Working in partnership with the SRA contributes to enhancing your dining experience whilst also positively impacting the planet.

THE SUSTAINABLE RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION

The SRA is on a mission to grow the number of sustainable places to eat in

the UK and make them easier to find and enjoy.

Our goal is to make sustainability a part of the DNA of every restaurant,

while inviting diners in along the way to understand what makes food good.

Faced with a full menu of dishes to choose from, it can be hard to use the power of your appetite wisely.

One Planet Plate is a restaurant movement that puts sustainability on the menu. It’s the perfect way for chefs to demonstrate how food can help us live better on planet earth. A One Planet Plate is a delicious vote for the future you want to see.

Vote with your fork and order a One Planet Plate at Summer in the Square, and in Mayfair and Belgravia throughout 2018. Find a participating restaurant here: www.oneplanetplate.org

ONE PLANET PLATE CHEF DEMONSTRATION

Just what does sustainable food look, smell and taste like and how easy is it to prepare? At this special SRA curated chef demo you’ll get to experience the full pleasure of a One Planet Plate – a dish that does good as well as tasting good.

Be inspired to create your own planet-friendly food and help create a better food future. And for dessert, a discussion about what makes planet-friendly food and why we all need to be eating it. thesra.org

14 Main stage Acts

Piers SherwoodMulti-instrumentalist and singer songwriter Piers has been playing across London for the last 10 years, covering songs from as early as the 1940’s right up to today’s biggest hits. His debut solo EP ‘FALL’ a collaboration with producer Adam Burke (Molotov Jukebox, The Insatiable, Square Pegs) is out now on all major online platforms.

Alice Phelps bandCreating ambient lilting rhythmic harmonies with the harp allowing the bellowing husky vocals to be perfectly contrasted in a very unusual but beautiful way. Influenced by folk from near and far, Irish to Chinese, Alice Phelps blends this with non-traditional and blues infused melodies.

Birch TrioThe Birch Trio are a majestic three piece performance group who merge the hand pan and clarinet to create a wonderful array of sounds to the sooth the soul.

Son YambuSon Yambu are a UK based band who play authentic Cuban Songs – the essential Afro-Cuban sound that originated in the streets of eastern Cuba and gave rise to modern salsa. They’ll be sure to have you dancing!

Doctor Dolittle By Illrya Theatre ProductionsWhen Doctor John Dolittle of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh is taught by his wise old parrot Polynesia how to talk to animals, news of his skills spreads far and wide. Soon animals across the world send messages asking for his help. So, he buys a leaky old ship and, together with his trusty pet-crew of Jip the dog, Chee-Chee the monkey, Dab-Dab the Duck and permanently hungry Gub-Gub the pig, sets forth on a mission to heal illness, spread compassion and gain a greater understanding of the animal kingdom.

A funny, much-loved and exciting adventure, with a strong message about responsibility towards animals and the environment, this show is created by the same Illyria team who brought you an entire menagerie of animal puppets in Danny the Champion of the World and a life-size T-Rex in The Lost World.

The show is suitable for cheeky monkeys aged 5+.

Miss JonesMiss Jones is a rockabilly blues singer, guitarist and songwriter based in London. Influenced by female pioneers of the 1950s, along with the rawness of the blues and country, Miss Jones likes to put the rock in to the bop!

Originally from the valleys of South Wales, Miss Jones has performed in many bands over the last ten years and has toured around the UK with the likes of chart toppers The Polecats and Scottish bluesman Dave Acari.

Miss Jones has a weekly residency at a 1950s style bar called Bebopalula and is looking forward to playing festivals throughout the summer and finishing her EP which will be released before the end of 2018.

15Main stage Acts

The Embers CollectiveThe Embers Collective are a London-based storytelling group bringing together and sharing myths, music and folk stories from around the world in intimate and intriguing settings.

Old Hat BandThe Old Hat Jazz Band continues the tradition of crafting music with a hot and swinging approach from favourite tunes of the 1920’s and 30’s. Featuring some of the finest musical talent London has to offer and combining the quintessential sound of the 20’s and 30’s with originality and characterful musicianship, Old Hat Jazz Band enjoys playing for dancers and listening music lovers wherever they are invited.

Crinkle CutsFresh with a capital PH, Crinkle Cuts deliver you a blasting of tantric funk, smooth reggae and new-wave latin ska woven together in a bombastic psychedelic tapestry of good vibes for an eccentric, exotic and eargasmic live performance.

HandleBardsThe HandleBards are four-strong troupes of cycling actors who carry with them all the necessary set, props and costume to perform extremely energetic, charmingly chaotic and environmentally sustainable Shakespeare plays across the globe.

Koko Collective In this brand new quartet, four professional jazz musicians and friends indulge their love for the gin-soaked swing of the 1920’s-40’s. After one massive drink, they’ll be frantically polishing their chops and getting ready to light up the music of such famous bon viveurs as Fats Waller, Lester Young, Sidney Bechet and Jelly Roll Morton.

Mayfair Community ChoirThe Mayfair Community Choir was founded in September 2013 and has grown thanks to generous giving by local supporters, including Grosvenor”s Living Communities Fund.

Membership of the choir is open to all who live, work or visit Mayfair, regardless of musical experience - there is no need to audition and no fee. To take part, perform and enjoy are the only requirements.

Expect energy, excitement and supremely high quality entertainment from this talented ensemble.

Liz WestLiz West creates vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. Working across a variety of mediums, West aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer through her works. She is interested in exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour.

West’s investigation into the relationship between colour and light is often realised through an engagement between materiality and a given site. Within physical and architectural space, West uses light as a material that radiates outside of its boundaries and containers. She playfully refracts light through using translucent, transparent or reflective materials, directing the flow of artificialand natural light. Our understanding of colour can only be realised through the presence of light. By playing and adjusting colour, West brings out the intensity and composition of her spatial arrangements.

Matthew Van Kan’s Jazz bandMatthew and his musicians have performed for HM The Queen, Prince Albert of Monaco and members of The British, Serbian and Omani Royal Family. The vanKan Band marked Frank Sinatra’s Centenary Celebrations with shows in London, Qatar and Abu Dhabi and Matthew was a special guest of Deana Martin for shows in the USA celebrating the music of her father and Rat Pack member Dean Martin. This will be Matthew’s 7th year at Summer In The Square.

Between them the band have played in all of the major London jazz venues including Ronnie Scott’s, The Vortex, and the 606 Jazz Club, as well as at the London Jazz Festival, Royal Albert Hall and many others. The Dixie Strollers are guaranteed to get you on your feet!
