Join us for an evening in the company of Diane Setterfield as she talks about new novel Once Upon a River, a spellbinding, multi layered mystery set in the 19th Century.
A dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames. The regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child. Hours later the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? Or can it be explained by science?
An exquisitely crafted multi-layered mystery brimming with folklore, suspense and romance, as well as with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age, Once Upon a River is as richly atmospheric as Setterfield’s bestseller The Thirteenth Tale.
We’re delighted to welcome Diane to Oswestry for our first fiction event of 2019!

Join one of Britain’s finest thriller writers as Gerald Seymour talks about his latest novel, Battle Sight Zero.
The Kalashnikov AK47. A weapon with a unique image. A symbol of freedom fighters and terrorists across the globe. Undercover officer Andy Knight has infiltrated an extremist group intent on bringing the rifle to Britain – something MI5 have been struggling for years to prevent.
He befriends Zeinab, the young Muslim student from Yorkshire who is at the centre of the plot. All Zeinab needs to do is travel to the impoverished high-rise estates of Marseilles and bring one rifle home on a test run. Then many more will follow – and with them would come killing on an horrendous scale.
Supremely suspenseful, Battle Sight Zero follows Andy and Zeinab to the lethal badlands of the French port city, simultaneously tracking the extraordinary life journey of the blood-soaked weapon they are destined to be handed there.
Gerald Seymour first exploded onto the literary scene in 1975 with the massive bestseller HARRY’S GAME. Many books later he’s still going strong! We’re delighted to welcome one of the iconic thriller writers to Oswestry.
Tickets: £5 (redeemable against a signed copy of Battle Sight Zero). Includes a glass of wine / soft drink on arrival. Tickets available from the bookshop, or purchase online (with booking fee).
Looking for your next page turner? Join Laura Shepherd-Robinson as she talks about Blood & Sugar, her debut historical crime thriller.
June, 1781. An unidentified body hangs upon a hook at Deptford Dock – horribly tortured and branded with a slaver’s mark.
Some days later, Captain Harry Corsham – a war hero embarking upon a promising parliamentary career – is visited by the sister of an old friend. Her brother, passionate abolitionist Tad Archer, had been about to expose a secret that he believed could cause irreparable damage to the British slaving industry. He’d said people were trying to kill him, and now he is missing . . .
To discover what happened to Tad, Harry is forced to pick up the threads of his friend’s investigation, delving into the heart of the conspiracy Tad had unearthed. His investigation will threaten his political prospects, his family’s happiness, and force a reckoning with his past, risking the revelation of secrets that have the power to destroy him.
And that is only if he can survive the mortal dangers awaiting him in Deptford . . .
Laura Shepherd-Robinson is a major new talent. With Blood & Sugar she has written a compelling and unsparing novel taking us into dark and desperate episodes from England’s history, the consequences of which are still with us today. We’re delighted to welcome her to Oswestry!
Tickets: £5 (redeemable against a signed copy of Blood and Sugar). Includes a glass of wine / soft drink on arrival. Tickets available from the bookshop, or purchase online (with booking fee).

Frank Foucault.
Simply put, Frank will redefine how you see comedy.
After successfully touring his solo show “Shoes” around various comedy festivals (including a wondrous, 4 star performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival), he has decided to come to Oswestry… because he’s a maverick like that.
Shoes featured stories about dating and relationships, told via the medium of shoes.
As Frank says himself, “It’s better than it sounds.”
No shoes will be harmed during his performance, although we take no responsibility for sides getting split.
•”A tiny work of comic genius” – The Scotsman
•”The audience watched him indulge in an intimate relationship with a vase of flowers… ☆☆☆☆” – Broadway Baby
•”Frank will make you laugh or feel like the world is missing something tremendously funny that only he can show you” – Welsh Unsigned Stand Up Awards

Nigel Lovell
What have Russell Howard, Miranda Hart and Tim Minchin got in common?
They have all had 1 star reviews.
Nigel holds a yearly show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival called “The Worst Show on the Fringe” – a compilation show for acts who have received such reviews – usually due to drunken audiences, technical failures, miserable reviewers… or because they were rubbish.
•”Wonderful ☆☆☆☆” – The Scotsman.
•”Painfully Funny ☆☆☆☆” – TheWeeReview.com

