Gigs In Bristol Today

Events on Saturday 13th June

“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.”
From:

“\- **Description** - In this event we'll discuss the "crisis in masculinity" that we're facing today. Why are men increasingly being drawn into toxic, hateful, and individualistic ideas? And is there any way to fix it? ”
From:

“Many modern feminists see the European witch-hunt (waves of witch-hunting campaigns across Europe and the British colony in north America from 15th to 18th centuries) as a genocide of women. As such, they see witch-hunting as directly connected to women's oppression today: modern feminists are 'the daughters of the witches that they failed to burn.' ”
