SUMMARY:Talk: The Phenomena of Parapsychology: A scientific approach to the extraordinary
DESCRIPTION:What if science could explain your most mysterious experiences – like sensing someone’s thoughts\, glimpsing the future\, or feeling a presence when no one’s there? \nParapsychology is the scientific study of the paranormal – those strange\, often unspoken moments that challenge our understanding of reality. From telepathy\, clairvoyance\, and precognition to altered states of consciousness and near-death experiences\, parapsychology explores the outer edges of human perception. It also investigates ghost sightings\, poltergeists\, mediumship\, and even memories of past lives – phenomena that seem to blur the boundary between life and death. \nWhat many don’t realise is that this field has a long and surprising history. The scientific investigation of paranormal phenomena began in 1882 – before psychology itself was formally established. Over the past 140 years\, parapsychological research has quietly influenced our understanding of the mind\, both within and beyond the mainstream. Join Dr David Luke for a deep dive into this fascinating realm – and discover what decades of scientific research say about the extraordinary experiences so many of us quietly wonder about. \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr David Luke is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Greenwich\, and Perrott-Warrick Senior Researcher (via Trinity College\, Cambridge) exploring parapsychology. He is a past president of the Parapsychological Association\, the field’s professional body. His research focuses on transpersonal and paranormal experiences\, anomalous phenomena and altered states of consciousness\, especially via psychedelics\, having published more than 100 academic papers in this area\, including thirteen books\, such as Otherworlds: Psychedelics and Exceptional Human Experience. When he is not running clinical drug trials with LSD\, studying lucid dream precognition\, or exploring apparent weather control with Mexican shamans he manages a small ancient woodland and is a cofounder and trustee of Breaking Convention: International Conference on Psychedelic Consciousness. He lives life on the edge of Sussex\, England.

SUMMARY:Jazz: Yetii
DESCRIPTION:Alex Veitch – piano\, Ashley John Long – bass\, Alex Goodyear – drums \nYetii return to the club to celebrate the release of their second album Inner Worlds. \nInner Worlds is about what goes on beneath the surface. Each composition immerses the listener in a different experience or state of mind. Singing melodies open and shift to reveal their inner workings. Solos morph into group improvisations: a shared single voice that ebbs and flows between and within the band’s original compositions. The album is a distillation and documentation of the sound we have formed over time at our monthly residency in Bristol over the last 7 years. \n2025 has been a big year in the world of Yetii. They played their concert hall debut to a sold out 400-strong crowd at St. George’s in Bristol\, supported The Bad Plus on their recent UK tour\, and have sold out each of their monthly gigs at The Greenbank in Bristol\, including collaborations with Parliamentary Award winner Arun Ghosh\, Get the Blessing’s Jake McMurchie\, and most recently Edition’s Ant Law. \n“all played with great beauty and sensitivity… a standing ovation greeted the end of their set ” Jazzwise\n“A performance that enthralled and delighted the audience ★★★★★” The Jazz Mann\n“Fluent and wildly inventive improvisers” UK Jazz News \n

SUMMARY:TALK: The History of Horror Films & Women
DESCRIPTION:Horror films often get a bad rap for how they treat women. Many lean on explicit sex and violence\, reduce women into disposable victims\, or fall back on familiar roles: the mother\, the virgin\, and the whore. But is that the whole story? \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Prof Susanne Kord takes a fresh look at women in horror\, from the “final girl” who outlasts everyone else to the archetypes we love to fear. Drawing on film and cartoon theory\, she explores how horror shapes the way we see women\, whether audiences share some responsibility for what they watch\, and whether an “ethical” horror film can exist. \nAt its core\, this talk wrestles with two big questions: why do we keep watching horror – and what does that say about us? \nSpeaker Bio: \nProfessor Susanne Kord is a Professor Emeritus of German at UCL and a member of the British Academy. Her research interests include German history and culture\, English literature\, cinema (with an emphasis on horror and/or gender issues)\, and the history of crime (in real life\, literature\, and film). She is the author of eleven books and dozens of essays\, and has received seven major awards for her writing\, including a life-time achievement award. So far she has gone on three international lecture tours\, and additionally offered fifteen keynote or plenary addresses at major conventions\, four named lectures\, and hundreds of other talks.

SUMMARY:Talk: The History of Witchcraft in Popular Culture
DESCRIPTION:Why do witches have such a strong pull on our collective imagination? Are they simply bewitching caricatures\, or is there something more metaphysical that drives their continuing popularity? \nFrom the printed engravings of the 15th century to the images created by AI in the 21st century\, witches continue to occupy a place in popular culture. They feature in art\, literature\, theatre\, music\, and film\, and many more. \nDr Julia Phillips will examine the role of the witch in popular culture\, from its earlier depictions to the present day. Discover  why this figure  has remained so compelling\, and how it has continually  evolved to embody  the fears\, values and hopes of each generation. Expect a lively journey through history\, myth and gender\, and leave with a fresh perspective on one of culture’s most enduring icons. \n  \nDr Julia Phillips is Hons Senior Research Associate and lecturer at the University of Bristol. She received her PhD for her research examining how witches and witchcraft were featured in newspapers in Victorian Britain. Her work has been published in books\, academic journals\, and popular magazines\, and she is a regular presenter at conferences and events.

SUMMARY:Live Jazz: Jonathan Gee Trio SW
DESCRIPTION:We’re very excited to present pianist Jonathan Gee\, one of the UK’s finest players with an international reputation including many European tours and frequent trips to New York. He is perhaps best known to the Bristol audience for some of the most memorable nights at the legendary Albert Inn\, where he appeared many times with saxophonist Ed Jones and trumpeter Damon Brown. He visits as part of a short SW tour facilitated by Devon based bass player and sculptor Marcus Vergette. \nJonathan is one the most prolific and imaginative composer-pianists operating today\, with a succession of ever-enticing bands and projects with world class line-ups from Europe and the USA. Aside from his own bands with which he has recorded 8 albums\, he has also worked closely with Bobby Wellins\, Claire Martin and Tim Whitehead\, Pharoah Sanders\, Mark Murphy and Art Farmer. With Tony Kofi he co-founded the Monk Liberation Front\, whose legendary performances of the complete Thelonious Monk catalogue have led to award-winning recordings.  He has performed in groups comprised of leading musicians from France\, Finland and Italy\, and a fantastic trio emerging from the hothouse of the New York jazz scene featuring Joseph Lepore and Nasheet Waits which has packed out Dizzy’s at Lincoln Centre. \nMarcus Vergette\, musician\, bell-maker\, sculptor\, was born on the banks of the Mississippi river in Southern Illinois. He grew up in the UK. Much of his recent work involves making large bells (up to 3 metres high) in bronze\, – his Time and Tide Bells. These are hung in specific locations around the coast and rung by the action of the sea at high tide. The first was installed at Appledore\, Devon\, in 2009. Subsequent sites range from Trinity Buoy Wharf\, on the Thames\, to the Outer Hebrides. Marcus is an accomplished double bass player and composer\, and has played in projects led by UK jazz legend Mike Westbrook over the past two decades. \n
