This informal evening in the relaxed environment of the new Café at St James will comprise a showing of the Discovering Guernsey film, accompanied by a talk, which develops many of the themes and people featured in the film.

Part documentary, part promotional, the film showcases the island’s rich history, its people and its spectacular scenery. It has been widely praised by a cross section of visitors, tour guides and organisations involved in attracting residents and businesses to the island – as well as by many locals keen to learn more about their home.

The 30 minute film will be followed by a talk by Stephen Foote, Vice Chairman of The Guernsey Society and publisher of many books on Guernsey and its people under the Blue Ormer label. He will pick up on many of the themes featured in the film and add many more which are not widely known, even by locals. He will explore some of the ways in which Guernsey has made its mark on the world, through trade and commerce, exports and emigration and through the exploits of Guernsey men and women – both notable and notorious.

“The film is a whistle-stop tour through the history of Guernsey, featuring animation, old photographs, modern-day location shots and stunning drone footage, while a friendly, authoritative narrator links everything together concisely”. – The Guernsey Press

A fully stocked bar and warm snacks will be available throughout the evening, which will run until approx 8.30pm.

A Special Treat for all the family, featuring many of your favourite melodies that you love to hear again and again.
Packed full of tunes from well-known Musicals and Films, this is a concert that is guaranteed to send you home singing and dancing. (Even in the rain!)
Featured in the concert are melodies from the great works for the stage and cinema, including: West Side Story, Chicago, A Star Is Born, Mary Poppins Returns, Jesus Christ Superstar, La La Land and much, much more. A one-hour programme with something to please all ages, so get tickets early!

Charlie Sherbourne is celebrating the release of his debut single The Ballad Of William Bradshaw with a milestone show at St James. Charlie is a songwriter and producer that made a name for himself across the UK and Europe, recording and touring with The Slaughter House Band, and producing records for the likes of blues legend Joe Corbin and psychedelic rockers Of Empires. Now a COVID refugee in Guernsey, he has set about making a name for himself as a solo performer in his own right.

Backed by some of the finest musicians the island has to offer, The Man Feelings Band will bring his vision to light in an evening of genre-bending folk, blues and rock and roll.

Doors/Bar: 7pm

with support from Apothis, Granite Wolf and Bloomfield

After being blown away by the support shown at their last outing at St James, Watercolour Matchbox are excited to be returning to showcase new material with a bigger set up than ever before, with epic backing tracks, heavier riffs, more ambience and a lot of technical guitar solos. Watercolour Matchbox are made up of Peter Mitchell on guitar and vocals, Mikey Ferbrache on guitar, Scott Michel on bass, and Luke Corbin on drums. They will still be playing lots of favourites from their last album, ‘Pathways’, and will no doubt throw in a couple of metal covers for good measure.

“We enjoy playing at St James because we feel the large cathedral suits our dark, ambient, progressive vibe. If you enjoy closing your eyes and listening to the soothing sounds of an ambient, reverb heavy guitar, then this is the gig for you… as long as you’re prepared for a moshpit as well.”

Guernsey Symphony Orchestra presents Salieri Connections

La Scuola di Gelosi – Salieri
Piano Concerto no 19 – Mozart (Tom Hicks soloist)
Symphony no.5 – Schubert

Conductor – Jean Owen

The bitter rivalry between Mozart and Salieri is often documented, but lesser known, perhaps, is that Salieri was a mentor to Schubert and this programme brings together a trio of composers who capture the effervescence and spirit that dominated the classical era in music.
The Guernsey Symphony Orchestra are delighted that outstanding pianist, Tom Hicks, is able to join them for this classical spectacular. This programme has been designed to uplift the spirit as we enjoy the freedom of being together again.
