Sunday 31st July 2-4PM – Katy Carr performs with The Aviators at The Spur Battery Amphitheatre, Fort Amherst , #Chatham #Kent ME4 4UB Everyone is invited and this performance is part of the Summer Proms season … Free entry so see you there 🙂 Press release from the Summer Proms season – Fort Amherst, in conjunction with Medway Council is presenting a Summer Proms Season of FREE concerts in the amazing setting of the Spur Battery Amphitheatre on the heights above Chatham. Starting on Sunday 17th July the concerts will take place on Sunday afternoons through the summer months until Sunday 4th September. The Proms Concerts will start at 2pm and run for about two hours with a short break. An eclectic season of music is set to invoke memories of the park concerts of old. The season opens with the well-known local group Pretending People Theatre playing a mix of feel good singalong songs from the 50s right up to present day as well as some well-known folk and pub tunes. The season will continue with proms by the BAE Systems Brass Band, Anglo-Polish singer Katy Carr with her group The Aviators, the Kent Youth Jazz Orchestra, the 1940’s singing duo The Swingtime Sweethearts, and the Bettesteiner Footstompers Oompah Band. The season will be brought to an end on September 4 by local star Jamie Johnson and his band. The Fort Amherst Sunday Proms will be just the place to sit down with a picnic and 
a cold drink or two. Full details of the season will be found at www.fortamherst.com. The Spur Battery is the highest part of Fort Amherst and was used for siege warfare training, troop encampments and military punishments. It’s now an outdoor amphitheatre with seating for more than 200 visitors and was Chairman of the Fort Amherst Heritage Trust, Bill Fowler , said the reuniting of the upper and lower sections of the Barrier Ditch was an exciting phase in the ongoing restoration of Medway’s Napoleonic defences. He said: “Once again people will be able to pass over the bridges above the vast ditch as they enter the heart of the military and naval enclaves of Medway. “Command of the Heights has also seen the extensive and hitherto closed Spur Battery of Fort Amherst opened to the public, revealing more fascinating insights to the life of the Chatham garrison. ”One particularly intriguing element of the project has been the recreation of the Victorian military allotments next to Spur Battery on which soldiers at one time grew vegetables to supplement their meagre diet. These are now being cultivated by a mix of community groups and local residents.” The large heritage regeneration project secured £1.78 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and was supported by £400,000 from Medway Council.
Our beautiful freshly restored Napoleonic fortress venue – looking forward to seeing you tomorrow !

Message from the Polish Saturday School in Portsmouth about our concert : W ubiegłą niedzielę mieliśmy zaszczyt wziąć udział, zorganizowanym przez #307SquadronProject, wydarzeniu „The Polish D-Day Story”, opowiadającego historię Polaków biorących udział w lądowaniach w Normandii. Podczas oficjalnego otwarcia wystawy trójka naszych uczennic Bisia, Kaja i Karina, wspólnie ze wspaniałą #KatyCarr, zaśpiewały pieśń ‘Czerwone Maki pod Monte Casino’. Utwór został wybrany specjalnie dla obecnego podczas uroczystości pułkownika Ottona Hulackiego, który w tym roku skończył sto lat, a podczas drugiej wojny światowej brał udział w walkach pod Monte Casino. Dodatkowo instrumentalną wersję utworu na flecie wykonała Bisia wzbudzając zachwyt widowni. Wielkie brawa dla naszych odważnych i utalentowanych uczennic. Dziękujemy organizatorom i zapraszamy do obejrzenia zdjęć.

RIP KRZYSZTOF KUBANSKI
With deep sadness I announce the death of my Polish music booking agent Krzysztof Kubański.
Thanks to his belief in my music I could perform in Poland for so many years. I’m sending so much love and best wishes to his family at this very sad time – the music industry in Poland has lost a true and rare soul one who was open to so many different types of music including mine and was also the agent of Nigel Kennedy for many many years.
Life on the road in Poland will never be the same again – I’m sharing a video one that he took in his hometown Gmina Ząbkowice Śląskie – May the angels guide your soul safely on Keeping you in my prayers my dear, dear friend RIP
#WEREMEMBER THE WOLYN MASSACRE
July 3rd we remember the #wolynmassacre and the Polish people who were murdered at the hands of Ukrainian forces in #volhyniamassacre RIP – this genocide was the most horrific massacre of Polish men, women and children where over 200000 people were murdered and one of the darkest moments of Polish Ukrainian relations. #2022 has seen the Polish nation open their homes to 3 million Ukrainians in the desperate situation of war that has been inflicted on Ukraine by Russian aggression. How incredible is Poland for overcoming this brutal crime against humanity and rising above hatred to house their once enemies in their homes #forgiveness #polandisbeautiful #3million #homesforrefugees #westandwithukraine
