“The People's Comedy launches a brand new night of socio-political comedy in BS5's The Lion. Every month we will be presenting this revolutionary event- the UK’s only regular socio-political comedy night, where Bristol’s satirists deconstruct the power paradigm to comedic effect, and the acts ACTUALLY get paid.”

“Join us for an informal exhibition preview of Angelica Mesiti's ASSEMBLY -  an immersive video installation exploring a new democracy of movement, poetry, and song - and Amak Mahmoodian's Zanjir - a photographic conversation across centuries, across countries and across the border between life and death.”

“Head to The Cloak and Dagger for a unique nose to tail, farm to fork dining experience and enjoy a sublime four-course meal accompanied with live talks on sustainable farming and brewing your own wines, beers and liqueurs. All ingredients are sourced through Farm Wilder and the Bristol Community farm. You will enjoy four courses combining fresh, intense Asian flavours from a set menu using traditional meat cuts adding a modern twist. Cooked for you by chef Chris Cowan and his team using only the finest local seasonal produce. Kitchen dining, friendly and professional service and boutique décor will make this dining experience hard to beat.”

“March 1919. Imagist poet Hilda Doolittle feels the first pangs of labour. She has been through this before, but things are different now: this child is not her husband’s. Convinced that the birth will claim her life, Hilda makes a frantic final confession to her unborn daughter.”
From: Before I am Lost

“After the release of their debut full length "I Live Inside a Burning House" and the accompanying tour throughout the United States, San Francisco's Body Void returned yet again to the watchful eyes (and ears) of Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios to lay down two new tracks that has become "You Will Know The Fear You Forced Upon Us".”
