Mémoires d'un Amnésique: A piano, a film and Erik Satie, in his own words.
Tunbridge Wells pianist Alex Metcalfe performs Satie’s most important works, in character as the composer from the set of his Arceuil apartment. Sarah Miles’s script, edited from Satie’s own words, is narrated against the backdrop of Keith Lovegrove’s cinematic accompaniment.
"It is a fabulously well-crafted work of cinematic excellence as well as being a masterly piano recital – when all of that is put together the result is an installation piece that would probably sit very well in any modern art museum." The Greater Manchester Reviewer
Join us for drinks on the lawn at 8pm, weather permitting, followed by the open-air concert which starts at 8:30pm. The performance will be hosted in the private gardens of Finchcocks, framed by the west elevation of grade-1 listed manor house! A stage is being built in anticipation with on our much-loved Bosendorfer to be wheeled out to join guests on the lawn. The production will be narrated in French with English subtitles.
Please note the performance is rated 12+ due to some of Satie’s unavoidable and more colourful language!

UK Queen with Alexander Koronka was formed out of a love of re-producing Queen’s top hits with top musicians.
UK Queen seek to create a musical ‘experience’ and may be accompanied by classical quartets or top sopranos to deliver songs such as’ Barcelona’. Alexander’s desire is not just to faithfully reproduce Queen’s greatest hits, but to expand an audience’s musical journey by introducing more and more people to the truly magnificent and broad song book of Queen, accompanied by only the very best musicians.
Returning by popular demand for their second year The Low Down are a talented three piece covers rock and pop band based in Sussex. Their repertoire contains songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s, so there's a good mix of music to get you warmed up prior to the main event.
