SUMMARY:VISUALISE at 78
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Stitched Textiles \nThe Bassett-Lowke Rooms \n\n\nSat 8 Mar 2025 – Sun 25 May 2025 \n\n\n\nAn exhibition of Contemporary Stitched Art Textiles \nWe are delighted to be hosting this new exhibition of textiles and mixed media work which has been created by the Visualise textile group. Visualise was formed several years ago\, by like-minded artists who enjoy creating diverse work with stitch as the common thread. \nThe exhibition will also feature work by internationally known textile artist and Embroiderers Guild member Nigel Cheney who is the current mentor to Visualise. \nOn display is a diverse array of abstract\, realistic and figurative art using a wide variety of media: paper\, fabric (new\, distressed and recycled) and found objects which are hand and machine stitched\, or felted to create art inspired by both the natural world and the built environment. \nThe exhibition includes textile art inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and 78 Derngate itself\, with framed and small items for sale. \nCombining a look round the iconic Charles Rennie Mackintosh House before visiting the exhibition\, gardens and shop\, followed by partaking of some drink or food in The Dining Room is the perfect way to spend a glorious few hours in Northampton town. \nThere will be some ‘Meet the Artists’ days during the exhibition\, details as yet to be announced. \nThe members meet regularly in Welford\, Northamptonshire\, with the aim of promoting creativity through rigorous discipline\, underpinned by an interest in the history of textiles worldwide. \nOpening on Saturday 8th March until Sunday 25th May 2025\, closed Mondays\n10am- 4.30 pm – free admission to galleries\, shop and cafe. \nhttps://www.visualise.online/

SUMMARY:Mike + The Mechanics: Looking Back – The Living Years 2025 Tour
DESCRIPTION:Following 2023’s much lauded sell out Refuelled! Tour\, Mike + The Mechanics return for the Looking Back – Living The Years 2025 Tour. This tour will see them play their hits including Over My Shoulder\, The Living Years and All I Need Is A Miracle as well as drift into some of Genesis’s much loved classic tracks. \nMike Rutherford says “It’s exciting to announce that we will be touring The Mechanics again. Getting back on the road with the guys last year was a real pleasure. Even though it had been four years\, we slotted back into the old ways\, the old jokes and the camaraderie like it had been a day! We had so much fun on the last tour and the audiences were so gracious and warm\, when we played the final show in Dusseldorf we all agreed then that we wanted to do it all again. We can’t wait to see you.” \nOriginally formed in 1985 by Mike Rutherford “as a side project to Genesis”\, Mike + The Mechanics originally featured Paul Young and Paul Carrack as frontmen\, and together\, they achieved huge commercial success throughout the 80s and 90s achieving number ones all over the world and going on to sell over 10 million albums. After Paul Young’s sudden death in 2000 the band released one further album before deciding to call it a day. In 2011\, Mike started writing songs again and invited Roachford and Howar to join him and their chemistry was instant and they released The Road album and the band began touring again with huge success and have remained together since.
