Mark Walker

Back by very popular demand, an uproarious 'have-a-go' drum and percussion show.

Lots of noise so don't forget your ear-plugs!!

 

Mark Walker is one of the UK's premier drummers, whose CV includes the West End Production of the Lion King, appearing in the box at the side of the stage, and house band drummer for the Jack Dee show.

As percussionist with Rolf Harris for over ten years, he has accompanied him around the world and performed at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, the Festival Hall and Royal Philharmonic Hall Liverpool, not to mention three times at Glastonbury in front of crowds as large as 80,000. Mark is also author of the 70th birthday tribute book ‘The Court of King Rolf’ published by Transworld.

He has written two well respected drum tutorials and as a journalist for Rhythm, the UK's leading drum magazine, has contributed hundreds of articles and has interviewed many of the world's most famous drummers, including Coldplay's Will
Champion and the legendary Steve Gadd.

 

Over the last ten years Mark has become established as one of the UK's most prominent drum show artists, performing on GMTV, BBC1 and CBBC, and at multi-cultural festivals around the UK including regularly at the Rhythmsticks Festival on the Southbank, Europe's largest annual drum festival.

Theatre of Widdershins:

The Elves and the Shoemaker

 

 

This excellent Puppet Theatre Company returns to Barnes by popular demand with their wonderful presentation of 'The Elves and the Shoemaker'.

This well-known and well-loved tale, made popular by the Ladybird classic, has been re-heeled in Widdershins' own inimitable style. A beautifully crafted set and puppets, sublime music, a kaleidoscope of miniature shoes (and a comic mouse), all make this a magical must-see!!

The Theatre of Widdershins has been bringing highly visual and innovative puppetry to theatres, schools and community halls for over 16 years.

They have performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival since 2005 to much critical acclaim.
