An Unexpected Treasure -
Tales from the oldest senior school in Sutton Thursday 26 September 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Sutton High School was founded in 1884 by the Girls’ Day School Company, whose purpose was to provide a ‘public school’, liberal education for middle-class girls. The school is fortunate enough to possess a substantial archive which includes magazines, log-books, various artefacts and a wealth of photographs. The archive reveals the school to be a microcosm of national events such as the two World Wars and the development of women’s rights. It gives us a unique, sometimes poignant and occasionally humorous insight into Sutton’s past as will be revealed by Sue James. Tickets are £5 (£4 Friends) - FREE tea and coffee from 19:00 Please phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |

Jazz Roots Revisited
Thursday 24 October at 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event To celebrate Black History Month the Friends of Honeywood Museum bring you an evening of jazz originally played by the Greats to illustrate the huge contribution that Black musicians made to the jazz era. Enrico Tomasso enjoys a well-earned international reputation, including best trumpet category winner in the 2018 British Jazz Awards. Age seven he met and played for Louis Armstrong, resulting in a life-long friendship. ‘It is a mark of true distinction when a jazz trumpeter plays with such fluency and apparent ease that you listen to the music and not the technique’ (Dave Gelly, The Observer). Alongside Enrico is very skilled and knowledgeable pianist Hugh Crozier. ‘Nothing could ever muddy up the pianist’s vibrant solos’. (Jazz Review). Tickets £10 (Friends £8) include a glass of wine and nibbles. Please ‘phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |
