Katie Melua on tour with Gori Women’s Choir G Live, Guildford
Wednesday 23 November

Katie Melua will appear at G Live for one night only as part of her special winter concert series accompanied by the 25-piece Gori Women’s Choir. The tour coincides with the release of Katie’s new album ‘In Winter’ which
was recorded in the singer’s home country of Georgia and extensively features the Choir, pictured right with Katie in the foreground.

Award-winning singer, songwriter and guitarist Katie, since releasing her debut album Call Off the Search in 2003, has released six studio albums and is perhaps best known for singles ‘The Closest Thing to Crazy’ and
‘Nine Million Bicycles’. Gori Women’s Choir comprises singers who are masters of the ancient Georgian tradition of polyphonic singing, described as a ‘vocal orchestra’. Together, the Choir and Katie will perform material
from ‘In Winter’, along with classic songs from the singer’s extensive repertoire. A night not to be missed.

Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink
Friday 25 November to Sunday 8 January 2017

Ice skating returns to Hampton Court Palace for what is now a winter tradition. Take a turn on this spectacular ice rink offering splendid views of the red brick Tudor front of King Henry VIII’s beautiful palace. Why not book an evening session on the rink and see the Palace lit up after dark whilst skating under the stars with friends and family? Alternatively, make a day of it: explore the Palace apartments and galleries, visit the Haunted Gallery, enjoy seasonal food, afternoon tea and The Dip-Dunk Lodge, and skate at a time which suits. We recommend booking early for this festive treat: off peak and peak tickets are available with special rates for families, students, pensioners and groups. Early bird discounts are also available with a first skate at 11am and last skate at 9pm.
And don’t forget, spectators can access viewing areas for free. To coin a phrase, get your skates on!
