Colin was the grandfather of Louise Beech. 64 years after his ordeal Louise’s daughter, Katy, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. In order to distract her during insulin injections Louise began to tell the story of Colin’s bravery and determination to survive.
The story inspiring Katy to be brave in the face of her diabetes is a true one. She has said that Grandad Colin’s experience made her determined to carry on when she wanted to give up and die: If Grandad Colin can survive an ordeal like that, I can do anything. I can do these injections. And she has never faltered.

"Three separate approaches to relief printing but a shared love of handmade printing, lino cutting and wood cut. The mark or the garage or the dot of the drill is the indication that a human has been involved with the creation and mark making of this image. In some cases it is collaborative effort in mixing up the drawing and the mark making technique of two individuals. It is definitely not digital imagery however, this is what we prefer"

We are so excited to welcome Iago Banet to HAC - Fri 20 Sep, 7.30pm! If you haven't yet witnessed the 'Galician King of Acoustic Guitar' - now's your chance!
https://helmsleyarts.co.uk/whats-on/iago-banet-the-galician-king-of-acoustic-guitar
Described as ‘a master of the guitar’ by Sean Rafferty, BBC Radio 3 In Tune; as 'nothing short of phenomenal' in a recent review, and as a ‘highly recommended artist’ by Celtic Connections, Iago creates stories without words, enthralling audiences as he does so.
Iago Banet, ‘The Galician King of Acoustic Guitar’ launched his third album, TRES, in 2023, with a tour which has included multiple sell-out shows and sensational receptions from audiences across the UK. He has showcased his immense talent at festivals including Brecon Jazz, Hellys International Guitar Festival and Aberjazz, displaying new levels of skill, complexity and versatility, whilst fusing styles, ranging from gypsy jazz, blues, Americana, country and dixieland, to swing, pop and folk.
Since 2018, Banet has been building an impressive career as a solo fingerstyle acoustic guitarist, displaying his exceptional abilities and receiving rave reviews along the way. He has performed with artists, including Josh Smith (Joe Bonamassa), Mark Flanagan (Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra), Jack Broadbent and Clive Carroll, amongst others.
Iago was born in Galicia in the north-west of Spain. As a teenager, he found a classical guitar at home and set about learning to master it. From that moment, there was no going back: guitar became his passion, his obsession and his future. Iago’s technique and approach to performance have captivated crowds across the UK and Spain. He is a one-man-band on acoustic guitar not to be missed.

He’ll perform some of his best known sax solos, including Take That’s ‘Million Love Songs’, M-People’s ‘Moving on up’ + ‘Search for the Hero’, Lisa Stansfield’s ‘Change’ Klingandes ‘Jubel’ Faul ‘Changes’ and the theme tune from ’The Office’.
