Gigs In Bristol Today

Events on Thursday 11th June

“Flawed Mandrake Theatre present 'Today I Wrote Nothing' - On the 2nd of February 1942 Daniil Ivanovich Kharms died of starvation in the psychiatric ward of the Kresty Prison during the siege of Leningrad. Told as a fever dream his life flashes before his eyes intermingling elements of fact and his own absurdist fiction. Using a variety of puppetry techniques this story plays out on a second hand dresser. Do not expect to understand. But if you do, please tell us.”
From:

“Miranda Rutter is joined by Rob Harbron on concertina and Sam Sweeney on fiddle to present Bird Tunes, an exquisite new suite of folk tunes with birdsong at their core. Miranda has crafted every tune in the project out of fragments of birdsong which she recorded on her phone during woodland walks near her home. The suite is both a love-song to the intricacy and beauty of birdsong, and a timely reminder of the struggles with habitat loss and human-made dangers faced by migrating birds today.”
From:

“Sam’s shows are anything but ordinary, leaving audiences buzzing long after the final note. With his fifth album in the works, he’s sure to cement his place as one of the most exciting musicians on the scene today.”
