As a live Entity, the five strong Revolutionary Minds expertly provide rich, upbeat, hypnotic dub rhythms behind Benjamin’s beloved vocal and lyrical mastery. Amongst these backing vocals are supplied by Amy True, an artist in her own right she is fast becoming one of the most influential and talked about personalities in the UK Hip Hop scene, being equally formidable in both her ability to sing, and her ability to deliver fast paced gritty lyricism. Revolutionary Minds as a body of work tackles the indigestible topic of the world we live in today, political & economic corruption, global warming, rampant racism, fascist patriarchy...unfortunately we could go on & on.

Amid this chaos though Revolutionary Minds, both band and album, are the soundtrack for the modern revolutionist; it will make you feel empowered, hopeful, galvanised to make a difference and make you dance; it’s a dub thing.

On Monday 26^th June the Trinity Community Garden hosted Coutts Bank Bristol regional office “Corporate Volunteering Day”, led by Leigh Dodsworth. 11 enthusiastic participants - a few of whom travelled down from London - took this sunny day out of the office to help us with general gardening tasks and light maintenance in the garden, including: weeding and clearing the garden, playground and boarders around the grounds; as well as levelling the floor of our shelter area.

Anita O’Flynn, Garden Coordinator, had a list of tasks the size of her arm, so the day took a bit of management to get everyone on task, tooled up and happy with what they were doing.

2016-2017 has been a busy and successful year with the Trinity Community Garden hosting six main free and open activities, where people can join us - whatever the weather – to learn garden skills, enjoy the outdoors, meet new people and share some lovely food together! We have directly engaged a total of 627 people through weekly and monthly sessions, from tailored therapeutic gardening and cooking activities for adults with mental health issues to nature, play and craft session for under 5’s and school children over half terms and Summer.

Check out our What’s On for current gardening activities.

We have had real success and impact for our community so far, however we want to continue to improve and grow and we can only do this with your support. It costs us approx £1,500 a month to sustain our regular activities and there is so much to improve in our Garden, in terms of making the space accessible for all.

Corporate team-building sessions cost as little as £250+VAT to cover costs of a facilitator and materials to help resource your day - taking part in work that will provide a lasting legacy for the communities of Bristol...read more here.

This summer we have a range of activities, workshops and events especially programmed for young people, children and families.

Start the summer off with Bath Literature favourite Polarbear as he brings his spoken word show for young audiences - Mouth Open, Story Jump Out to The Trinity Centre  29 July. Be ready for a tale of assassins, boa constrictors and spies in this interactive show for 8 + (and their grown ups), tickets start at £6 and regular community group users get a discount.

Back again we have our very popular summer club, Children's Adventure in Nature in the garden, for 6 - 12 year olds (if you have a child under 6 they will need to have a grown up with them). Starting on 27 July and running every Monday & Thursday (expect bank holidays) until the end of August. Children will explore nature in our urban garden, learn bushcraft and play. It is free, but we ask those who can afford to, to donate £5 per session. To find out more and to book a place email: lisat@3ca.org.uk or call 0119 935 1200.

Fiesta Bombarda presents - kaleidoscopic collective, Submotion Orchestra, as they bring their entrancing electronic compositions to Bristol.

Formed in Leeds in 2009, the band quickly made a splash on the wider scene. Their live gigs left audiences open- mouthed, and their debut EP on Ranking Records drew a rave reaction from Gilles Peterson. Combining elements of electronic bass music, entrancing vocals, ambient, jazz and dub leaves us unable to compare them to any other group on the scene today. Their unique music is at once delicate and heavy, spacious and dense, highly atmospheric but firmly rooted. Earth-shaking bass and drums combine with lush keyboard and trumpet textures to create the perfect backdrop for the fragile beauty of Ruby Wood’s vocals, and the celestial effects of producer Ruckspin.

Fiesta Bombarda, the original carnival creatives, provide a ceremony to the senses in this unique pairing with Submotion Orchestra, merging colour and creativity in a sanctuary of modern sound and style.

On 3rd March Bristol’s Trinity Centre will be transformed by the ethereal sounds of one of the UK music scene's most up and coming and experimental orchestras.

Already confirmed for Autumn we have The Black Angels, psychedelic rock band all the way from Austin, Texas (27 Sep).

Paradise City

Over ten days IGNiTE summer residents Back in 5 Minutes Squad and Art in Motion will be creating an evolving installation up in our Fyfle Hall.

This is super exciting as Spike Island Residents  - Back in 5 Minutes Squad and emerging not-for-profit participatory arts organisation Art in Motion (AIM) will be collaborating for the first time for this project.

Evolving over the ten days of the residency these two diverse groups will collaborate to portray their vision of an ideal, egalitarian future in which humans of all types and abilities coexist peacefully and purposefully together - the fabric of this future city will reflect the diverse and idiosyncratic interests of all the artists involved.

From Monday 19 the artists invite you to visit during this exciting process and Paradise City will be open to everyone for a celebration event from 5-7pm in the Graffiti Room at Trinity on Thursday 29 June.

Paradise City is supported by Arts Council England via Grants for the Arts and by Trinity Community Arts.

Our team have been working behind the scenes to implement a brand new, bespoke, in-house CRM and ticketing system, so that people can get access to the things they want and buy tickets directly from us.

In line with our Free Software policy, our system has been developed using Open Source platform CiviCRM.

Now, you can sign up to our mailing list, create a user account, buy tickets and manage your own preferences and choose the things that you want to hear about.

The system also means that people can easily join up to be a Member of Trinity Centre or give a donation.  All data is still kept safe and secure in line with our Privacy Policy.

About CiviCRM

Our team - Ben Green, Dave Chedgy , Christian Wach, Sean Kenny and Helen Curry - have worked hard to develop and implement our new CiviCRM system. This platform follows our ethos of having open source and free software that everyone can access.

We will be sharing our processes and code as part of this project, with the hope that other community arts organisation can develop their own systems that are affordable and adaptable (you can find out more about that here).

We're putting our first show on sale via the new system, as part of our Arts Council funded IGNiTE Project - click here to find out more.

Our system is new and we welcome any feedback so please get in touch if you have any comments or suggestions as to how we can improve our systems and services.
