Prelude To A Kiss

THE History of the Big Bands is related in Woking for one night only, with the enigmatic Darius Campbell as both singer and producer.

Campbell, who shot to fame in the TV talent show Pop Idol and had a number one single with Colourblind, follows in the footsteps of great crooners such as Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra in his most challenging role yet.

The History of the Big Bands takes the audience on a musical journey through the big band and swing eras. Focusing on Frank Sinatra songs, this cleverly narrated show features the music of key names from those times, including Harry James, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Woody Herman and Buddy Rich.

The show promises to be an outstanding evening of high energy, virtuoso musicianship and wonderful songs.

THERE is a rare opportunity to see early prints from The Royal Photographic Society's collection, which dates from 1845 to 1940.
The exhibition contrasts the work of the society's pioneers with that of today's members, who use digital wizardry, cameras and computers to develop exciting images and art.

Consumer digital cameras and easy access to imaging software have led to greater awareness of the use of manipulation in everything from airbrushed models on magazine covers to celebrity and political set-ups.
Visitors will see from this exhibition that the debate about truth and illusion in photography is far over.
