“Birthmarked is a new concept gig written and performed by Brook Tate and his grand ol' band of pals. Using songs he has written over the last six years, Brook tells the story - his story - of a young gay Jehovah's Witness as he comes to terms with his sexuality and finds his feet (and high heels...) in a world he once believed would be destroyed at Armageddon. With original music likened to Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell, and alongside a whale, a paintbrush and a pair of tap shoes, he hopes to shine a light on what it means to be marked...at birth.”
From: Birthmarked

“Los Angeles based Captain Planet will be providing a rare and intimate opportunity for producers, beat makers and musicians alike to experience how he goes about his creative and technical production process.”
From: Music Production Masterclass with Captain Planet

“Come join a lovely group of people and enjoy drawing two beautiful models. We will start off the session with a few quick poses to warm up then move onto longer poses that’ll allow you to focus on detail. 
Sessions include a fun jazz and r&b playlist along with wine and hot beverages!”
From: Bristol Life Drawing

“It’s party time but Kid has been grounded. His best friend Play, cooks up a scheme to sneak him out the house so he doesn’t miss out on the party of the century but Kid has no clue about the trouble that awaits him.”
From: CINEMA JAM

“Amongst the trees, between the pillars and by the water’s edge. Walk along the paths of this magical garden we call life and meet all the faces of thy self. Questions will be asked; choices will need to be made and the fruits of knowledge tasted!”
From: THE FOOL'S JOURNEY IMMERSIVE THEATRE 7:30pm
