Rahsaan Patterson’s career is proof that an artist can be progressive while firmly based in gospel and R&B traditions. After a 13-year period entailing a co-starring role on Kids Incorporated, songwriting triumphs with Brandy’s “Baby” and Tevin Campbell’s “Back to the World,” and other activity behind the scenes, Patterson finally made his solo major-label debut with a self-titled album (1997) that started an unbroken streak of moderately successful, stylistically adventurous studio recordings.

Her and her band are concocting a riot of Parisian decadence and British sweat ‘n sawdust, romance, danger, escapism and good old fashioned Rock’n’Roll. Her early rise has been as thrilling and immediate as the songs themselves, tales of doomed loves and twisted fantasy, that have seen her loyal following swell in number by the day. But to paraphrase a great man, first we must ask ourselves, how did we get here?

Trinity has been awarded one of the first grants through the Heritage Revival Fund, by the Architectural Heritage Fund, providing match funding for The National Lottery Heritage Fund-supported Development Phase of the Jacobs Wells Baths project.

The new £5million Heritage Revival Fund, launched earlier this year is delivered in partnership with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Historic England and Architectural Heritage Fund, helping communities across England to take ownership of historic buildings, to rescue and repurpose them into vibrant spaces that meet modern needs.

A Project Development Grant of £78,850 awarded through The Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) will enable us to advance plans to transform Jacobs Wells Baths - a much-loved iconic heritage building within Bristol city centre – into a multi-use hub for community, arts, youth and education.

This grant is a crucial contribution towards professional fees to help finalise the building’s detailed design and inform the next phase of capital and conservation works.

Heritage Minister, Baroness Twycross, said: "The Heritage Revival Fund is rejuvenating abandoned treasures up and down the country. I'm delighted that we have been able to support this through our Arts Everywhere Fund and I look forward to seeing the results of these first fantastic projects, including Jacobs Wells Baths being transformed into a community hub for arts, music and education. By restoring these loved buildings, we're ensuring these local assets can thrive for future generations."

Want to experience Bristol's best-kept secret? Want the best night of your life? Then bring yourselves to Bristol Ballroom Community's FRUITEA.

FruiTEA is an OTA Kiki function where members of the community walk and battle for Grand prizes. OTA stands for “open to all” meaning anyone can walk any category regardless of gender identity or expression, and none of our categories have an effect.

People will walk and get 10s from our judges before battling it out for the Grand Prize. Categories include Face, Vogue Fem, Old Way, Sex Siren, Best Outfit and more!

If you're planning on walking, do your research on the different categories beforehand. If you're coming to spectate and have fun, then bring your energy and vibe and get ready to be blown away!

Please keep an awareness that this is a priority space for queer and trans/gender non-confirming people of colour - respect the floor and the walkers.

FRUITEA is a QTBIPOC* priority space.

We'll be taking over The Den, our outdoor space for the party, with an indoor chill out zone in the main hall. We'll have food stalls, and the brilliant Trinity bar team will be curating some delicious alcohol free drinks to keep you cool.

Bristol Sober Spaces are events for anyone and everyone, the only twist is there's no alcohol on sale which makes it more accessible for people who don't drink for whatever reason. Whether you're sober, sober curious, don't drink for cultural or religious reasons, or just fancy a change, you're welcome!

This event is the first of many sober events through our new partnership, we're excited to kick things off with a sober day rave!

Line up:

• Roni Size
• Nicky Blackmarket (opening set 2pm)
