Asteroid Deluxe
Fantastic Planet
plus ARCC
Asteroid Deluxe are making a name for themselves playing warped-out music to soundtrack warped-out movies. Their recent rendition of 'The Holy Mountain' in Bristol sold out in a flash. Their psych/prog is reassuringly epic and dazzlingly played. Fantastic Planet is a sci-fi animation from 1973 with surreal and mesmerising psychedelic imagery.
ARCC are a Bath-based impro-to-film collective.

Frank Williams - More Tea Vicar?
Dad's Army Vicar Frank Williams invites you to join him for a hilarious afternoon/evening of TV nostalgia. David Croft and Jimmy Perry chose Frank to create the role of the wonderfully eccentric vicar who was always slightly tetchy as he tried to come to terms with the elderly platoon's invasion of his beloved church hall. Join Frank as he celebrates a lifetime on Stage, TV, Film and the legendary BBCTV series. More info and booking...

Ichi meets Kid Carpet
Two unique musicians with a DIY attitude.
Ichi makes his own instruments and his performance, while breaking barriers and misusing conventions, is always entertaining, tuneful, danceable even.
Kid Carpet makes a sort of candy punk rock with toy and broken instruments and a lot of (sometimes misplaced) energy.
