‘Dogs are stupid - what science knows about dog intelligence’

Free Lecture by Britta Osthaus of Canterbury Christ Church University - 6.00pm
Dogs are employed as helpers and companions by humans and every dog owner can tell at least one anecdote about the cleverness of their pooch. In recent years psychology has focused on the scientific study of the cognitive abilities of dogs and also on dog-human interaction & communication.

Murder in the Pharaoh’s Tomb presented by The Company Upfront

7.00pm for 7.30pm
Set in 1902, become embroiled in a dastardly murder as you join the hunt for reputedly the largest

known as Khety, witness the events which lead up to and include the murder of one of the characters.
Cross-examine the surviving suspects, inspect the clues. Then report on who did it, how and the reasons why. Morse or Miss Marple could do it, can you?

Welte Organ Concert with D’Arcy Trinkwon Part of the Tunbridge Wells Music Festival

7.30pm
One of the leading international concert organists of his generation, D’Arcy has been rightly described in the press as “The Nureyev of organists”; his extraordinary pedal technique is famous and he has distinguished himself as one of the finest organists this country has produced. Acclaimed for his rare élan, virtuosity and
independent spirit, he will perform a typically varied, colourful and thrilling programme - including some works specifically to show off the remarkable Welte organ to its full glory.
Tickets £15.00. Friends of the Welte Organ £7.50

Saturday 5 June
Bill Posters Will Be Band

7.30pm
The members of Bill Posters are all experienced entertainers fired by the great British tradition of musical lunacy. This distinguished ensemble, which includes former members of The Bonzo Dog Band, The Bob Kerr Whoopee Band and The Temperance Seven, was formed in 1983 with the prime aim of having fun with music. Owing much to the exuberance of Spike Jones and the nostalgia of the 1930’s showbands, their performance majors on novelty numbers and musical mayhem. They play anything and everything, any style of music that can be sent up, parodied or even (yes on occasion) played seriously. There are classical overtures and ‘songs from the shows’ mixed with traditional jazz, rock ‘n’ roll and dance music. Throw in ‘Oh Play To Me Gypsy’ accompanied by Strohviol and violin, music hall favourites with audience participation and Russian melodies played on accordion and spoons and you’re beginning to get the idea.
Tickets £15.00. Concessions £13.00
Bookings 01892 663584 or email: gaye.jee@clara.co.uk

The Pantiles Players started presenting 4 performances of their summer open-air play at Salomons in 2007, the week after their annual run on The Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. Following 58 years of open-air theatre on The Pantiles, The Players are no longer able to perform on the bandstand due to the increasing extraneous noise. From 2010 The Players are transferring all their performances of the annual summer show to Salomons.
