The
Haffner Orchestra The Haffner Orchestra is an orchestra of a very high standard, which draws its players from Lancaster and the surrounding area. It is established as one of Lancaster’s cultural assets.
Three concerts are given each season, usually in late November, late
February and mid-June. Extra events like masterclasses and workshops
are also organised, and there is a calendar of social events. A reception
is held after the summer concert. We have a number of fundraising events
during the year, usually including a garden party in May.
The orchestra is run by a committee. Members are elected annually from
the orchestra and interested supporters. The Orchestra is a member of
"Making Music", and is a registered charity, no. 509571.

tunes and songs from the UK, the USA and Europe.
He Said / She Said A new indie rock band from the small town of Lancaster.
After being raised by wolves in the wild it is believed that Julian
Goldie spent years perfecting his guitar abilities with Shaolin monks in
Tibet. Meanwhile Rowan Cooper-Davies was escaping from a high security
prison in nearby Mongolia. Upon escaping he ran to the Shaolin temple
claiming sanctuary from the Mongolian secret police. Here he met Goldie who
was impressed by his 'mad flow'. With the help of the monks' supreme kung-fu
skills, Julian's shredding abilities, and Rowan's beats 'n' rhymes they were
able to defeat the entire Mongolian police force, eventually conquering the
Mongolian state, where they met Lee Reeves, a poor street kid who had
salvaged a battered four-string. Ever since, the trio have been overturning
corrupt governments with their catchy tunes and dazzling abilities.

offbeat@globalnet.co.uk Tel: 01524 35193. Sam Dale - guitar, vocals, Steve Lewis - guitar, vocals, percussion,
Ben McCabe - drums, vocals, French horn, thumb piano, Louis Davy - double
bass. “Inventive, knee-trembling and funky”. Imagine, if
you will, the likes of Bjork, Ali Farka Toure, Scott Walker, Cowboy
Junkies, Jimmy Guiffre and Frank Zappa stuck together overnight in a
lift. The somewhat gooey and ludicrously fertile mess you'd find sticking
to the floor when the doors finally opened next morning is the stuff
that Irregardless are made of. The maverick-homeboy Steve Lewis, the
pincer-precise Sam Dale, the bushelhidden Ben McCabe and the down tempo
tyro Louis Davy perform a loosely collected set of tightly arranged
songs with lyrics by the likes of Rumi. T S Elliott, Carl Jung, Ludwig
Wittgenstein and a bottle of bleach.

album from joe 80 "Welcome to the point of no return".
It contains ten cracking tracks recorded at Stonegate Studios, Bentham

of the Lomics Music Group 2003."

quartet was
never going to be ordinary. Here is a modern jazz
quartet with a twist - performing originals and material by,

skank, or as tearaway swing. Always tuneful and positive! Featuring
Jon Moore (guitar), Jason Walsh (keyboards), Laurence Canty (bass),
and Andy Smith (drums).

You can just turn up and see if it suits you, or else ring Mike in advance on (01524) 61213 or email him at m.wright@lancaster.ac.uk
There are no auditions, but enthusiasm and a sense of humour are essential. Our current repertoire concerns such hot topics as children's rights, pregnancy, bullying, amnesia, Dr Who and the Lone Ranger, though we do allow ourselves every now and then to sing something a bit older and better known (e.g. the Kinks, Hoagy Carmichael, Randy Newman, Handel, …). We perform for the public about five times a year; recent gigs have included the Sage Theatre (Gateshead), halfway up Ingleborough, various streets and church halls and of course the good old Gregson itself. Proceeds (when we get any) normally go to a charity in Madagascar.

singers.
Lancaster
Singers Over the last 30 years Lancaster Singers has grown
to a 50-strong mixed-voice chamber choir. All of us have had a short,
informal audition, and although some musical literacy is expected, we
believe the variety of our musical backgrounds adds to the diversity
and flexibility of the group. What unites us all is a love of music
and performance, and the pursuit of musical excellence.
We perform works from the Renaissance to present day, including new
commissions. Over the years we have included most of the great choral
masterpieces. We perform as an a capella group through to large scale
works with orchestra. We normally give 5 concerts year which are held
in a variety of venues ranging from large concert halls, where we perform
with professional orchestras and soloists, to tiny village churches.
If you are interested in joining us, there are limited vacancies for
new members. Please contact the Secretary, Stella Birchall on 015242

Pete
Lashley Pete's thought provoking lyrics, soaring vocals,
and intricate rhythmical guitar playing have been described by BBC 6
Music as 'Excellent'. The Westmorland Gazette and Lancaster Visitor
both described 2 of Pete's recent albums as 'passionate' and 'hugely
impressive' with variety and melody being their strength. Pete crafted
his trade of performing with guitar in hand on the streets of cities
and towns in New Zealand and Australia. This gave him the self belief
to push on and to immerse himself in creating and performing as a full-time
professional musician. Pete has released 4 albums, Pete Lashley (2002),
Southern Upland (2002), Gravel (2003), Slate (2004). He is on the verge
of releasing his 5th album 'Air Of The Gods' and will be playing songs
from this album, amongst others at Spotlight. If you want to find out
more about Pete and have a listen to some of his music you can go on

'Richard Thompson and Neil Young, with a dash of Pete Thownsend thrown
in'. They didn't mention what they thought Pete Townsend was being thrown
