A week today, November 9th, I’ll be back at the Weston Auditorium for the annual family concerts with the de Havilland Philharmonic, and conductor Robin Browning. I’ve been working hard on the show, writing words and planning pictures. And I’m quite certain it will be the best yet… it’s called HEROES AND VILLAINS!
The music is irresistible, and I’m particularly excited about Copland’s Billy the Kid, although Grieg’s Peer Gynt and Rossini’s William Tell are better known, perhaps.
Here’s a glimpse of my preliminary sketches for William Tell and Peer Gynt…
There are a few good seats left, but tickets are selling fast – hardly surprising as it costs less to hear a full symphony orchestra and watch me paint live than a family trip to the multiplex cinema! So act fast to grab those last few tickets. This concert will not be repeated – it’s a one off occasion. Any children who enjoyed the BBC Ten Pieces will LOVE this!
AND if you are coming, DON’T FORGET to buy Raffle Tickets before the performance! You could win one of the illustrations created live on stage! The money raised will support a charity I am very attached to: Book Aid International. You can read about their work HERE.
There are TWO performances on November 9th. To book online, follow the correct links:

And now, back to the practising…
“This is the tale of Billy the Kid An outlaw, he lived on the run, With his hat and horse for company, And his hand upon his gun…”
