Friday 27 & Saturday 28 October 7.30pm A new one-act play by Dario Knight. Professor Arkwright has spent his life exploring the many ways in which people can be fooled. As retirement beckons, he summons three former students to his office to share in a toast to his long career. But what has each student done with their education in the ethics of deception? The conjurer, the mentalist, and the psychic. Who are they fooling? And why is Arkwright so keen to unite them before his career reaches its end?

From the age of 9, John Otway knew he wanted to be a pop star. But even at that young age, having listened to his sister's Beatles and Stones records, he knew he would never be able to do what they do. However, when his sister got the latest Bob Dylan album, he knew there was a place for him and he set about learning how to play guitar. Otway had to wait until 1977 and the rise of punk before his dream of fame and fortune would finally become a reality. Having caught the eye of the producers of the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test, Otway's performance on that show would grab the attention of the watching audience. Otway, ever the showman, decided to jump on to the amplifier of his colleague during a performance of Bob Lind's Cheryl's Going Home. (Un)fortunately for Otway, he misjudged his leap and sent Wild Willy Barrett’s amplifier tumbling as he crashed down straddling the box under the amp. The full force of the impact was absorbed by the most tender part of his body, but in doing this one simple act of recklessness and his wanton disregard for his own safety, Otway was the talk of everyone who watched that evening's programme. Not only did he see a surge in his audiences, sales of Otway's sixth single, the halfspoken love song Really Free increased dramatically and reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart. An appearance on the BBC's flagship music programme Top of the Pops, where Otway & Barrett were introduced by Elton John later, Otway was finally a star. It would however, be his greatest success for some time. Despite numerous attempts to get back into the charts, Otway would have to wait 25 years for his next taste of chart success. In the intervening years, Otway would become an actor; write an autobiography (Cor Baby That’s Really Me: Rock and Roll’s Greatest Failure); perform sold out shows at London’s Astoria and Royal Albert Hall; make regular appearances at both Glastonbury and Edinburgh Festivals; and write the nation’s seventh favourite lyric of all-time (beating Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in the process). In 2002, Otway achieved what he desired the most – a second hit. A concerted publicity campaign saw Otway reach number 9 with the disco pastiche Bunsen Burner and a second appearance on Top of the Pops. Despite this success, a planned world tour collapsed, but Otway continued to gig extensively around the UK either with his band, as a duo with Wild Willy Barrett or solo. A follow-up autobiography was penned in 2010 and titled: I Did It Otway: Regrets I’ve Had a Few. To celebrate his 60th birthday in 2012, Otway produced his debut movie titled Otway the Movie: The Story of Rock n Roll’s Greatest Failure. A screening for producers was held at London’s Leicester Square with the final scenes from the movie filmed on the red carpet and edited into the film as the audience were watching. The film was then taken to Cannes Film Festival and a 50-date tour of cinemas in both the UK and North America. It was subsequently voted the 2nd best film of the year in a poll of its readers conducted by The Guardian newspaper. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Otway took his band to the Caribbean island of Montserrat to record a new album. The album would be the first to be recorded on the island by an international artist since The Rolling Stones recorded Steel Wheels in 1989. Produced by Grammy-award winner Chris Birkett and recorded at Olveston House – the former home of Sir George Martin, it was released to critical acclaim in May 2017.

John Young is the front man for Lifesigns, a band fast establishing itself as one of the current leaders in new progressive rock, pop and jazz fusion. John’s solo show is a mixture of music and stories through the years from when he first started touring the world with Uli Jon Roth’s Electric Sun back in 1985 through to 2023 with Lifesigns. Over the years he has worked with: Asia, John Wetton, The Scorpions, Bonnie Tyler, Paul Rodgers and the Law, Roy Wood, Fish, Electric Sun, Mammoth, The Strawbs, Greenslade and Lucio Battisti to name but a few, as well as guesting with Ringo & George, Robert Plant & Jimmy Page and many more. John has won both the PROG Magazine Keyboard player of the year for 2021 and the last Classic Rock Society keyboard player of the year award in 2017. Lifesigns also featured heavily in critics' top 10s for their recent album Altitude and were voted by many as the best band on Cruise to the Edge in 2022. When you think that other acts included Marillion, the Alan Parsons Project, Simon Phillips, Transatlantic and the Frank Zappa Band… that’s quite an honour. Music will range from John’s solo career through to the music of Lifesigns. Listen on YouTube and on Lifesigns website

Friday 20 October 7.30pm Join Prestwood Players for this special interactive murder mystery evening, complete with fish & chips! ‘Death at the Tenth’ by Archie Wilson Herbert Gloom, once club professional but now green keeper at the Primrose Hill Golf Club, has harboured a grudge against the entire club committee ever since a new young golfing professional was hired to take his place. He quietly collects evidence of fraud, secret liaisons (he even has photographs to prove it!) and other nefarious doings ready to present when he feels the moment is ripe. The annual Club Dinner is the perfect opportunity. During the evening he goes out of his way to be obnoxious to both committee and guests ending with a tirade against everyone present. He is hustled out by the flustered Major Winstanton-Bromley and Damien Francis – who recently replaced Gloom as club professional. But all is not what it seems! Ticket price includes fish & chips!

Today, live shows draw on an incredible repertoire of over a hundred songs, including both hits and rarely heard album tracks, that have also made the band popular guests on BBC. “A must-see band for all Beatles fans”.
