The Friends of St Andrew’s are delighted to bring you Musical Squares, a ‘fun extravaganza’ which explores, in an entertaining way, many aspects of sound and hearing in the human and animal kingdoms.
Topics covered include: the effects of sound on people, sound production, sound waves, acoustical illusions, musical instruments and how they work, recognition of sounds, ‘lie-detection’ tests for deafness – and many other topics.
The presentation – which provides education through entertainment – is lavishly illustrated throughout with visual demonstrations, sound effects and on-the-spot experiments – some of which involve audience participation!
It is suitable for all ages and requires no previous knowledge of the subject whatsoever.
In 2004, Mike & Wendy were awarded the “Kelvin Medal and Prize” by the Institute of Physics – for their contribution to the Public Understanding of Physics over many years of lecturing together.
Musical Squares was recently presented at the Cheltenham Music Festival Society, to great reviews.

The Friends of St Andrew’s present an illustrated talk by Alan Endicott on 9th May at 7.30 in St Andrew’s Church:
Alan Endacott was brought up on Dartmoor and has spent his life exploring and trying to make sense of its world-famous prehistoric landscapes, especially the Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial or ritual monuments. In 2007, following up a hunch, he discovered a long-buried and forgotten stone circle on an exposed ridge near Sittaford Tor.
His illustrated talk explains his theories regarding the layout of ritual landscapes on northern Dartmoor and the context of the discovery of the Sittaford circle, with personal accounts and some of the insights he has gleaned into the beliefs and rituals of those who built it some 4000 years ago…
 The Gesualdo Six– singing beautiful unaccompanied choral music from the renaissance to the present day. If you were lucky enough to have been listening to In Tune on BBC Radio 3 on 19th March, you would have heard a feature on Gesualdo Six’s forthcoming UK Spring tour (here is a link to the BBC programme; the feature starts 13 minutes in).
