“Spoken and written word evening. We will hear poetry and spoken word from a number of performers in the first half followed by Dr Finn Mackay talking about their new book 'Female-masculinities-and-the-gender-wars' after the interval https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/oct/05/finn-mackay-the-writer-hoping-to-help-end-the-gender-wars”

“Described by Fucking Young as "one of the wildest, raving, and experimental projects making waves in the French underground," and by Vice as "Defying our generation, grabbing it by the collar and shaking out it's last remaining drops of decadent sap," Daisy Mortem are UFO's from the French countryside. After accompanying IC3PEAK and GFOTY on their entire respective tours, Daisy Mortem was noticed by CATNAPP, who then released their first album Faits Divers, on her label NAPP RECORDS in 2020.”

“Ålesund return with ‘A Thread In The Dark’, a follow up to 2020’s ‘All Hail to Your Queen’. Following the untimely curtailing of their European Tour in Spring 2020 thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak, they came back home and used the lockdown as a time to write, demo up new ideas and record a four track EP.”

“Bristol’s Ishmael Ensemble are a pioneering force within contemporary UK jazz. With saxophonist and producer Pete Cunningham at the helm, the group fuses mesmerising jazz instrumentals with expansive electronics and dub inflections.”

“Area 11 are a British four-piece band who, to date, have released two studio albums, three EPs, and four stand alone singles in 2019. Both of their albums ‘All The Lights In The Sky’ and ‘Modern Synthesis’ have enjoyed great chart success. The group’s genre remains hard to define as their music ranges from sweeping electronic soundscapes to dance-rock anthems to understated acoustic songs. Suitably, their songs range in concept from the cerebral and abstract to the nostalgic and personal. After multiple sell-out Bristol shows, the band return to the city for the final date of their UK tour.”
