Our interactive storytelling night at The Beacon has been an absolute joy everytime we’ve done it.
Our next one is coming up on September 6th.

Each time we do this night out with a twist I see people arrive as strangers and leave as friends, it’s truly heartwarming.

If it’s a clear night we may end up storytelling round the fire again 🔥 🤗

Please make sure you book as we have to keep spaces limited for the experience to be at its best.

As my friend Kelly Thompson said...

"Bev, this is your Evita moment" 😂

I cannot wait to sing my song "Ode to the OB", commissioned by Hastings Commons, from the front balcony of the Observer Building to a FULL ON light show by the awesome Jonathan Richardson to celebrate the centenary of the OB and the astonishing restoration work that has been done to the building.

I'll be singing my heart out at 9pm on Thursday the 18th July, followed by a live set inside the building with @frankmoonmusic and @thorpeyman afterwards.

Oh yeah...and it'll be my birthday 🥳

Almost a month on and we're still buzzing from the performances of Ploughing The Salt Sea @@stablestheatre.

It's as much of a pleasure reading through your thoughts on the show as it is performing it! Maybe we should make it an annual event??

A BIG thank you to all throes involved. Especially @stagesnaps for the wonderful pictures.

After sell out shows at the Stables Theatre last y

After sell out shows at the Stables Theatre last year and a coastal tour, Bev is bringing Ploughing The Salt Sea back to its Hastings roots with some exciting new material as the show continues to evolve through further research and development.

Ploughing The Salt Sea is a solo autobiographical music theatre show, drawing on Bev Lee Harling’s recently discovered rich heritage of centuries old, fishing family roots in Hastings. The narrative, drawn from the suds of the Old Town Wash House, told through the eyes of the overlooked women, seeks to rewrite their stories back into our current consciousness through original and traditional folk song.

Bev shares precious memories, real and imagined which connect through the universal themes of secrecy, loss and finding your own voice.

She tells of a great uncle lost at sea; a dastardly grandfather running amok with the law; the decline in her own mother’s health; a great great grandmother, proprietor of several net huts down on Rock-a-Nore and knitter of their family gansey – a fishermen’s jumper, featuring their unique family motif, beautifully recreated for a new scene in the show by local knitter Helen Jones.

March 21st-22nd @stablestheatre Tickets available https://bit.ly/PTSS_StablesTheatre

Less thank one week to go until Ploughing The Salt Sea is back @stablestheatre stage and I'm so excited to be unpacking the full show experience again.

The incredible projections and set design from another wonderful local @simon_daw were made for this stage and you can enjoy them in their full glory next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Tickets available via link in bio.
