SUMMARY:Talk:  The History of Greek Mythology: From Mount Olympus to modern mystery
DESCRIPTION:From Mount Olympus to Medusa\, discover the fascinating history of Greek mythology and its echoes through the ages. Followed by Q&A.\n\n\nFor over two thousand years\, Greek mythology has shaped Western imagination. Stories of Olympian gods\, epic heroes\, and fearsome monsters have inspired philosophers and poets\, painters and playwrights\, filmmakers and fans alike. We’ve seen Homeric epics to the spectacle of Troy and the bold reinvention of myth in Netflix’s Kaos. Every retelling places us in an unbroken chain of storytellers stretching back to antiquity\, keeping ancient voices alive in the modern world. But how well do we really know the origins of these tales? \nIn this talk\, Dr Shelby Judge explores the great mythic ages of ancient Greece – the Golden and Silver Ages\, the Bronze Age\, and the Age of Heroes – bringing to life the defining stories and figures of each era. Along the way\, the talk asks a deeper question: why have these myths endured? By examining their archetypes\, moral tensions\, and enduring insights into the human condition\, this talk reveals why Greek mythology continues to fascinate\, challenge\, and enchant us today. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7.30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr Shelby Judge is a Lecturer in Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Derby\, where she researches digital feminist and popular feminist responses to Incels and the Manosphere. She recently completed her PhD in English Literature at the University of Glasgow\, producing the thesis Contemporary Feminist Adaptations of Greek Myth\, and her work in this field is ongoing due to the genre’s proliferating nature. Shelby has published on topics including #MeToo and the Trojan War\, 21st-century adaptations of Helen of Troy\, transgender adaptations of Frankenstein\, and transgender readings of Ovid.  \nShe has delivered public lectures on toxic masculinity in Greek myth and sea monsters in Scottish folklore\, and is a regular contributor to the Literary Encyclopedia\, where she has written on the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy and Margaret Atwood\, as well as entries on Laura Bates and Janice Hallett. She also serves as a committee member for the Transatlantic Literary Women network\, funded by the US Embassy and BAAS.

SUMMARY:Talk: Getting Away with Murder: Why some murders stay unsolved
DESCRIPTION:Every crime tells a story. But not every story ends with justice. \n\n\n\n\nBehind every closed case and every cold file lies a question we can’t quite let go of… how did they get away with it? \nIn this series\, we’ll uncover the truth behind the world’s most baffling crimes… where evidence was missed\, witnesses were silenced\, and the guilty walked free. We’ll explore the psychology of deception\, the flaws in forensic science\, and the fragile line between guilt and innocence. Because when the system breaks\, it’s not just the victims who suffer — it’s our faith in justice itself. \nJoin Dr. Friday\, as we go beyond the headlines… and into the minds of those who got away with murder. \n\n\n \nDr Friday earned his PhD at the University of Greenwich and went on to lead their forensic psychology course for the Criminology Department. \nHis experimental research earned him the ‘doctor’ title and several academic awards\, but he’s very much just Ross when bringing the darker edges of human behaviour to the public. With pitch-black humour and personal stories\, he makes complex forensic psychology accessible\, entertaining — and sometimes even hilarious. He’s created live shows\, a book\, and even an immersive crime scene experience that lets guests step into the macabre world of the serial killer.

SUMMARY:Jazz: Nils Kavanagh Trio
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Irish/Danish pianist Nils Kavanagh launches his highly anticipated debut album\, “No Expectations”. Winner of the Young Irish Jazz Musician of the Year Award 2022-2024 and finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician 2024\, Nils is already making his mark on contemporary improvised music. Audiences will journey through Nils’ unique upbringing\, rooted in the north-west of Ireland’s mystic landscapes and joyous fellowship\, while also inviting listeners to explore the sense of unity and introspection present in Denmark and broader Scandinavia. Home\, joy\, family\, mythology\, folk music\, loss and longing are all key to the music\, with an overarching focus on warm melody and musical storytelling. \nThe trio has an energetic and explorative sound\, with a taste for strong melodies\, bright harmonies and explosive rhythms influenced by Kavanagh’s Irish and Danish roots. With Ursula Harrison (BBC Young Jazz Musician winner 2024) on bass and Sam Green on drums\, the group brings a new flavour to the classic piano trio format\, presenting a diverse mix of music ranging from compositions inspired by Celtic traditional music and contemporary jazz from Scandinavia and the UK\, to modern interpretations of jazz repertoire and other popular music. \n“There is beauty\, there is communication\, there is space\, and there is energy” – Daniel Rorke\, Jazz Ireland album review \n“A strikingly mature debut. Kavanagh and his colleagues give the compositions room to breathe and grow and the interplay between the three instruments is highly developed and richly detailed” – The JazzMann \n

SUMMARY:Live Music: Juliet Lloyd
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome back singer-songwriter Juliet Lloyd for an intimate performance in The Chicken Shed.\n\nAfter a decade-long hiatus\, Juliet Lloyd returned to music in 2020 and Carnival (2024) was her fouth album – it reflects her folk-rooted storytelling with pop sensibilities and melodies. \nJuliet Lloyd is an acclaimed singer/songwriter who splits her time between the DC region and Nashville and has garnered comparisons to Brandi Carlile\, Aimee Mann\, and Tori Amos for her signature blend of soulful\, roots-infused folk/pop. Across her 20-year career as a writer and artist\, Juliet has released four studio albums\, garnering placements on television shows on MTV and VH1 and airplay on more than 175 radio stations across the country. Her 2024 full-length album Carnival has been hailed by reviewers for its “evocative storytelling and raw honesty” and “powerfully emotive performance from start to finish.” It features nine songs that “movingly and poetically tell of broken hearts and loneliness yet finds brightness in its melodies and in the luster of Lloyd’s voice.” Juliet’s songwriting and performance chops have earned her top honors in the 2022 Bernard/Ebb Songwriting Awards and Mid-Atlantic Song Contest\, four “Wammie” finalist nods\, and multiple prestigious national songwriter awards across the past several years. Both solo and with her band\, Juliet has performed 150+ shows a year since 2020\, including festivals and listening rooms across the US and UK. \nHer shows are described by audiences as being both intimate and electrifying. \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Music: Never The Bride
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Never The Bride are two trailblazing women: powerhouse vocalist Nikki Lamborn — hailed by Roger Daltrey as “the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin” — and Catherine “Been” Feeney\, the band’s primary composer\, keyboardist\, and occasional guitarist. Together\, they craft music with grit\, grace\, and passion\, supported by a world-class lineup of musicians. \nTheir career reads like a rock and roll hall of fame — sharing stages with legends such as The Who\, Robert Plant\, Elton John\, Paul Rodgers\, Eric Clapton\, and Beth Hart. Their unforgettable rendition of Going to California on Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin earned them a gold disc\, further cementing their place in music history. \nBBC’s Bob Harris\, a long-time supporter\, introduced their live album Long Live Live with these words: “I was absolutely struck by their brilliant musicianship\, their passion\, their commitment — they really\, mean it. They are one of the best live bands in Britain today.
