The Orb are an English electronic music group founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and Jimmy Cauty. Known for their psychedelic sound, the Orb developed a cult following among clubbers "coming down" from drug-induced highs. April 28 sees the release of Prism, the eighteenth Orb studio album already being hailed as their most towering set for years. They’ll be playing the best parts from Adventures and UFOrb LIVE as well as some of the new stuff.

Eat Static is a Dance/Electronic project from Frome, Somerset, England formed in 1989 by Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton.

OOOD are an eclectic psychedelic dance act based partly in Bristol and celebrating their 30th anniversary next year. We've asked them to keep the tempo down a bit in keeping with tonight's theme so expect a deeper psy journey.

Nick Holden is an experienced DJ and producer, as well as being the singer for Ott & the All-Seeing I, he will be doing the important job of warming up for The Orb, to get a taste of his flavours, check his 2018 album, on Ottsonic Recs, ‘On Holiday By Mistake’ (find it on soundcloud or spotify etc)

Lurk is a Planet Shroom resident, whose first party was an Orb all-nighter at Brixton Academy in ’93, he was hooked ever since and will be digging deep to find some tunes from those halcyon daze for his set.

Festivities will start from 8.30am until 4am...

The final piece will go on tour with The Silent Heroines Disco performance, with the works displayed at each venue. This is a chance to get your voice heard, illustrated and accounted for.

More About Silent Heroine Disco

Silent Heroines Disco is an immersive theatre piece, directed by Jody Cook and Rosalie Pordes.

The idea was created by the Dutch company Women Connected, who developed the first Silent Heroines Disco in 2016 for International Women’s Day. Since then, they have grown the idea: performing festivals, touring internationally and inspiring other arts organisations to create their own versions. Jody Cook has followed the journey and chose to stage her own in Lockleaze in 2021 – and now for 2023 is touring it across other sites in Bristol and Weston Super Mare.

With the workshop centring on the question, 'What does being a woman mean to me?" experienced facilitators Jody and Rosalie will put you at ease and help you develop your performing confidence.

Trinity are pleased to be welcoming independent food vendor, The Digg Inn

"Independence is at the heart of what we do. I’m not gonna lie it’s not always easy, good things rarely are, but it is rewarding. There’s a satisfaction about creating something from nothing." Isaac Snow

New independent kitchen The Digg Inn opens at Trinity this week (16 March) offering Louisiana-style soul food.

The Digg Inn is a collaboration between the Ill Repute and Isaac Snow, who previously co-opened a restaurant on the Isle of Wight, called ‘Call it What You Want' and will be open for walk-up's Tuesdays - Saturdays, alongside serving food at our outdoor events including The Den Socials.

The company are the first residents in our outdoor kitchen that was installed as part of the updated Diggs project, which included a detailed community consultation to find out what the community wanted from us in a post-pandemic environment.

As always, all communities, organisations, projects and individuals interested in joining the programme are invited and we particularly welcome people with lived experience of the asylum process.

About Trinity Presents

This is part of Trinity Presents - our in-house programme of music and performance, bringing world-class artists and emerging talent to inner-city audiences.

His soulful style is likened melodically to modern-day contemporary Pop singer-songwriters ranging from Lewis Capaldi, Sam Smith, and Sam Fischer to Gavin DeGraw along with more traditional R&B influences like Stevie Wonder. His library of songs leans into storytelling, often focusing on love gained and lost and his own personal journey through life, which always delivers an emotive punch. Tim has spent 2022 playing festivals and selling out headline shows around the UK, whilst writing and releasing exciting new music. He is currently working on his next EP due in early 2023.

+ support: Kovic

Mark Kovic is a British singer-songwriter and producer, born and raised just outside London. He cultivated his strong baritone voice with nothing but an acoustic guitar in-hand, learning the importance of writing, and dedication to the craft of making compelling music.

Ahead of their show as part of Trinity Presents on 19 March, we sat down with Brian and Jackson from Dundundun to talk about how the group came together, the Bristol music scene, and more.

First off, could you tell us a little bit about how Dundundun formed?

It started out as a group of percussionists, slowly adding more instrumental players - the original focus, and something which we’ve continued with, I might add, was to play seamless ‘DJ sets’ with live musicians. That was the idea anyway, as the band has evolved, we’ve become more creative as to how this has happened and written in some real bangers to lift the set at the right points.

There are other groups in the city like Dundundun that feature musicians who work across several different projects – what do you think it is about the Bristol music scene that encourages this kind of collaboration?

Bristol is a small city, with a huge array of scenes. It’s inevitable that there’ll be a crossover with musicians/filmmakers, artists etc. "someone knows someone who knows someone who wants to work with a sax player - you up for it?” that’s basically how it goes. You say yes and suddenly you’re embroiled in another scene that you know existed but were on the fringes of. It’s always happened this way.

What other artists in Bristol should people be keeping an eye out for?

Well, there’s some great bands - particularly on the ‘Bristol Jazz’ scene. Run Logan Run are killing it right now, experimental, interesting and diverse music; Snazzback have got another album coming out with a heap of vocalists. Oh and Waldo’s gift - they were awesome at We Out Here festival in the wee hours!

Has being on the label Worm Discs influenced your sound?

No. We shape our sound. Although, literally speaking, Jackson who co-runs the label plays percussion in the band so in a sense - there is some truth to Worm shaping the sound!

And finally, what can audiences expect from your show at Trinity?

Expect a high energy, charismatic show with floor fillers and some great new material featuring guest vocalists. We’re really looking forward to this one on home turf.

Dundundun are performing at Trinity on 19 Mar as part of Trinity Presents, our in-house programme of music and arts. Click here to get your tickets.
