“Times Past and Times Present, this is music doc and a road movie, it's a meander with folk history and folk's future being played out in our times. Set against the incendiary backdrop of the USA's 2018 mid-term elections, and accompanied by a glorious soundtrack of blues and bluegrass, hollers and spirituals, the film retraces the route of an iconic song-collecting trip from the late 1950s –Alan Lomax’s so-called “Southern Journey”. The film-makers — who previously made The Ballad Of Shirley Collins, about the English folk singer who assisted Lomax in his quest — travel across Appalachia and the Deep South, using Collins’ memoir America Over The Water as their guide.”

“We are open on weekend evenings as a sit-down bar. Expect: table service; a wide selection of drinks from the likes of Wiper & True, Monty Wines, and Bristol Psychopomp plus our favourite local DJs playing all evening. Back room art installation by Joe Evans / main room wall mural by Guillaume de Ubeda. On selected nights our in-house record shop, Planet Caravan, will also be open.”

“Jackie Oates returns for a third visit to the club to perform her first ever solo gig in what promises to be a truly special evening. Many will remember her spine-tingling performance, backed by a full band, to a packed out Christ Church Downend as recently as last December (it feels like years ago, doesn’t it?!), and regulars may also cast their minds back to July 2015, when we first met Jackie, this time with Mike Cosgrave.”

“The month of all things spooky is here, and Phuct continues to host it's FREE hard-rocking, but socially-responsible "sit in" events at The Lanes to hopefully continue to give some semblance of normality to this bizarre universe.”
