SUMMARY:Music: Peter Case\, with Sid Griffin.
DESCRIPTION:An evening with American song writing legends\, Peter Case and Sid Griffin. \nPeter Case is a three time Grammy nominated singer-songwriter from the USA who has a most impressive resume. He was the founder of the Nerves\, the very first American indie band to put together a nationwide tour and one of the very first to release their own indie EP. He then was the founder and leader of the legendary Plimsouls\, an incredibly influential L.A. rock and roll band which drew praise from everyone from Elvis Costello to Tom Petty to critics nationwide. \nFor the past thirty-some years Peter Case has been a solo troubadour in the great tradition of Dylan\, Guthrie\, and Pete Seeger. Early on he was produced by T-Bone Burnett and he’s played with and been championed by Roger McGuinn\, Van Dyke Parks\, Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers and many more. His latest album is The Midnight Broadcast and it just might be his very best album. \nSid Griffin is best known by his leadership of the Long Ryders\, the founding fathers of alt-country and Americana. He is also the proud artist behind four well-received solo albums\, was the leader of the wonderful ‘alt-bluegrass’ UK band\, The Coal Porters\, he was the Resident Musicologist on BBC 6 Music’s Radcliffe & Maconie radio show for over a decade and Sid has written four books.

SUMMARY:Theatre: Tales From The Wasteland
DESCRIPTION:Tales From The Wasteland is an improvised post-apocalyptic adventure comedy. This twisted and talented cast of wastelanders will take a single suggestion from you and craft an entire narrative show with no pre-prepared characters\, story or dialogue. \nIf the world was ending\, what would be the one thing you’d want to survive? Join us as we explore a new world and find out what’s left over after Earth’s devastation. Expect raiders\, mutants and violence over scarce resources in this absurd dark comedy inspired by classics of the genre such as Mad Max\, The Last of Us and Fallout. \nWarning: this show tends to have dark themes\, violence and cannibalism. Seriously\, cannibalism comes up way too often. \n“I’m still reeling at how such an intricate tale was woven on the spot\, it’s truly a gift this cast has been blessed with.” – Obscure Reviews \n“They have the audience in stitches\, thanks to sharp timing and an ability to spin chaos into comedy.” – Bristol 24/7 \n“Their world-building is bewitching; conjuring a violent\, gory Mad Max vibe alongside whimsical and\, somehow\, endearing characters.” – The Everyday Magazine \nEntry requirements: 16+

SUMMARY:Jazz: Gideon Tazelaar and Arnie Somogyi Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Gideon Tazelaar – tenor sax\, Arnie Somogyi – bass\, Andy Hague – trumpet\, Jim Blomfield – piano\, Ryan Thrupp – drums. \nFor tonight’s presentation we welcome back after a long absence one of the Be-Bop Club’s co-founders\, the great bassist Arnie Somogyi. Arnie started the club alongside Italian pianist Andrea Papini around 1988 as far as anyone can remember\, originally in the now closed Crown and Anchor at the bottom of Jacobs Wells Rd. \nArnie visits as part of a short tour featuring special guest New York based saxophonist Gideon Tazelaar. \nOne of the rising stars of European jazz\, tenor saxophonist Gideon Tazelaar grew up in the Netherlands\, where he developed his musical skills by playing with saxophonist Benjamin Herman and drummer John Engels from a young age. A prodigious talent\, he was admitted to the Bachelor’s degree programme at Amsterdam Conservatoire at the age of just 14. In 2017 he moved to New York City\, where he studied at the Juilliard School of Music and played with Wynton Marsalis in a number of line-ups. Now a full-time resident of New York\, where he is mentored by saxophone legend George Coleman\, Tazelaar is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most exciting young tenor players on that scene\, working as a sideman with artists as diverse as Dr Lonnie Smith\, Eric Alexander and Dick Oatts as well as leading his own bands. His debut album ‘Volume One’ which he co-released with trumpeter Ian Cleaver\, features Danish bassist Felix Moseholm and Jorge Rossy on drums\, both of whom are currently touring as two thirds of the Brad Mehldau Trio. \nBassist Arnie Somogyi is well-known to jazz audiences through his work with some of the stars of the British and international scene. A band leader in his own right he has performed frequently at world-famous jazz club\, Ronnie Scott’s and at festivals throughout the world with major artists including the Mingus Big Band\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Art Farmer\, James Moody\, Seamus Blake and Annie Ross\, as well as international stars Tom Jones\, Charlie Watts and Amy Winehouse and British jazz legends such as Stan Tracey and Kenny Wheeler. His music has featured on radio\, television and in films and he has been nominated for both BBC Radio 3 and Parliamentary Jazz Awards and released 4 critically acclaimed albums as a leader. \nTo complete the specially assembled band for tonight’s gig\, Gideon and Arnie are joined by Bristol’s Andy Hague – trumpet\, Jim Blomfield- piano and Ryan Thrupp – drums. \n