•Appeared on BBC’s Charlie Brooker’s Election Wipe
Paul Campbell
There’s no real way to describe Paul.
He loves drinking milk.
He’s a new comedian who is already barging his way onto quality line-ups (such as this one).
He really loves drinking milk.
His choice in knitwear is fabulous.
Knitwear and milk do NOT mix.
•”Absolutely brilliant” – Rhyl Comedy Club
•Cheshire Cat Comedy new comedian of the year 2018 runner up
Roger Swift.
He’s been performing on the comedy circuit for over 9 years and has developed a following for his uber-alternative, prop-based pun-lunacy.
Cringy levels of sheer genius at 100 MPH with more home made props than you’ve ever seen before.
Expect corny jokes, don’t expect observational humour.
If you don’t “get” Roger Swift, then you don’t “get” comedy.
•”A couple of people were laughing that hard, I worried for their health. He’s a demented genius” – Notts Comedy Review
•”He is a cross between Tim Vine, Timmy Mallet and Charlie Chuck… People try to work out if he’s play-acting or going through some kind of trauma. The jury is out so you decide” – Chortle.co.uk

Hand Drums & Percussion – A Full Day Course with Rick Wilson
GIFT VOUCHERS: For this event gift vouchers are available. Please contact us on 01691 662196 for more information on this offer.
This day is a wonderful opportunity for newcomers as well as seasoned hand drum and percussion enthusiasts of all ages to work intensively on developing their understanding of rhythm and exercise their manual dexterity under the guidance of professional drummer and percussionist Rick Wilson.
Rick is an experienced tutor of many years, drawing from his extensive repertoire of Indian, African and South American rhythms, which he makes accessible in astonishingly creative ways whilst providing a joyful and focused learning experience.
The workshop is designed around aspects of percussion such as the sounds of the drum, hand and finger techniques, solid, basic timekeeping, body rhythms, spoken words as a basis of rhythm, call and response rhythms, 2, 3 and 4 part rhythms, as well as a variety of other rhythmic activities that, besides drums, involve the use of bells, gongs, chime bars, shakers and more or less anything else that comes to hand and springs to mind.
Schedule for the day:
10.30am – 1pm Morning Session
1pm – 2pm Free Lunch in the Pews: Your hosts at The Hermon will serve a delicious, vegetarian lunch of homemade soup, bread and fresh salad for all participants to enjoy – a lovely opportunity to socialize and regain strength for the afternoon session! Drinks can be purchased from our in-house bar.
2pm – 4pm Afternoon Session
Please bring your own drum and percussion instruments if you have any, but no worries, there will be plenty of instruments at hand! Whatever your experience, plenty or none at all, be sure to bring your enthusiasm – come and make a joyful noise!
DRUM CIRCLE FORECAST: Rick will continue his monthly drum circle at The Hermon with 2-hour sessions on 20th April, 18th May, 15th June and 20th July – plenty of opportunity for extending your gained skills in this friendly group!

Hermon Folk: Hannah James & Toby Kuhn – UK/France Collaboration
One year into the Hermon Folk series, we are delighted to open the 2019 season with Folk duo Hannah James & Toby Kuhn. In this small but beautiful tour, award-winning folk musician, dancer and composer Hannah James debuts her brand new duo collaboration with outstanding French cellist Toby Kuhn.
‘Their music is soulful, original and conversational. The combination of accordion and cello allows for a huge palette of sounds and textures which lift James’s pure voice and deeply honest song writing. In the next breath they switch to choppy rhythms and joyful interplay between cello and percussive dance. This duo delivers a diverse, playful and hugely original performance.’
BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner Hannah James has been beguiling audiences for over fifteen years with her breath-taking performances in solo format as Jig Doll, as well as in numerous group projects such as vocal harmony trio Lady Maisery and the ‘Folk Super Group’ Coven. Marrying expressive accordion playing and beautiful vocal stylings with inventive foot percussion and clog dancing, she is regarded as one of the most innovative and entertaining performers on the UK folk scene. Her great spirit for creative exploration finds ever new outlets and has seen her in recent years rising to challenging project participations such as the Arts Council of England funded cultural diversity project ‘All Together Now’ commissioned by Shrewsbury Folk Festival, in which she was one of the lead artists.
Toby Kuhn is a trained classical musician with a Diplôme d’Etudes Musicales from the Conservatoire in Dijon and a double B.Mus. Degree in Performance and Music Theory from the McGill’s Schulich School of Music in Montreal. His fairly recent encounter with the vast world of folk music has provided a further platform for his love of experimentation and led him to collaborations with artists such as Daniel Wall, Sofia Högstadius and Matija Solce. He is performing all across Europe as part of Scottish singer and fiddler Kate Young’s string quintet and is also a member of the trio Wild Strings. He currently resides in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Hannah and Toby’s collaboration is still young, yet full of musical chemistry with an interplay that suggests a much more long-standing history of shared musical exploration. Join us at The Hermon for the return of the remarkable Hannah James in this new duo constellation – a rare and intimate concert well-worth your attention!
PLEASE NOTE: There will be an ‘Early Bird’ ticket offer for the first thirty tickets!
