PWEI were one of the first groups to blend heavy rock sounds with rap and electronica in the late '80s. The four-piece from Stourbridge made their name with tracks such as Bulletproof and Get The Girl! Kill The Baddies! and they became notorious for their incendiary live shows, sharing the stage with the likes of Primal Scream, Public Enemy and Run DMC.

]]>The hoop has come a long way since the 1950s, when it was predominantly marketed as a toy for children. Over the past few years, hooping has become a true art and dance form, sparking trends including fitness regimes, an International Holiday and even fire hooping!
SWhoop 2011 will see two weekends of workshop events, led by the best and most renowned hoopers and teachers from across the UK and the US. International teachers will be the same for both weekend and include Anah "Hoopalicious" Reichenbach, Malcolm Stuart, Emma Kerr and Loz Becausebut. We will also see sessions delivered by UK teachers including Satya Bella (11th-13th) and Angie Mack (18th-20th).
There will be additional optional dance and circus workshops from complimentary disciplines as well as ample social and playing time. Each weekend will feature a Saturday night showcase and LED Ball. This is truly a unique opportunity for those with a passion for hooping and one not to be missed.

The Maccabees announce low key dates at intimate venues to perform tracks from eagerly awaited third studio album.
‘The Maccabees are entering the prime of their musical lives’ - NME
The Maccabees have today announced a run of low key dates to perform tracks from their eagerly anticipated, as yet unnamed, third studio album.
The five-piece from London, Orlando Weeks, Hugo White, Felix White, Rupert Jarvis and Sam Doyle, are putting the finishing touches to the follow up to their critically acclaimed 2009 album Wall Of Arms at their Elephant and Castle studio space.
The bands decision to play smaller intimate shows to road test new tracks comes in the wake of electrifying performances at Portsmouth Wedgwood Rooms and the Phoenix in Exeter. As with both of these recent shows and the forthcoming dates the performances will also include songs from the bands much loved first two records.
The run of shows begin on 21st October in Gloucester, ending in Bristol on 2nd November and includes one off small, capacity London show at the Village Underground on November 1st.
Tickets will go on sale this Saturday 24th September. The band have decided to keep booking fees on tickets low by making them available through local records shops wherever possible.

]]>Trinity Community Arts will be launching a dynamic new community space along the high street of Old Market in Autumn 2011.
6 West Street will be developed by Trinity to provide a hub for community and arts activities, including affordable meeting and office space with reduced rates for local people and groups, a café with free wi-fi and low-cost internet access and exhibition space for local artists.
Historic Old Market is currently undergoing significant change, welcoming new residents and businesses and developing its identity as a diverse and vibrant area. Known for its eclectic mix of traders, its vibrant lesbian and gay community and a bustling nightlife, the high street currently acts as a gateway for communities of Easton & Lawrence Hill to the Cabot Circus development and the City Centre.
Trinity Community Arts already run the Trinity Centre – a community centre and live music venue situated at the top of Old Market, providing services to Easton, Ashley and Lawrence Hill. 6 West Street will complement activities and events already happening at Trinity and around the local area.
The project is in its development phase and consultation is being carried out in order to create a multi-purpose community space where local groups can use facilities, computers and meeting space.
Emma Harvey, Centre Manager of Trinity Centre said; “This is a really exciting new project in one of Bristol's most important cultural quarters. We would love to hear from anyone with ideas for the space and interest in getting involved.”
Trinity is working closely with local partners including the Old Market Community Association, the Bristol Gay Village Business and Residents’ Association, Bristol City Council and Destination Bristol who are driving the Retail Sector Development Project. The retail project is seeking to help reinvigorate the Old Market High Street and improve the situation for its businesses.
Project Manager, Eva Stuetzenberger, said: “The new Trinity outlet will be right in the heart of Old Market, injecting new arts and culture into the life of this vibrant and diverse community. A fantastic opportunity and resource for residents, visitors and businesses alike.” The development of 6 West Street will help raise the profile and visibility of local activities and contribute to the ongoing regeneration of Old Market.
Ideas for the space include providing an information and meeting point for community and arts activities, affordable office and meeting space through the Trinity Community Initiative which provides subsidised spaces for grassroots groups and an exhibition space for local artists.
If you are interested in sharing your ideas and helping with the development of West Street, please contact info@3ca.org.uk or visit the project area of our website.
If you would like to get involved or would simply want to pop down and observe the creative process contact us at training@3ca.org.uk / 0117 935 1200

Our Space Your Space
Our second Graffiti Project is taking place during the following weeks and is part of our Well Being Project funded by My neighbourhood. During this project, young people will be creating vibrant community wall, here in Trinity's Garden, which will reflect their ideas about their local area and will be a chance for young people from different backgrounds to work positively together.
The outside piece will be visible to all visiting Trinity's garden and will help create a more inviting space for young people and their families.
Sessions for this project will take place Tuesday 21st, Thursday 23rd, Tuesday 28th and Thursday 30th June (16:00 - 18:00). The final wall will be unveiled as part of our Free Activities Day for young people on Friday 1st July.
