SUMMARY:Jazz: Sophie Stockham Quartet - Tribute to Lou Donaldson
DESCRIPTION:Sophie Stockham – saxes\,
Adam Stokes – guitar\,
Ruth Hammond – organ\,
Matt Brown – drums \nThe Sophie Stockham Quartet pay tribute to the great Hard Bop saxophonist Lou Donaldson.  Known for his soulful bluesy approach to the saxophone\, Donaldson was one of the pioneering voices in Hard Bop during his time with Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers and Horace Silver. \nSaxophonist and composer Sophie Stockham Brown (Starlings\, Orphic\, Dakhla\, Sefrial\, Cut Capers) works across a raft of musical styles as collaborator and in demand session musician.

SUMMARY:Music: Sam Outlaw Plus Special Guest\, Hannah Aldridge.
DESCRIPTION:After a wonderful show in The Studio in March 2022\, Sam Outlaw returns Bristol with his new album Terra Cotta \nSam Outlaw is a southern Californian based singer-songwriter steeped in the music and mythos of west coast country\, absorbing the classic vibes of everything from ’60s Bakersfield honky-tonk to ’70s Laurel Canyon troubadour pop and refashioning them into a sound that’s pleasurably past\, present and future tense. \n  \nSpecial guest Hannah Aldridge. \nHannah Aldridge grew up on the muddy banks of Muscle Shoals—her birthright is music and Alabama. A reckoning between her coming-of-age in the South and a lifetime of trying to create an identity outside of it\, her songs strike a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery. These two themes weave through Aldridge’s gifted storytelling\, making for records that soothe like a lullaby and crack like a whip. For those raised in the Bible Belt\, Aldridge’s music sounds like the voice of an old friend who understands. For those not in the know\, her music is an initiation to the dark side of the South\, Christian fundamentalism and the struggle to forge a future in a place haunted by its past. \n  \nSam & Hannah will be joined on stage by the wonderful Demi Marriner.

SUMMARY:Music: Sarabeth Tucek CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, we are sorry to announce the cancellation of this show\nCRH Music\, by arrangement with Outsider Artists\, present …\nSarabeth Tucek\nHer 2023 double album release\, Joan of All has garnered impressive critical acclaim. \nSBT and her music are the product of America\, and whilst sounding somehow familiar is unlike anything that has come before – it is an utter rejection of pastiche. \nAmerican singer-songwriter Sarabeth Tucek returned in 2023 after a decade-long intermission with the new moniker SBT and her long-awaited third album ‘Joan Of All’\, which was issued world-wide on her own imprint Ocean Omen. \nAfter the first single “The Gift” received heavy play on BBC Radio 6 Music courtesy of Marc Riley\, Gideon Coe and Cerys Matthews\, anticipation for the new double-album kicked into high gear\, and it did not disappoint\, hailed by critics and fans alike as her masterwork. \nShe followed up by mounting three full-band tours of the UK which saw her perform the epic ‘Joan Of All’ in its entirety. SBT now returns to the UK and Ireland in April/May 2025 for a very special\, intimate set of acoustic shows with her longtime producer Luther Russell which will cut a swath through her whole catalog\, including her classic self-titled debut\, the much beloved sophomore album ‘Get Well Soon’ and of course the genre-defying\, ‘Joan of All’. \n“A glorious peak” ––MOJO ⅘**** \n  \n

SUMMARY:Talk: The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
DESCRIPTION:Unravel one of history’s greatest thinkers exploring the ‘death of God’\, the meaning of life\, and the value of our values. Followed by Q&A. \n  \n‘God is dead’ proclaimed Nietzsche in 1882\, a saying which has become world-renowned alongside his recognition as a philosopher of ‘nihilism’. Nietzsche is one of the key figures to address the decline in religion in Europe alongside increasing modernisation and what this means for life’s fundamental questions. If a higher power doesn’t exist\, then what do our lives mean? Similarly in a largely post-religious society\, how can we think about universal values? \nJoin Dr Elliott to explore Nietzsche’s key ideas. First\, we will assess the importance of the famous ‘death of god’ message from Nietzsche’s The Gay Science\, exploring its implications for thinking about nihilism\, commonly understood as the absence of any ultimate value or meaning to life. We will also address the nuances of Nietzsche’s own position about what nihilism really is. Secondly\, we will explore what tools or resources Nietzsche gives us for thinking about the meaning of our lives. We will look at the reasons for his rejection of traditional religious narratives about the meaning of life and take Nietzsche seriously about his claim to re-think the “value of our values”\, and what possibilities are opened up to us in the wake of the death of God. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nFollow us on IG @seedtalks \nDr Richard J. Elliott is Lecturer in European Philosophy at Birkbeck College\, University of London. He has published widely on Nietzsche and many other topics in modern European philosophy. He currently has a book under contract on the topic of Nietzsche and the Death of God with Cambridge University Press.

