SUMMARY:Jazz: Nick Malcolm and Martin Kolarides Quartetand Martin Kolarides
DESCRIPTION:Nick Malcolm – trumpet\, Martin Kolarides – guitar\, Greg Cordez – bass\, Mark Whitlam – drums \nTrumpeter Nick Malcolm should be well known to Bristol audiences and has a growing national reputation. A fearless and inventive soloist\, he moves effortlessly between completely free improvisation and blistering hard-bop. He is known for his work with Out Front\, Dee Byrne’s Outlines\, Rebecca Nash and has recently ended a long tenure with the Jazz Defenders. \nGuitarist Martin Kolarides is yet another fine musician who has been drawn from London into the mysterious jazz vortex of Frome in Somerset. A graduate of London’s Trinity College of Music\, Martin has established himself as one of the most creative\, versatile and hard working musicians in the UK. Equally at home playing rock\, blues\, swing and jazz\, Martin has worked with many outstanding musicians who have inspired his love of many styles including jazz\, folk\, Americana\, experimental pop and electronica to name just a few. In addition to writing for and directing his own groups\, Martin is a seasoned session player with numerous jazz and pop credits to his name… recent notable artists have included mainstream TV appearances with US singer-songwriter Valerie June as well as being the touring guitarist for another US act\, chart topping jazz/R&B singer Lizz Wright. Martin has also recorded two top 20 albums and performs internationally with English close harmony vocal trio The Puppini Sisters. He has also recently completed a European tour with US singer and Snarky Puppy guest vocalist Shayna Steele\, and is one of the founding members of electronic neo-soul outfit HUGH. Martin also produces music under the guise of ‘Sinking Monolith’ and has numerous writing and remix credits to his name. \nIt’s great to welcome back bassist Greg Cordez to the live scene. Having recorded three albums as band leader and composer\, two of which were recorded in the USA with top-flight American players\, Greg has rather retreated in to academia since Covid\, concentrating on his teaching job at BIMM music college – but now he’s back and ready for a new chapter. \nDrummer Mark Whitlam also tutors at BIMM and is currently working on his PhD. One of Bristol’s busiest musicians\, Mark has worked with major jazz names such as Andy Sheppard\, Iain Ballamy and Jason Rebello.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Psychology of Carl Jung with Dr Rachel Newsome
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what our dreams and imagination can say about our inner psychology? Join us for an illuminating introduction to the psychology of Carl Jung and his groundbreaking ideas about the creative\, healing power of the unconscious. A founding father of depth psychology\, Jung was a maverick thinker\, artist and visionary whose ideas were ahead of his time. His extensive studies of ancient religions and mythologies\, alongside his deep dream work\, brought him to the edge of sanity. Through this work\, he developed the pioneering concepts of the collective unconscious\, the archetypes (including the shadow and the self)\, synchronicity\, individuation\, creative self-realisation and more. \nIn this talk\, we’ll explore key Jungian concepts in relation to how Jung combined ancient Eastern wisdom with Western psychology. We’ll learn how this can be understood as a form of ‘sacred science’ reflecting the spiritual crisis of late stage capitalism and how Jung’s thought places us inside a larger reality transcending space and time. We’ll look at the instrumental role of imagination\, dreams and symbols in Jung’s approach to psychoanalysis\, including his innovative technique of active imagination or ‘dreaming awake’. We’ll consider how Jung’s psychoanalysis is still relevant today as a powerful\, transformative tool to access the unknown and facilitate creativity in support of both individual and collective growth. \nDr Rachel Newsome is a Jungian-based writer and teacher. She holds a doctorate in applying Jungian psychoanalysis to creative writing and is the founder of Depth Writing With Dr Rachel\, a holistic creative learning programme aimed at supporting transformational growth. Dr Rachel has a background in the media and academia as a former editor of arts & culture magazine Dazed & Confused and a lecturer with twenty years’ experience\, respectively. She is an Associate of the Higher Education Association and an Editorial Board Member of the London Arts-Based Research Centre. Her research has been published in international academic journals and she is Co-Editor of the forthcoming Routledge publication The Creative Psyche: Between Spirit and Matter. Her monthly Depth Writing With Dr Rachel dispatches on travels between worlds via the arts\, culture and all things Jungian can be found on Substack.

