Jâms has a close duo partnership with cellist Laura van der Heijden, whose album Path to the Moon reached over two million streams in its first week and was praised by The Guardian and Gramophone. His recordings also include works by Bridge, Britten, Pamela Harrison, and Fanny Hensel for labels such as Champs Hill Records, Resonus Classics, and First Hand Records. He collaborates widely with leading singers and instrumentalists, including Sir Bryn Terfel, Claire Booth, James Newby, Jennifer Pike, Timothy Ridout, and ensembles such as BBC NOW, Britten Sinfonia, and the Marmen Quartet.

He began playing at the age of eight, later studying at St Mary’s Music School and the Royal College of Music in London, and has since given masterclasses at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
As a concerto soloist, Colin has performed to critical acclaim with ensembles including Camerata Nordica, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Arcangelo, La Serenissima, and the Scottish Ensemble.

St Peter’s are delighted to be partnering with Marlborough LitFest 2025!
Please see the list below of the inspiring authors joining us at St Peters. Full details can be found HERE

The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller is set during the freezing winter of 1963 and follows two couples as their lives begin to fall apart. It’s a quiet, powerful story about relationships under pressure. Miller says he aims to capture the full human experience without forcing a message—and critics agree, with The Guardian calling it possibly his best work yet.

Summer Rolls by Tuyên Đỗ is a powerful family drama set in 1990s London. It follows Mai, a British-Vietnamese teen navigating two cultures and clashing with her protective mother, Trinh, a refugee from war-torn Vietnam. Đỗ explores identity, generational conflict, and the legacy of the Vietnam War in a story praised as poetic, nuanced, and deeply moving.

Church Going by Andrew Ziminski is a lively and insightful look at the architecture of British and Irish churches, from lychgates to crypts. Drawing on his experience as a stonemason, Ziminski explores medieval churches with warmth and humor. Packed with illustrations, it’s a charming guide to our religious heritage—complete with some unforgettable details (like the Sheela-na-gig).

Hollow Grave is the latest in Kate Webb’s gripping Wiltshire-based crime series featuring DI Matt Lockyer and DC Gemma Broad. This time, they investigate the 1999 disappearance of a woman from an archaeological dig. As always, Lockyer’s own past looms large. Webb, also known for her bestselling historical novels under the name Katherine Webb, has been praised as a standout new voice in crime fiction.

Logging Off by Adele Zeynep Walton is a powerful critique of our digital world. Drawing from personal tragedy and her experience as a Gen Z journalist, Walton explores how social media harms us while tech companies profit. The book offers both a warning and a guide to reclaiming a healthier, more humane digital future. Walton is also a campaigner for online safety and co-founder of the Logging Off Club, promoting real-world connection.

Sound Knowledge - Jack Garrett - Live Album Launch
2025-08-26 18:30 - 21:30 | St Peter’s Marlborough, High Street, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8 1HQ, United Kingdom
We’re thrilled to announce that singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jack Garratt will be joining us on Tuesday 26th August in St. Peter’s.
He’ll be playing live from 7pm to celebrate the release of his new album ‘Pillars’.
A first new album in five years from the former BBC Sound Of and BRITs Critics’ Choice award-winner, ‘Pillars’ follows two Top 10 records and the fan favourite ‘Hands Go Up’ EP released on storied dance label Skint.
Famed for his unblinking songwriting honesty and the sheer visceral impact of his one-man and band shows, Jack calls ‘Pillars’ “the most authentic sounding record I’ve made yet”.
If you’d like to attend this intimate performance in a beautiful setting, album and ticket bundles are available for purchase, featuring a copy of the new album (released Friday 15th August on CD, “marbled honey” vinyl and a clear vinyl variant exclusive to independent shops) and a ticket to the event.
Standalone tickets are also available but we’d ask you to consider buying a bundle where possible- it’s better value for you and the album sales help both the artist and also us with organising these events.
Tickets and bundles are available exclusively from Sound Knowledge in-store, over the phone on 01672 511106 or via this page.
**Under 16s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. We can’t admit under-8s for this one. This is a standing event but please notify Sound Knowledge by email if you have any access requirements.
