New years SHINDIG promising a wealth of quasi-acoustic loveliness in a beautiful setting, welcoming Anglo-American husband-wife duo (& clear DIY geniuses) Rue Royale to Cambridge. Welcome guys :)

Joining them will be four-piece instrumentalists Subzar, encompassing in their number guitars, cello and a violin, performing works from their narrative concept EP 'I am Not Here Yet'. Encompassing members of the late & great band The Dawn Chorus, the Retrospective Soundtrack Players "may not be the world's greatest punk/rock/folk/pop concept band, but are in the top one" - writing albums soundtracking their favourite old films and books.

As the latent theme seems to be narrative, the door is open for some of Cambridge's secret enclave of storytellers to get up to the mic. At present date of writing, this includes Allographic and Hammer and Tongue's Fay Roberts, author J.S. Watts, and recently self-published Emily Scialom. It'll be grand :)

Hosted by Glenn Hutchinson and Toby Peters, CB2’s upstairs area is set to become a bustling hubbub of musical and spoken word performance in aid of FLACK Magazine – a local charity working creatively with people who’ve experienced homelessness.

Glenn Hutchinson is a poet of some renown, originally from Northern Ireland but now finding himself here in Cambridge. He has published several works, notably the collection “On the Border”, and is very much looking forward to reading publically again.

Toby Peters is a musician & filmmaker, currently employed as FLACK’s artist in residence. In 2010 he was awarded the TalkTalk Digital Heroes award for his inspirational contribution to FLACK and unique digital film making. His personal experience of homelessness gives him great empathy in his work.

FLACK Magazine works with people’s potential, not their problems, producing a monthly magazine full of articles, artwork and listings unique to Cambridge. Why not grab a copy on the night?

Donations welcome instead of entry fee :-)

Using the rhythms and natural melody found in Irish speech, composer and producer Gerry Diver has created a unique collection of new music.

The Speech Project features exclusive spoken word contributions from seminal Irish folk musicians including Shane MacGowan, Damien Dempsey and Christy Moore.

Key phrases from recorded interviews are the seeds from which his compositions grow into ground-breaking and stunningly beautiful works.
