Jake Xerxes Fussell is a singer, guitarist, and composer based in Durham, NC. His intuitivecreative process often draws from traditional music and archival field recordings-incorporating elements of songs from the past into new work. He is, according toAnnPowers of NPR, "maybe the leading interpreter of American folk music right now..." Fussell’s albumWhen I’m Calledwas released to critical acclaim by Fat Possum Records inthe summer of 2024. The album was produced by James Elkington and featuresBlake Mills(guitars), Ben Whiteley (bass), and Joe Westerlund (drums), along with additional vocalsfrom Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb. His most recent recording “Close My Eyes” (a song by the late Americancomposer/cellist/singer Arthur Russell) was released in March of 2025 as a digital single. Fussell and Elkington also wrote and recorded the music forRebuilding, a new feature filmdirected by Max Walker-Silverman that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. “Fussell’s music often comes with complex citations; he is a folksinger in the truest sense,collecting ideas and melodies and lyrics from distant and disparate traditions, looking for thethings that unite us in our humanity.”-The New Yorker “(Fussell) is one of the great magpies ofAmerican song, collecting forgotten, tarnishedgems with a folklorist’s zeal... his renditions aren’t so much cover versions ascomposites...”–The Guardian Information Source: The Fleece Bristol | eventbrite

Islands. Life on the edge of existence, walled in by the ocean, crucibles of humankind where nature still holds the reins. I’m fascinated by them and had the privilege to work as a vet for many years on four of the British South Atlantic Islands: the Falklands, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha and St Helena. Richly diverse, far-flung remnants of Empire. Each has its own utterly unique story to tell, moulded by history, topography, peoples and climate. The Falklands: a grand archipelago down in the chilly waters near the Antarctic convergence, with rich fisheries, abundant wildlife, and more sheep than the eye can muster. Ascension: an equatorial military base once nicknamed ‘The Cinder’ because of its brutish volcanic landscapes, home to colourful land crabs, and nesting sea turtles, but with a lush central peak, the first example of terraforming. Tristan: the remotest island settlement in the world, a crofting-type community of some 250 hardy souls perched on the brim of a recently active volcano, their livelihoods dependent on harvesting the abundant crayfish that swarm in the kelp forests. And tropical St Helena: the former darling of the East India Company, once the most impregnably fortified place in the world and crammed with built heritage, dramatic scenery and endemic species. Not to forget the oldest known living land animal in the world, Jono the Giant Tortoise, who is approaching his third century. My talk will be a colourful picture fest of land and sea to convey these stories, laced with anecdotes about my great love, the animals. To me, they represent the best of us: innocent and honest, they never lie, they never deceive. I aim to entertain and uplift, to whizz you through these remote communities and provide the ultimate in armchair travelling so… fit that safety harness and buckle up!

These dates included many well-respected festivals and lengthy tours with well-established artists. ASOMVEL released their definitive album, ‘ Born to Rock ‘n’ Roll’ on March 29th 2024, following a year of tremendous growth with their music reaching new fans around the world, due to their incredible social media presence. The new album will be followed by extensive touring, bringing their electrifying stage show to an army of hungry fans!” The group’s prior records consist of Kamikaze (2009), Knuckle Duster (2013), the Full Moon Dog EP (2014) and World Shaker (2019) Information Source: The Fleece Bristol | eventbrite

We have five years to stop nature’s decline. We know the challenge. Together, we can deliver the solutions. Join us on Thursday, 11 September, at the Bristol Beacon for a day to celebrate nature in the UK, and discuss the action we must take together to restore it. Nature brings immense value to our lives, to the economy and to communities. Whether it's protecting communities from flooding and extreme weather, supporting rural areas and food production, helping us tackle climate change, or improving our mental health – nature underpins it all. At our first Wild Summit, we’ll bring together nature lovers, community campaigners, businesses, politicians, officials, and policy experts for a day of presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and conversations focused on the critical importance of investing in nature.

The goal? To help the UK halt and reverse nature's decline by 2030. Why now? The UK has signed an ambitious global agreement to halt and reverse the decline of nature by the end of this decade. However, with just five years left until the deadline, nature is still facing rapid decline. At the Wild Summit, we’ll demonstrate the vital role nature plays in daily lives and the urgent need for large-scale investment and action. What is the Wild Summit all about? The Wild Summit is about coming together to make real change happen. It’s a day for sharing knowledge, forging partnerships, and inspiring action. It’s about celebrating what’s already working, while also asking: how can we do more and do better? Together, we can restore Britain’s natural heritage and safeguard it for generations to come. What can you expect on the day?

Join us for this very special screening of the award-winning documentary A Life In Tandem at Bristol Grammar School - the very place Luke Grenfell-Shaw's Bristol2Beijing expedition began! After the screening you'll have the chance to put protagonist and producer (and OB!), Luke Grenfell-Shaw, and director, Mike Rumsey, on the spot with a Q&A session. Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start. About the film A Life In Tandem tells the extraordinary true story of Luke, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer aged 24. Given months to live, he sets off on a 20,000 mile cycle from Bristol to Beijing - on a tandem. Over 800 people join him, as Luke experiences extraordinary highs and devastating lows on this unique journey, and discovers friendship and inspiration in the most unlikely of places. By turns tear-jerking and side-splitting, experience this uplifting, poignant and deeply human story. Watch the trailer below. Praise for A Life In Tandem “This is a story that must be told. Astonishing courage and self-belief. ” Ellen Windemuth, Oscar winner for My Octopus Teacher. “A terrific adventure film with a real difference… visually stunning.” Richard Klein, Oscar winner for Man on Wire.

Welcome to Spark's tailored workshop that shows you exactly what AI means for your creative business, how to embrace it in the design process, and practical advice on how to move forwards. When we talk to creative businesses, we often find that while they know AI is going to change our industry, they are not clear on what the impact is likely to be, how they can embrace AI themselves, and how they can get started on the AI journey. Many creatives feel overwhelmed by AI, worry it will undermine their creativity, and are unsure how to integrate it into their creative processes without losing the human touch that defines their work. What you will learn This workshop from Jules Love ( Spark AI ) demystifies AI, and gives you straight forward, practical advice on how to get started. It covers: · What really is Generative AI, and why do you need to embrace it to compete? · What are the big creative agencies using Generative AI for, and where is this all going? · What are some of the tools out there for text, images and video? · How can you get the best out of ChatGPT and Midjourney for creative tasks? · How do you embed AI-augmentation throughout the creative workflow? · How is this going to change the industry, and what can we do to remain competitive? · What are the risks around data privacy and IP? · How do you get started operationalising it in your team? This four-hour session turns pessimism about the future with AI into optimism and enthusiasm to get started, with a practical path forwards. Who is this workshop for? This workshop is ideal for agency leaders, creative teams and freelancers at the early stages of AI adoption. It’s perfect for those just exploring the possibilities of AI, and those looking to move from experimenting with it to truly operationalising it. Where is it? Join us in person at Origin Workspace in Bristol for an afternoon filled with insightful talks, hands-on practice, and networking opportunities. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired! Information Source: Bristol Creative Industries | eventbrite
