A Supper Club with words & music for a celestial visitor

12 April 2019

Space will be the theme of the Supper Club with the moon of particular importance this spring. This will be reflected in the music played by Adam Hibberd and sung by Lizzie Perring. The moon holds a special surprise for us this season. Normally in any given astronomical season, there are three occurrences of a full moon. This spring there will be four such occurrences of a full moon, the third of which is known as a seasonal blue moon. Adam Hibberd is a musician and also an astronautical software engineer who developed some interplanetary mission design software used by ‘The Initiative for Interstellar Studies’, ‘Project Lyra’ team. Lizzie Perring is a singing teacher and performer. She enjoys collaborating and is currently involved in three groups performing all sorts of music, including medieval, Renaissance and Baroque. Adam and Lizzie have formed the group Between Us which performs popular and jazzy music interspersed with monologues and story telling. In addition there is an uninvited guest arriving at this Supper Club. A stranger from a strange land, a foreigner who didn’t pay for a seat but who you will take away with you – in spirit if not in physical form - and will leave a lasting impression on your psyche. He has an eldritch aspect and manner which bespeak of hitherto unknown mysteries and secrets. He can reveal to us insights about our universe so precious and momentous as to excel all the feats of scientific discoveries of mankind. However he is a fleeting interloper to our abode and is now quickly escaping through the door…we must now, while the iron is still hot, catch up and confront him and learn from him the secrets of his mission. All food served will be locally sourced, seasonal and vegan. The cafe team will release the menu in the next few weeks. Tables will be shared with mixed seating. Tickets £10pp and £7 for active members of Food Union and Time Union.

Adam Hibberd Many readers in-the-know will have heard of the future ESA ‘Comet Interceptor’ mission, due to launch in 2029. For those not-in-the-know it is a spacecraft desgined to loiter at the famous Sun/Earth Lagrange 2 (L2) point for a few years, waiting for a ‘pristine’ Oort Cloud comet to come flying in to the […]
