Be part of our archive celebrating the history of Trinity and the communities of Old Market

As part of our Heart and Soul: Trinity in the Community project we will be collecting stories, pictures and memorabilia documenting Trinity as a space of unique celebration & commemoration. We would love to hear from people who have memories of special occasions at Trinity - from christenings to weddings to civil partnerships to wakes to parties - from when Trinity was church, and now as a community arts venue. Your stories and pictures will form part of our end of project exhibition and online archive.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Pavilion Dance South West (PDSW) and national partners are pleased to announce our call for participation in the Surf The Wave Artist as Entrepreneur programme.

They are seeking applications from independent dance artists, dance companies and their producers to participate in a year-long programme of activities that aims to:

• Create a space for thinking about how we create, communicate and collaborate in dance

• Build and strengthen networks and relationships with promoters and venues

• Open up possibilities for touring dance across the UK

• Support artists and companies to respond to these new opportunities

What is Surf The Wave?

Surf The Wave is a major dance project that aims to fundamentally change dance touring in the UK. This three-year project runs from October 2017 to August 2020, taking a longer term approach to talent development, networking and showcasing.

Surf The Wave will be delivered in three phases:

1. Artist as Entrepreneur - a strategic programme of talent development and artist support involving artists, producers and promoters (including those new to dance) around the UK.

2. The UK Dance Showcase (16th – 19th May 2019), which will have a separate selection process.

3. Surf Generator - A year-long programme of touring and development support to translate interest into tour dates following on from the Showcase.

They are now accepting applications for Phase 1: Artist as Entrepreneur

The Artist as Entrepreneur programme offers an opportunity for artists and their producers (where appropriate) to come together and participate in a period of reflection, development and networking across the UK. Participants will attend two intensive professional development events that will be hosted by partners (including here at Trinity). These events are a series of 2 x two-day residentials. The programme will include guest speakers, panel discussions, open space sessions and networking opportunities focussing on four key themes:

• Concept • Quality • Communication • Sustainability

The aim will be to look across and beyond the Creative Industries for inspiration and discussion.

The show will see the band perform for the first time tracks from their upcoming full-length debut album Balfron Promise which is due for release in February 2018.

Dizraeli & DownLow have long done hiphop PA shows as a sideproject to their band the Small Gods, but the past year saw them step it up to a new level - starting with a show opening for the Foreign Beggars to 3,000 people in Paris and going on to play in Koko, The Clapham Grand and Shepherds' Bush Empire in London as well as tearing up Boom Town and Shambala festivals over the summer, and taking their show on a UK tour.

Trinity is proud to announce that we have achieved Bronze status in line with Attitude is Everything's Venue and Festival Charter of Best Practice.

Attitude is Everything improves Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music by working in partnership with audiences, artists and the music industry. The ethos of the Charter is that Deaf and disabled people should be as independent as they want to be at live music events.

Attitude is Everything provided a toolkit detailing criteria for changes to the built environment, organisational policies and processes to help Trinity become more accessible. A specially designed action plan will allow us to progress through the stages, starting with Bronze and making our way to our goal of achieving Silver Award by the end of 2018. Reaching Bronze is recognition of our current offer:

- personal assistant ticket for gigs at no additional cost

- accessible parking spaces and box office

- viewing platform with good sightlines to the stage

As part of our commitment to access Trinity recently secured £5,000 funding from the Hedley Foundation and Bruce Wake Charitable Trust to pay for a mobile accessible lift to enable wheelchair users to access our Main Stage. The new lift can be available for any event. Please get in touch if you would like more information.

The crowd was made up of a lot of serious fans of Lanegan and his various collaborations from Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age to his folkier-toned music with Isobel Campbell. This led to a warm welcome for another collaborator of Lanegan’s, Duke Garwood, who is supporting on this tour.

Gardwood, a talented multi-instrumentalist whose music is the British answer to Lanegan’s distinct brand of Americana. Launching into some newer material made for a slow but steady start to Lanegan’s set, with a mellow but appreciative audience but once he hit Nocturne and Bleeding Muddy Water, things started to pick up with some more animated reactions - slow head-banging, sincere fist-bumping and heartfelt sing-a-longs.

Starting off in his signature sunglasses, Lanegan removed this during the set to reveal his wise, lived-in face; There were times when the impact of his wilder early days was visible, from his limp around the stage and his supping of water - not whisky. That unmistakable baritone voice proved the focal point for most songs, with girlfriend Shelley Brien joining him mid set for a few dynamic numbers.

The chemistry between the pair emanated from the stage and she parted with a loving and lingering kiss for Mr Lanegan. By the time the encore ensued, Lanegan demonstrated his staying power and brilliance as a musician - nailing One Way Street, Bombed and I Am The Wolf.
