Top 40 Singer to play in Lyme Regis:
Benjamin Francis Leftwich
is an exceptionally creative English singer-songwriter who has recently
released his fourth album - To Carry a Whale. It has been deemed the most
significant since his 2012 debut. The album was produced by Sam Duckworth
(Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) with Eg White (Adele, Florence & The Machine,
Sam Smith). He will be playing at the Marine in Lyme Regis on Saturday 5th
February 2022. Leftwich’s music has previously drawn comparisons
with contemporaries such as Damien Rice and Jose Gonzalez. He started
singing and playing guitar at age 10, and cites The Rolling Stones, Bon
Dylan, Nina Simone, and Bruce Springsteen as inspirations.
The title of his latest album alludes to his former addiction to alcohol; he
became sober after a spell in rehab in 2018. It is an intensely personal
album, as Leftwich explains: ‘I wanted it to be called To Carry a Whale, which
is about living with something heavy which is also beautiful, and it really
enabled us to be very focused within the creative process and even in the
visual aesthetic process with the label after we’d signed off on the masters.
I know what every song is about, this my story, I want to tell it so maybe it
will help someone else. It’s helped my songwriting in a way I’m less fearful,
I’m not as scared of singing ‘I love you’ if I need to.’
Tickets cost £14 in advance and the show starts at 8:00 P.M.

 Company Gavin Robertson - Done to
Death, By Jove!
The British Detective Genre – gone wrong!
Holmes and Watson meet Poirot and Miss Marple (alongside the usual
suspects) in a spoof homage - who murdered Lady Fanshawe? Why is Matron
Maudesly so friendly with one of the guests at the Clinic of Hopes and
Cures? Why have the sound cues got mixed up?
A
cast of six set about bringing a group of suspects and sleuths together
to discover whodunnit, and how… except four of the actors are stuck in
the van by the side of the motorway, and only those two knights of the
Theatre, Sir Gavin and Sir Nicholas, have managed to get to the venue;
but ‘the show must go on’!
Expect a whirlwind of fast costume changes and
misdirected acting hiccups in a show where even the set’s gone missing!

Paintings by Dianne Mary Alice
19 January until 6 March
the Rotunda Gallery, Lyme Regis Museum
Dianne Mary Alice is a professional artist who came to be living
by the sea in Dorset via West London and the French canals. She
started taking art classes after retiring from a career in fashion,
textiles and garden design. An Artist’s Journey is her first
solo exhibition, and it runs from 19 January until 6 March at the
Rotunda Gallery, Lyme Regis Museum.
Dianne's impressionistic and spontaneous
approach captures images and forms from the natural world
experimenting with all mediums, usually using a palette knife and
just a few colours. Her inspiration comes from big skies,
landscapes, plants, flowers and the sea. Sketches and line drawings
are done plein air when possible, often moving on to underpainting
in acrylic and ending with oil. She started exhibiting three years
ago with Dorset Arts Weeks and belongs to Lyme Bay Arts, Artwey and
Casterbridge Art societies.
For further information about opening days and
times, please visit www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk.

Don't get cut off by the tide
Nick Marks, Lifeboat Operations Manager
said “We would encourage any visitor to the area to check tide times
before walking along the beach near Lyme Regis or Charmouth. The local
area experiences very high tides at times, so it is very important to check.”
 If
you see anyone in trouble in the sea, call 999 and ask for the
coastguard.
