This Bank Holiday weekend sees Jesters Comedy Club throw open its
doors to host Crofts, a day of performance by local artists and
musicians. Taking place on Sunday 4th May, the event aims to raise
money for local arts organisation The People's Republic of Stokes
Croft. From mid-afternoon until the early hours of Monday morning a
mixture of bands, musicians and DJs will be performing on stage,
whilst a variety of artists and performers will also be in attendance
to add to the atmosphere.
Upbeat vibes will be the order of the day, styles of music including
funk, soul and ska. The event gets underway at 3pm with a BBQ on the
sun terrace to the sounds The El Pato Band in session – here's hoping
for sunshine! Proceedings move inside at 7pm to start the evening's
entertainment proper. An extensive line-up includes acts from across
the musical spectrum, ranging from acoustic Hip-Hop artist Clayton
Blizzard to party tunes courtesy of The Asbo Disco.
Heading the bill are three groups representing the finest Bristol has
to offer. The Rinky Dinks are Bristol's first ukulele supergroup,
comprising of musicians drawn from a number of Bristol bands past and
present. The Scribes are a new-wave hip-hop four piece who have toured
all over Europe and supported luminaries such as Westwood, Roll Deep
and Foreign Beggars. Ruckus Collective are a fusion group drawing on
influences as diverse as Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop and Rock to Reggae, Ska,
Blues and experimental Electronica. Expect things to get lively!
Tickets are available from Jesters for £5.
All money raised will be donated to The People's Republic of Stokes
Croft. Anyone who lives nearby can't have failed to notice the impact
this arts collective have had in the Stokes Croft area. Recent efforts
have included brightening the façade of long derelict Westmoreland
House with a number of striking murals and the implementation of
graffiti practice walls. Their activities have not gone unnoticed,
with the group received press coverage nationwide. It is hoped that
Stokes Croft can serve as an example as to how communities can claim
back their public spaces. Chris Chalkley explains:
'Stokes Croft represents a golden opportunity to create an alternative
vision to the corporate madness that is Cabot Circus. Our unique
culture is our greatest strength, and we must fight to preserve this.
'In Stokes Croft, there is an opportunity to create an alternative
vision for the way society could be. If we can make it work here, we
can create a template that can work throughout society. It is that
important...'
