SUMMARY:Music: Dar Williams
DESCRIPTION:Dar Williams’ lyrics contain bouquets of optimism\, delivered on melodies alternating between beguiling lightness and understated gravity. \nWilliams strongly believes that all of us possess our own power and ability to achieve\, and she rejects the exceptionalism that encourages us to “admire that yonder star\,” while making us feel small and insignificant; unworthy of shining on our own but hoping to catch enough distant light to inspire some tiny accomplishment. Williams has always been very interested in how to control our future and this album has to do with the fact that at some point\, you just can’t. Like everyone else\, Williams spent 2020 in that state of non-control. \nShe and longtime producer Stewart Lerman tracked most of the album\, her 12th studio recording\, in November of 2019. In late February of 2020\, she cut the title tune in Woodstock with bassist Gail Ann Dorsey and Larry Campbell\, who produced the track and played guitars\, pedal steel and twangy baritone guitar. When told they had to postpone a mid-March mixing date\, Campbell said he wasn’t feeling well anyway. Turns out he’d contracted a serious case of COVID-19. That was a clear sign that at some point\, you have to meet life where it meets you …the common thread throughout that these songs\, the willingness to meet life as it arrives. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Jazz: From A to Z – The music of Al Cohn and Zoot Sims
DESCRIPTION:Al Cohn and Zoot Sims were one of the great tenor sax partnerships in jazz. In a series of albums beginning in the late fifties\, along with regular spots at the Half Note in New York\, they developed a quintet sound based on a joyful approach to performing\, rooted in swing\, informed by bebop and growing from their experiences together in the Woody Herman band. Al Cohn’s arrangements are super hip and not performed all that often. They often create the feeling of a ‘mini-big band’\, with driving swing and tight ensemble playing\, along with space for the soloists to shine individually and in duet. This is an exciting challenge for a band and a hugely enjoyable experience for the audience. \nFor this brand-new project\, Luke Annesley has assembled some great musicians\, all well-known to Bristol audiences (and beyond)\, to recreate Cohn’s arrangements\, which he has meticulously transcribed. With Ruth Hammond alongside Luke himself on tenor saxes\, the band also features Tom Berge on piano\, Riaan Vosloo on double bass and Scott Hammond on drums. Luke has a story about meeting Zoot Sims when he was 14 which he’ll bend your ear about given an opportunity\, but probably even better just to sit back and enjoy an evening’s homage to the music of Al and Zoot! \nRead more about the music of Al Cohn & Zoot Sims here: https://nationaljazzarchive.org.uk/explore/interviews/1634252-al-cohn-and-zoot-sims \n \n  \n25% off your food bill when you reserve a table in our  bar /restaurant\nWhen you book a table and enjoy dinner in our restaurant\, we reserve great seats for you\, ready for the performance\, so you can skip the queue and relax while enjoying your meal. \n\nPlease make your dinner reservation under the same name you used to book your tickets. \n\n*Does not include a ticket to your chosen event.

SUMMARY:Music: Poor Old Dogs
DESCRIPTION:An original take on traditional folk music. \nPoor Old Dogs is a riotous folk band from Bristol\, bringing beer-soaked mayhem and foot-stomping energy to the timeless traditions of UK and Irish folk music. \nHaving been playing together for over a decade\, they’ve honed their craft and their chaos\, with a knack for turning any gig into a rollicking\, rowdy singalong. They deliver raucous tunes\, wild stories\, and the kind of chaos that pairs perfectly with a pint (or three)\, performing both traditional music and their own self-penned songs \nExpect a night of riotous folk\,  beer-soaked mayhem and foot-stomping energy. \n
