The John Cullen Evening The late John Cullen made a significant impact on music in Haslemere. He organised music evenings at previous Festivals and played in the local band Watershed, but much more importantly he was a never-tiring supporter of anyone who wanted to play for pleasure or professionally. Many of his playing partners are delighted to show their appreciation in this evening of music as a thank you to John. The evening will showcase talent from Haslemere and beyond across many styles from vaguely folky to decidedly rocky. At Georgian House Hotel, tickets £10
