Shane Record

We're delighted to welcome acclaimed Kent artist Shane Record as part of the Giroux.ai Summer Party.

Shane is a professional artist with over 20 years of experience, renowned for his vibrant palette-knife paintings that capture the beauty and atmosphere of Kent's coastline and landscapes. His work is held in private collections across the UK and beyond, and he has built a strong reputation for creating stunning paintings live before an audience.

During the event, Shane will be producing a live painting that will be auctioned in support of the Evie Dove Foundation. Watching a blank canvas transform into a finished artwork is always a highlight, and we're excited to share this unique experience with our guests while raising funds for a great cause.

Kara Strings

We're delighted to welcome the acclaimed Kara Strings Quartet to the Giroux Summer Party.

Kara Strings is one of the UK's leading professional string ensembles, featuring exceptional musicians trained at the UK's top conservatoires and regularly performing with the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras — as well as sharing stages with artists such as Ed Sheeran and Michael Bublé.

The ensemble has performed for distinguished clients including Netflix, Samsung, Aston Martin and members of the Royal Family, and at some of the UK's most prestigious venues, from St James's Palace and the Royal Albert Hall to The Ritz and Claridge's.

Combining classical excellence with contemporary flair, Kara Strings will provide the perfect soundtrack to the evening, from timeless classical masterpieces to modern favourites.

Evie Dove Foundation

This year's fundraising efforts will support the Evie Dove Foundation, an extraordinary charity created in memory of Evie Dove, who tragically lost her battle with cancer at just 13 years old.

Inspired by Evie's courage, kindness and unwavering spirit, the Foundation is dedicated to helping sick children and their families by investing in the future of paediatric healthcare. Through grants, bursaries and educational funding, it supports talented nurses, doctors and consultants to develop specialist skills that improve and save young lives across the UK.

What makes the Foundation so powerful is that every contribution helps create a lasting legacy. By supporting the education and training of compassionate healthcare professionals, donations made today will continue to impact thousands of children and families for years to come.

We are proud to support the Evie Dove Foundation at this year's Giroux.ai Summer Party and hope you will join us in helping this remarkable charity continue its life-changing work.
