This retrospective exhibition celebrates the artwork of jazz musician Joe Spibey, who lived in Widcombe for many years. Locals may remember his Sunday evenings at the Ring O' Bells and his performances at Widcombe Rising.
Encouraged by a school teacher, he attended The Ealing School of Art school where his passions for art, jazz and cinema developed.
This retrospective collection showcases 20 pieces including life drawings, sketches and etchings. The collection documents his ongoing interest in art together with sketches and large works from art school.

THE JAZZ LOFT
According to W. Eugene Smith
Sara Fishko, USA, 2015, 87m
In 1957 the celebrated war photographer and Newsweek/Life photo-essayist W. Eugene Smith left his wife, four children and career behind, taking up residence in a clapped-out five storey block on Sixth Avenue, New York. He immediately set to wiring the entire building for sound and taking tens of thousands of photographs, exhaustively documenting the activities of the collection of artists and jazz musicians for whom the building was an after-hours hang-out and performance space.
The resulting vast archive gives insight into a unique late ‘50s / early ’60 NY creative hub and fascinating birds-eye shots of the buzzing ‘Flower District’ street life. Distilled from this archive, Sara Fishko’s documentary gives a glimpse of this endlessly energetic and troubled talent and the creative maelstrom that whirled around him for eight extraordinary years in a crumbling Manhattan loft.
Tickets: £9/£7 WSC members

LES PARAPLUIES DE CHERBOURG (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg)
Jacques Demy, France, 1964, 91m, PG, sub-titles
The rainy northern port of Cherbourg is transformed into a candy-coloured manifestation of first love in this exhilarating Cannes Palme d’Or-winning treat, which made a star of 19-yr-old Catharine Deneuve and in which every word of dialogue is set to music by Michel Legrand. Guy, a car mechanic, is boundlessly in love with Geneviève, daughter of umbrella shop owner Madame Emery. While the young lovers profess their endless devotion and plan to marry, Madame disapproves because Guy has not yet been ‘matured’ by military duty. When his call-up for service in the Algerian War arrives, their bond is threatened – “Don’t leave me!” she imploringly sings, but leave he must. Meanwhile, rich gem dealer Roland has an eye on Geneviève.
The euphoric, sentimental veneer which characterises first love does nothing to conceal much darker realities in Demy’s unforgettable masterpiece. Some might see the film as a tragedy, but it’s so much more than that, and the bittersweet ending is as moving as the exuberance is dizzying. This unique film will look and sound stupendous on our big screen – why not indulge in a dose of unashamed romanticism as the nights draw in?