SUMMARY:Music: Furlined
DESCRIPTION:Alt-country 5-piece band\, Furlined\, fronted by singer-songwriter Neil Crossley\, brings their unique sound to CRH Music @ the Chicken Shed. \nInfectious hooks\, rich vocals and lush\, swooning cello are the defining features of Furlined\, a Bristol-based band formed in 2012 by singer-songwriter Neil Crossley and cellist Tegan Everett. The band’s sound spans alt country and wry English chamber pop – “Morrissey meets Americana” as one review put it –  and they have been likened to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds\, Richard Hawley and Orange Juice.\nFurlined have attracted acclaim in publications such as Mojo\, Clash Magazine\, RnR and Billboard. “Songwriter Neil Crossley has one of those winning\, strong yet gentle Jackie Leven / Richard Hawley baritones that do male vulnerability beautifully\,” concluded Mojo in a 4/5 review of the band’s second album Win A Dream Wedding. “Furlined’s other striking sound is Tegan Everett’s cello\, which intros most of Crossley’s dark-honey melodies… A band with distinct aural charms.” \n“Morrissey meets Americana – superb songs with an irresistible English wit.” Total Guitar 9/10 \n  \nFurlined will be performing in our event space\, The Chicken Shed\, with their first set starting at 9pm

SUMMARY:Talk: Vampires & the Human Psyche
DESCRIPTION:Discover the fascinating connections between vampires and the human mind\, from Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With Q&A. \n\nWhy are we so drawn to vampires? What do they reveal about us? \nLong before Hollywood\, vampires started with folklore\, born out of fear and superstition. Over the centuries\, these figures have evolved into a key element of pop culture and left a lasting mark on our collective consciousness. From Dracula and Nosferatu to Lost Boys and our beloved Buffy the Vampire Slayer\, this talk will explore these enduring symbols and their connections to the human psyche. \nJoin Katie Evans in exploring why we both fear and love vampires\, and how their stories resonate with us on a personal level. Through psychoanalysis\, forensic psychology and the lens of gender and sexuality\, we will dig deep into vampiric legend. From Freud and Jung to modern ideas of narcissism\, we will explore how these blood-sucking figures represent otherness\, internal struggles and the complexities that many of us face as humans. \nSpeaker Bio: \nKatie Evans is a BACP-accredited therapist and self-confessed horror nerd. Her passion for all things spooky began in childhood and continued through her studies in music\, film\, and media at Liverpool University\, before moving into the field of mental health. She holds advanced accreditation in GSRD Therapy (Gender\, Sexuality\, and Relationship Diversity). In addition\, Katie has presented at conferences across Europe and has spoken for organisations including The Maudsley\, the British Psychological Society\, The NHS\, LGBT Foundation\, and HMPPS\, among others. She is also a registered guest lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. An advocate for using pop culture in psychotherapy\, Katie previously hosted The Mental Health Monsters Podcast and continues to explore how fictional narratives – especially those from the horror genre – can help us better understand ourselves. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Comedy: Ian Stone - IAN STONE IS LOOKING FOR THE WOW
DESCRIPTION:“Life can’t just be the humdrum\, the mundane and the routine before the inevitable slide to disease\, decay and death. Why can’t we sneak in a bit of awesome\, a tad of amazing and maybe a smidge of wonderful? A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years\, I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah.
