A event held at The Trinity Centre on Saturday 9th March. The event starts at 12:00.
Bring your instruments, your words and yourselves down to Trinity Centre for an afternoon of sharing music and stories inspired by the travelling life.
Free hot food and drinks provided and all ages welcome.
12:00 - 14:00 Songwriting and Poetry Workshop hosted by Lisa and Maddie from ROADSIDE.
Join us in writing songs and poems inspired by life on the road. We’ll offer different writing exercises and prompts to try. There will be a chance to share your words with the group. No experience required, everyone welcome!
14:00 - 16:00 Open Mic hosted by Esmerelda.
Bring your instruments, share something, or just come and have a brew and listen! All are welcome to try out new songs and old favourites.
Visual Art Workshop with Beth Goodwin (drop-in) - Throughout the day you are invited to take part in the creation of a collaborative art piece.
The idea is to produce a patchwork piece of drawings and collage, playing with tracing, drawing, light and shadow. Visually capturing the present movements of our bodies in this space, and the captured archival movement of the past, inspired by collected stories and photography of individuals in the wider community. You are welcome to bring your own images or stories to add to the piece or draw from ours!
Visually exploring the people, the faces and figures that hold the embodied stories, the music, the voice and the songs that drive new traveller culture.
-------
Esmerelda is a singer songwriter, with a neo-soul feel as well as folk and jazz influences. She draws inspiration from artists such as Lianne la Lavas, Nora Jones and Johnny Flynn. Her music explores nature, self and the relationship between the two, inviting you to nestle down and enjoy some sweet soft sounds.

Travelling Tunes is organised by the artists behind ROADSIDE. A new play coming to the Trinity Centre in April. Inspired by interviews with roadside dwellers across the south west and drawing on the musical history of this new traveller community, from festivals to free parties, to songs around the fire. ROADSIDE is a celebration of dance floor revelations and the emergence of a new traveller culture from festivals and free parties.
ROADSIDE is supported by ACE, Trinity Centre and Camden People's Theatre.