SUMMARY:Music: Lilly Hiatt
DESCRIPTION:The search for answers—where she’s been\, who she’s become\, what it all means—lies at the heart of Hiatt’s striking new album\, Forever. Written and recorded in Hiatt’s new home just outside Nashville\, the collection grapples with growth and change\, escape and anxiety\, self-loathing and self-love. \nThe songs are intensely vulnerable here\, full of diaristic snapshots and deeply personal ruminations\, but they’re also broad invitations to find yourself in Hiatt’s unflinching emotional excavations\, to see your own humanity reflected back in her pursuit of something larger than herself. Hiatt cut the album with her husband\, Coley Hinson\, who produced and played most of the instruments on the record\, and the result is a raw\, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer/songwriter sensitivity\, a bold\, guitar-driven\, at times psychedelic exploration of maturity and adulthood from an artist who wants you to know you’re not alone\, no matter how lost you may feel. \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Talk: ADHD & Women: Misunderstood\, misdiagnosed & moving forward for change
DESCRIPTION:Discover the nuances of how ADHD presents itself differently within women in a neuroaffirming environment. Followed by Q&A. \nJoin us for an insightful talk exploring how ADHD uniquely affects women – from late or missed diagnoses to the emotional toll of being misunderstood. \nDespite growing awareness\, many women are still overlooked or misdiagnosed due to outdated assumptions and gender bias. Drawing on the latest research and real-life experiences\, we’ll unpack key topics including emotional regulation\, masking\, burnout and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. We’ll also explore how hormonal changes can intensify ADHD symptoms – and what can be done to support wellbeing throughout these shifts. \nThis talk takes a neuro-affirming approach\, offering practical strategies and insights to empower women to better understand themselves and advocate for the support they need. \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr Emilie Moorhead (DClinPsych\, CPsychol\, BSc) is a Clinical Psychologist with nearly two decades of clinical experience working with Neurodivergent people. She is a Registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Chartered Clinical Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS).

She adopts a neuro-affirming approach\, helping Neurodivergent people to recognise the strengths and values that they have to enable them to embrace their full potential. She strongly believes that everybody should be able to access Neurodivergent support in a proactive and preventative manner\, without needing to reach crisis point first.  \nDr Moorhead has also worked in a range of NHS and private mental health services\, including Clinical Lead at two specialist Neurodiversity Services. She works with individuals across the lifespan. She is a guest lecturer on a number of University courses\, specialising in Neurodivergent conditions and post-diagnostic support.

SUMMARY:Comedy: Carey Marx
DESCRIPTION:Stand Up For The Weekend with Carey Marx featuring Abigoliah Schamaun and Tom Toal\n\nStand Up For The Weekend is our weekly comedy show featuring top circuit headliners and guest acts plus incredibly funny and engaging comperes who host the show. A choice of table seats\, reserved row seats and unreserved row seats are available.\n\n\nHeadliner: CAREY MARX\nCarey Marx is an unapologetic gagsmith. The jokes are short and sharp\, often uncomfortably so\, as any morality is sacrificed on the altar of quick laughs. And there’s no better way of guaranteeing a reaction than storming headlong into decidedly dodgy territory.\n\nThere’s plenty here for the connoisseur of comedy writing. The lines are efficient\, original and potent – and rarely fail to blindside the audience. \nAnd they come at a blistering rate\, thanks to a hugely economical delivery. He doesn’t go out of the way to befriend an audience\, yet there is a subtle charm and intelligence to him\, even when the material is blatantly offensive. \n\n“Hilariously demented” Edinburgh Evening News\n“Anecdotally debauched … But if his lines are frequently sick\, they’re elegantly written\, too\, and there’s a childlike glee to his naughtiness.” The Herald

You can hear the earthy influence of the down town New York scene as well as the avant garde. \nShades of Tim Berne\, Chris Speed et al as well as a plethora of influences from within the more straight ahead jazz tradition also – all played with heart and beauty in this highly interactive and musical trio.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Psychology of EMDR Therapy: Rewiring memories
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how our brains process and heal from life’s toughest moments? Many of us carry unresolved experiences—whether it’s a difficult breakup\, childhood criticism\, or a lingering fear—that can quietly block our confidence\, relationships\, or success. \nEye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach designed to help people move past trauma\, anxiety\, and other emotional hurdles. \nIn this talk\, you’ll discover how EMDR works—by using a combination of focused attention and guided eye movements to “unblock” the trauma stored in the brain and release emotional pain. Unlike traditional talk therapy\, EMDR taps into the brain’s natural ability to heal\, offering relief often in a shorter timeframe. \nTrauma expert Shelly Bradley-Scholey will explore real-world success stories and explain why EMDR has become a trusted tool for millions worldwide. Whether you’re curious about new ways to heal or want to understand how the mind can overcome its deepest struggles\, this talk will open your eyes to the possibilities of modern therapy. \nAbout your host: \nShelley Bradley-Scholey is a UK-based trauma expert\, accredited EMDR Consultant\, BABCP-certified CBT therapist\, and Registered Mental Health Nurse with over 20 years of experience in mental health\, including 13 years in Defence Mental Health Services. She holds a MSc in CBT Research from the University of Oxford and is the founder of Fortitude Psychological Therapy\, offering trauma-focused therapy\, supervision\, and teaching. A guest lecturer at Oxford and Exeter Universities\, published author\, and public speaker\, Shelley integrates EMDR\, Beckian CBT\, and Compassion-Focused Therapy into her survivor-centered\, compassionate approach to healing.
