| | 21 June - Derek Acorah - The Eternal Spirits Tour
Shanklin Theatre -  A new tour for 2013 starring one of the most respected Spiritualist Mediums of a generation.
Given the very nature of this controversial subject it is of course important to be insightful and
accurate as well as to be able to communicate.
However to fill theatres across the land requires not just these talents but also the ability to entertain. It
requires a sensitive delivery and a warmth so often absent.
Derek Acorah has all of this and more.
Described by The Guardian newspaper as THE MODEL OF THE MODERN MEDIUM, Derek’s sincere and
friendly approach marks him out as someone very special as he continues to bring help and support to so many.
If you only see one event of it’s kind this year. Make sure it is
Derek Acorah in The Eternal Spirits Tour.

| | 19 July - Northwood House with Vectis Hauntings
Northwood House - Do you dare to walk the corridors of Northwood House with Vectis Hauntings! Join us for a paranormal experience at Northwood House on 19 th July 2013. The event will take place between 8pm and 2am. We will provide light refreshments at the event and feel free to bring along your cameras. All we ask is if you feel that you have captured anything paranormal on your camera please forward a copy to Vectis Hauntings. The cost of the event is £35 per person.
Northwood House and its park previously formed part of what used to be the Mount Edgcumbe estate. In 1793, Mount Edgcumbe estate which comprised of a house name Belle Vue, two coach houses, four stables and four gardens which were purchased by George Ward who was the son of a retired city merchant and a director of the new East India Docks. He renamed the estate Northwood Park. William Arnold a collector of customs for Cowes knew George in London and had told him about the sale of the Mount Edgcombe estate. Having bought the estate George also began buying up land in Cowes and surrounding areas and this estate subsequently passed down through his family.
Northwood House was at the centre of late victorian high society and in 1871 a Grand Bazaar & Promenade Concert was held the proceeds were to go to the National Hospital for consumption in Ventnor (now the Botanical Gardens). Royal Yacht Squadran Balls were also held there in the 1880's. George Ward died in 1882.
In the early 1900's the house was turned into a nunnery for a short time. In the First World War it was a VAD hospital for convalescing soldiers.
In September 1929 HRH Princess Beatrice Royal Governor of the Isle of Wight and youngest daugther of Queen Victoria accepted from Captain Herbert Ward the deeds of Northwood House and grounds to the town of Cowes. Cowes Urban District Council and Northwood House charity was born and for many years the house was held in trust by the council. The council changed its name to Medina Borough Council to Isle of Wight County Council and more recently Isle of Wight Council and various of the council departments occupied Northwood House. The Deed stated that Northwood House was to be maintained for use as council offices, house of caretaker and let rooms for meetings, concerts and other entertainments. Northwood Park was left to the people of Cowes for recreation and pleasure.
In 2002 a new charitable scheme was drawn to involve local people as Management Trustees leaving Isle of Wight Council as custodian trustee however in 2010 the council withdrew from both custodianship and involvement to manage the estate. Since this time the management trustees have been in sole charge of both the house and park.

Rock Legend Ginger Baker joins the Rhythmtree Felabration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rhythmtree Festival organisers are pleased to announce that the legendary drummer Ginger Baker has just agreed to join the main stage line-up in July. He will be performing with his newly formed quartet, the Jazz Confusion, and also guest with Dele Sosimi’s Afrobeat Orchestra for the Rhythmtree tribute to the music of Fela Kuti on Sunday 21st July.
Ginger is best known as ‘Rock's first superstar drummer’ and creator of the 60’s supergroup Cream with Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton. What is less well known is that he has had a lifetime involvement with African music. He lived in Nigeria from 1970 till 1976 and in 1971 recorded the album ‘Fela with Ginger Baker Live!’, which has recently been included in a list of the Best 40 Live Albums.
Festival organiser Gerry Priddle told us, “When we first made enquiries about the booking we were expecting to just get the Jazz Confusion on the bill. When Ginger’s management informed him of our approach, and he looked at the Rhythmtree Sunday line-up, there was an immediate request that he also join the Fela tribute.
"I met Fela in the early 60s when he used to sit in at the all-nighters at the Flamingo. We became good friends. When I arrived in Nigeria in 1970 I met Fela again - this led to many musical adventures. Fela was a fantastic fellow, a great friend, I loved his music”. (Ginger Baker)
This booking will make the Rhythmtree Felabration a unique event in the UK festival calendar and something not to be missed for any afrobeat and world music fan.”
The Sunday line-up will now be..
Dele Sosimi’s Afrobeat Orchestra with guest drummers Ginger Baker and Abass Dodoo; Dutch afrobeat sensation Jungle by Night; The Ginger Baker Jazz Confusion featuring James Brown’s legendary horn section member Pee Wee Ellis; London Afrobeat Collective; Nahini Doumbia’s Malian drum orchestra Sankoulekan; Zimbabwean Zee Guveya’s Heritage Survival Band and the Isle of Wight’s own Fellowship of Groove.
The Rhythmtree is also pleased to announce that it has been granted a three year license for it’s Three Gates Farm site at Calbourne. “ We have always wanted to keep the Rhythmtree on the rural side of the island but at the same time we have always been aware of concerns for the local environment. After four very successful events we think we can now show that there can be a good balance between the demands of a well run festival and a rural tranquil location. With this stability we can also really enhance the festival’s reputation as a stress free all age attraction with its carefully chosen high quality food concessions, local market traders, healing areas, children’s entertainment and of course three days of outstanding music .”