SUMMARY:Jazz: Simon Spillett
DESCRIPTION:Our special guest soloist tonight is Simon Spillett\, who over the past twenty years or so has established himself as one of the UK’s pre-eminent saxophonists. Simon is a firm advocate of straight ahead hard-swinging modern jazz\, and his lack of pretention has made him a huge hit with the UK jazz audience\, although he sometimes jokes online about his lack of eligibility for Arts Council grants. \nSince his last visit in 2024 Simon has been busy promoting and performing the music from his big band album Dear Tubby H\, featuring the cream of the UK jazz scene and dedicated to performing the arrangements of Tubby Hayes\, many of which have not been heard performed live since Tubby passed away in 1973. Released in Sept 2023 the album has been immediately hailed as one of the most significant UK jazz recordings of recent years\, and gained an extremely rare 5-star review in Jazzwise magazine. “Everything about this first-ever release on drummer Pete Cater’s new mister PC label exudes class. The look of the album\, its design and booklet notes\, the superb photography\, the marvellous sound\, but above all\, the sheer fizzing intensity of the playing. It’s all here.” – Pete Vacher\, Jazzwise. \nAlongside his playing career Simon is also a jazz author and reviewer\, perhaps best known for his biography of Tubby Hayes\, “The Long Shadow of the Little Giant.”  Both through his writing and his playing he has done a huge amount to bring the achievements of one of the UK’s most important jazz musicians to a whole new generation. Although able to sound uncannily like Tubby when he chooses to\, Simon’s palette is broader than just one player and he is also highly knowledgeable about the styles of other saxophonists such as Zoot Sims\, Stan Getz\, Dexter Gordon and John Coltrane. \nSimon has won several awards\, including the tenor saxophone category of the British Jazz Awards (2011)\, Jazz Journal magazine’s Critic’s Choice CD of the Year (2009) Rising Star in the BBC Jazz Awards (2007) and Services to British Jazz in the 2016 British Jazz Awards. \nFor tonight’s quartet performance Simon is backed by some of Bristol’s finest – Tim Funnell – piano\, Will Harris – bass and Andy Hague – drums.

SUMMARY:Music: John Donegan Sextet
DESCRIPTION:John Donegan – piano\, Andy Hague – trumpet\, Luke Annesley – alto sax\,  Ben Waghorn – tenor sax\, Riaan Vosloo – bass\, Ryan Thrupp – drums. \nPianist John Donegan provided stand-out gigs in 2023 and 2024\, and returns to present a new CD and batch of compositions. For his new album “We Will Meet Again\, Sometime” John sticks with the three horn line-up of the Irish Sextet featuring some of the biggest names in the Irish jazz scene. On four tracks the regular sextet is expanded to septet by the addition of Hugh Buckley on guitar\, cousin to the famous sax playing brothers Michael and Richie. “We Will Meet Again\, Sometime” achieved a hard-to-get four star review from respected jazz author Pete Vacher in the recent edition of Jazzwise magazine\, and was also made Editor’s Choice – “it’s a packed and varied programme coupling fine writing and striking playing by these Irish superstars.” \nOriginally from Cork in Ireland\, John Donegan lived in Bristol during the 90s and was a mainstay of the jazz scene here before work took him to London. Now retired from his day job\, over the past few years John has been able to dedicate his time exclusively to music and has released several recordings demonstrating his compositional skills including a suite of 21 contemporary pieces which have been released as 2 CDs\, Siamsa Vols 1 & 2. “An intriguing combination of classic bebop laced with Irish folk melody\, this album from pianist John and his saxophonist friend Tommaso Starace is full of sublime lyrical moments” – Musicians Union Magazine. \nWhen performing in London John’s sextet includes such heavy hitters as Steve Fishwick on trumpet and Alex Hitchcock on tenor sax\, but for tonight we have reunited a special cast of Bristol’s finest players to perform John’s excellent arrangements – hopefully all of whom should be no strangers to our regular audience.

