was at the forefront of the local arts scene in the Mole Valley area  Previous concerts have featured Stan Tracey performing his own composition Under Milk Wood, John Taylor and Gwilym Simcock, Acoustic Triangle, Cleo Laine and Acker Bilk, with the most recent concert being a sell-out performance by John Williams and John Etheridge.  Watch this space for details of our October 2012 concert.

Venue Name

Following a corporate change of name, the venue is now known as Friends Life Sports and Social Club. As you approach the venue from Pixham Lane both the flag and entrance sign show Friends Life, replacing the previous name of Friends Provident.
