Brooklands in Surrey, the birthplace of British motor racing and aviation, is to get a multi-million pound Heritage Lottery Fund grant to help restore it to its former glory.

The money will help bring part of its famous track back to life and rebuild its main hangar, which houses historic aeroplanes including Wellington bombers, Sopwiths and Hurricanes.

Publication of the latest edition of the Brooklands Bulletin Magazine, designed by Nick Findell at The Graphic Agenda, was held back to include this very important announcement of the Heritage Lottery funding.

The Graphic Agenda is creating a campaign to increase the membership of the Friends of Bookham Commons.
   Bookham Commons are owned by the National Trust and have a varied landscape, from ancient oak woods to grassland plains and tranquil ponds, support an abundance of wildlife, which can be heard and seen throughout the seasons.
   Listen out for tuneful nightingales and warblers in the spring, and in summer look for insects hovering over the ponds. If you're lucky, you may also spot the beautiful, but elusive, Purple Emperor butterfly.
   Bookham Commons is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The Graphic Agenda has designed a recently launched website to promote an exciting project to create a community shop at Grampound between St Austell and Truro in Cornwall.
   When the people of Grampound learnt that Hollies Store and Post Office was closing in June 2013, due to retirement, a village meeting of local people expressed a need for, and desire to establish, a community shop.
  As a first step a Share Offer is being made available to local residents and friends of Grampound from 2nd Dec 2013 to 28th Feb 2014 to encourage true community ownership and commitment in an exciting and fulfilling venture which will be a great legacy for the village.

The Graphic Agenda design Programme for ‘Brother Jacques’ – the musical!

4/2/2013

A thrilling, moving musical, based on true events here in Crediton at the turn of the 19th Century.
    Brother Jacques is a tale of fate, adventure and discovery. The story starts in Paris, 1789, and follows the path of two brothers, torn apart by the French Revolution. They're swept along in a whirlwind of events at sea, on the rat-infested hulk ships in Plymouth and find themselves landed in the farming community of Crediton. With pretty Kirton girls, scrumpy cider and the hope of freedom, these brothers experience a Devon life they'd never expected to encounter, but always with the distant ring of the bells of Notre Dame in their ears. Will freedom ever be theirs? Will the realisation of their true identities be freedom enough?
   Based on true events, Brother Jacques is an exciting project for CODS. The musical is partly-based in Crediton and tells the story of locals interacting with the Frenchmen captured during the Revolution and brought to Devon as prisoners of war. Children play a pivotal role in the musical, adding an extra dimension to the company - the townsfolk of ol' Kirton would not be complete without them. We are really excited at the prospect of welcoming a Children's Chorus back to CODS after last performing with them in Oliver! in 2010.
   First produced of Plymouth Theatre Royal's Drum Theatre in 1990, Brother Jacques went on to win two Barclays Music Theatre Awards including 'Best New Musical'.

Designing for music in the extreme!!

2 recent projects undertaken by The Graphic Agenda have been at either end of the music spectrum.

Picture

The first project was to produce a CD package for MMD (Musica Donum Dei) it is a professional baroque ensemble which specialises in playing in authentic style on period instruments. The ensemble plays mainly music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries on instruments of the time. On the disc called ‘A Merry Wassail’ Music from Christmas Past, MMD present short sequences of true Christmas carols, songs and other pieces typical of the festive season,  many of which we have arranged for our own resources, or to which they have added descants and counter-melodies as was common practice.
The second project could not be more different. It is the design of a psychedelic sleeve for a 7” limited edition vinyl EP featuring music of the 60’s. The Smart Set Radio show hosted by Marrs Bonfire on Bay FM is behind the disc. The show is a mixture of Garage, Psych, and Beat music from the 60s to the present day. Marrs approached regular listeners and professional musicians Icarus Peel, Mordecai Smyth, and Crystal Jacqueline to help form The Green Question Mark and perform on the record. The record is called Pegasus after the title track by Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks & Graham Nash, other tracks include She’s a Rainbow by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and Lucy Leave by Syd Barrett and Roger Waters.
It's far out man!

A love story with a twist...a bitter twist

Picture
Picture
The musical is all about Helena Rubinstein. Out of nowhere she became a household name. Beauty was her business and as the first woman ever to build a global industry she really did have a tale to tell.

'Powder & Paint' is definitely not a biography.
Perhaps it can best be described as a character study wrapped up in romance and mystery. Some liberties have been taken to emphasize the drama and to highlight the challenges which, even today, confront a go-getting woman in a male dominated world. Without doubt 'Madame' Rubinstein met her fair share of fear, loneliness and heartbreak on her rocky road to success.

The story behind Powder & Paint is based on a collection of 2000 letters from 1914 – 1928 between Helena Rubinstein and her London manageress Rosa Bird. They give an extraordinary and very personal insight into a woman who changed the face of women the world over.

Thanks go to Hedgerow Print of Crediton for printing the programme which was art directed and designed by Nick Findell at The Graphic Agenda.
