Events on Friday 19th October

“The theme is re-duce, re-cycle, re-use. With a focus of"who am I in Bristol", the young designers then look at different eras and decide what materials, silhouettes and colour palettes they will be using.”

“The Sitcom Trials is the comedy show where brand new sitcoms compete and the audience vote for the winner. Each trial script ends on a cliff-hanger and the audience's favourite is given another outing to conclude the story. In between each sitcom, there is also a'Pitch Fest' where the audience is invited to pitch funny ideas for sitcoms. Have we found the new Office? The new Outnumbered? The new Open All Hours? Only you can decide.”

“Upbeat tribute to that 80s period when soul, funk and jazz came together and Randy Crawford, Chaka Khan and others perfected the sound. Craig Crofton (sax), Anders Olinder (keyboards), Guy Calhoun (guitar) and Des Rogers (bass) will be joined by a great guest vocalist to pay tribute to those halcyon days.”

“Time to release your inner beatnik and let him/her loose on the black-cled dancefloor as the Bongolian's splendid recreation of 60s jazzy-funk dance sounds comes to town. With a 5-piece line-up that includes two percussionists as well as a splendidly swirling Hammond there's more than a hint of the acid about this groovy jazz.”