SUMMARY:Music: Phonseca Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Phonseca launch their first new music in 5 years with their new album Everything Lasts Forever.\nWith excellent support from Alex Comaish and DJ Chris Faulkner. \nPhonseca is the Synthpop/Ambient/Electronica project\, which brings together Bristol’s much respected keys/synth player\, classically trained pianist Matthew O’Connor and brilliant Swedish vocalist Kristina Sheppard. \nMatthew has a rich musical background\, bringing his talent to bands across the musical spectrum from House to Shoegaze\, Psyche to Soundtrack\, Electronica\, Britpop and Rock.\nInevitably the urge to form a more personal musical landscape saw him starting to write his own music. This started the process which resulted in Between A Dream\, the debut album under the name Phonseca. \nThe album was championed in the UK on BBC Radio 6 Music by both Gideon Coe and Steve Lamacq. With Steve Lamacq featuring it in his “Recommends” show. It also picked up lots of airplay and excellent reviews around the world. \nMatthew’s classical training has an influence on his work. In addition to Phonseca\, he has composed Library Music where his work has been synched on primetime T.V. like BBC1’s – The One Show and Gardeners World\, Channel 5 programs and National T.V. in most of Europe.\nThis was the catalyst for first writing with Kristina\, initially working on songs for a Disney project which followed a chance meeting at a wedding fayre\, where they had stalls directly opposite each other.\nSince its release\, they have spent the past few years promoting the debut album while writing/recording the second “Everything Lasts Forever” which is now ready for release via Old Bad Habits Label.” \nQuotes\nJason Small – Small Music Scene\n“Matthew is a man with genuine talent that can’t afford to go amiss. Kristina sings with stunning sublime harmonies\, honestly the pair should collaborate more in future\, they make a great team.” \nSteve Lamacq BBC6 Music\n“This is a great album\, really interesting stuff”

SUMMARY:Music: John Law's Congregation
DESCRIPTION:John Law – piano\, Sam Crockatt – tenor saxophone\, Nick Pini – bass\, Alex Goodyear – drums \nThis is the same rhythm section that played with saxophonist Jon Lloyd in a completely sold-out gig back in January\, so hopefully another highly popular gig in the offing. Pianist John Law takes over band-leader and compositional duties for this one\, with the excellent Sam Crockatt on saxophone. \nCongregation is the name John uses for his quartet playing all his original music\, as opposed to Re-Creations – his project we have previously presented in which he radically reworks the material of other composers. \nPresenting\, alongside new compositions\, some of John’s best works from the back catalogue of both Congregation and the Art of Sound trio\, this is a return to a purely acoustic quartet\, without synths and samples! Featuring works from the Congregation albums Three Leaps of the Gazelle\, These Skies In Which We Rust and CONFIGURATION\, including I Sink Therefore I Swam\, Configuration\, Triadic Ballet and from the older trio group\, tunes like Bo Peep and the signature hit tune Congregation. \nCovering everything from broad\, anthem-like melodies and hard-hitting\, rhythmically powerful groovers\, to slow\, poised ballads with meltingly beautiful tunes… \nCome and join the Congregation!

SUMMARY:Talk:The Psychology of Autism and Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Discover the unique aspects of autistic communication and gain practical strategies for strengthening relationships. Followed by Q+A. \nAutistic individuals communicate and build relationships in unique ways with both autistic and non-autistic individuals. They may face challenges like camouflaging – adapting or minimising their behaviour to fit in – and social rejection. These experiences can be understood through Double Empathy Theory\, which suggests that people with different worldviews may struggle to empathise with each other due to differences in language use and comprehension. \nIn this talk\, Emine Gurbuz will unpack the distinctive nature of autistic communication\, through the lens of Double Empathy Theory. She will focus on the role of non-autistic partners and explore how these experiences affect mental health. She will conclude by offering actionable insights and tools to bridge the gap and enhance understanding and communication between autistic and non-autistic individuals. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a bite to eat! \nSpeaker Bio \nEmine Gurbuz is a senior lecturer at the University of Portsmouth’s School of Psychology and Sport Sciences. She is part of the Centre for Interaction\, Development and Diversity Research which examines social interactions across human development. Her research supports families\, children and professionals in education\, employment and care settings. Emine uses Collaborative Participatory Research Approach to study the experiences of autistic adults using both qualitative and quantitative methods. \n
