What's Your Trinity Story? will span from the 60s until today and will culminate in an exhibition and booklet of people's memories and images.

Trinity is probably best known for its role in the music scene of the 1990s, when it played host to many top stars.

It hosted many famous artists notably from the punk and reggae genres, and was an important landmark in the globally exported "Bristol Sound" prominent during this era.

The space has also had a number of roles within the community over the years, from a bingo hall to a boxing ring.

It is now run as a community arts centre with regular training, projects and events.

Emma Harvey from the centre said: "There is a wealth of Trinity related stories out there and everyone seems to have their own unique memory of the space.

"This is a really exciting project that will document real people's stories, so that they can be passed on to future generations and centre users."

There will also be a series of workshop activities where participants from the local community will be invited to produce a stained-glass window design to represent local people and their history.

New Roots is billed as "Bristol bands who popularise the traditional musical styles of their influences".

Ten Ton Tongue, Vamos, The Dirty Roger, Zen Elephants and Chandelier Falls all play the six-hour gig.

Bristol has an extensive history of invention and innovation.

Sarah Corfield, an organiser of many music events, expressed her enthusiasm for the city's music scene. "I've always loved Bristol for being a city that harnesses the sounds of all musical genres," she says.

The surge of music, talent and distinctive shenanigans looks set to add to the wave of West Country creations.

Swallowed in the sea

Many of Britain's key music venues are being swallowed up by large organisations and sponsors, and the Trinity Centre is one of the last few remaining independent music centres in the UK.

The centre has hosted many large-scale events in its 17-year history as a music venue, with gigs including Massive Attack and Public Enemy.

For the unsigned performers, gigs at Trinity provide experience of getting out there and strutting their stuff on stage.

"There are so many pubs and venues doing their all to support the Bristol music scene, we just want to make sure we're doing our bit," says Sarah.

The focus has been on this positive interaction of age groups and cultures.

The project is in its 2nd phase following the successful creation of a permanent sculpture and time capsule at the Trinity Centre during the 1st phase last year. Through funding from Quartet, Trinity has been able to extend the project, reuniting some of the original participants and welcoming new participants.

Both phases have been developed and delivered by Community Artist Victoria Appleton.

The sessions have involved a wide variety of activities, games and forms of interaction. For instance, each person developed their own box in the shape of as book to hold aspects of their life story that they wished to share, and then there was lots of opportunity to share what each person had written or drawn.

Participants have taken cameras home and captured pictures of things that are important to them, they then shared this with the rest of the group.

How participants have benefited

Elders: the impact of this has been having the opportunity to spend time with young people from other countries, some who had only been in this country for a couple of months. The young people were lively, kind and interested in the exchange and the Elders felt honoured to be part of their lives for the period of the sessions.

Young People: they appreciated that the elders had shown them a lot of interest; given up their time to do this and were willing to support them in their life experiences. They also felt the need to take care of the elders, particularly those who needed more support with mobility and learnt that older people are not boring, and that they don’t always order you around!

The project has been effective in that it offered opportunities for talking together and inter-generational and multi-cultural interaction. It took people out of their comfort zone and got them to open up about issues of prejudice and misunderstanding; showing that such attitudes and beliefs are not necessary – there is always another way to communicated and understand each other. It also provided a safe place for the participants to explore aspects of their own and each others life story, the process of which underlined the value and preciousness of each one of those lives.
